54/55 Carlo Domeniconi, Curriculum vitae Carlo Domeniconi was born a son of Italian immigrants in Schaffhausen, Switzerland in 1951. He left Switzerland for several years and worked in Vicenza, in the North of Italy and in Valencia, Spain. Numerous exhibitions followed in Switzerland, the U.S., France, Germany, Austria, Spain and Italy. Domeniconi was rewarded the reputable „Manor Art Price“ in 1988 as well as the „Georg-Fischer-Prize“ in 1997 and the „UBS Art Prize Schaffhausen“ in 2009. Carlo Domeniconi‘s extensive work covers techniques such as painting, drawing and prints. He combines narrative and ornamental structures with a very idiosyncratic authenticity. The human being, whose inconsistency and contradictoriness lies in the center of the artist‘s interest, is often symbolised as a Janus Head. Given the sensual and visionary character, together with the often surreal handwriting of his paintings, Domeniconi achieves his very own and outstanding expression.
