Giancarlo Flati was born in L’Aquila (Italy) in 1953. His artistic activity
began in 1964 and since the 70s he has constantly dedicated himself,
during his long stays in many northern European countries, to a dual
activity: artistic and surgical research (the latter until 2009).Winner
of various prizes and awards including the Museo Michetti (MUMI)
award in 2005 and the cover prize of the Art & Beyond magazine
United States and Canada in 2016. Flati’s current artistic research
is aimed at exploration of the microscopic world including quantum
information, holographic paradigm and holomovement of matter
mediated by the topological forms of space-time. Flati’s creative
consciousness is deeply influenced by poetry, hidden orders of Life,
Quantum Microcosm, extreme frontiers of Biophysical research,
neuroscience, computer science and by the “Totality and Implicate
Order” theorized by David Bohm. Several exhibitions have been
set up in Museums, Institutions and Galleries, International Artistic
events in Italy, Europe and the United States. Private collections of
his works are present in Italy, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany,
Spain, Poland, Australia and the United States. He is the founder of a
new artistic movement focused on promotion of a New Renaissance
based on MABITS (Marginal Art Bits) rooted in extreme domains of
Art Technology and Science. Until 2009 Flati was a microsurgeon,
general surgeon, researcher and professor of Medical Scientific
Methodology at the University of Rome “Sapienza”. Distinguished art
critics have been writing about him and his works.
