Bio

Dario Tironi è nato a Bergamo nel 1980. Dopo aver ricevuto la laurea in scultura nel 2006 presso l’Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, Milano, prende parte alla formazione di due associazioni attive sul territorio nella promozione di artisti emergenti e nella creazione di eventi in collaborazione con altre realtà.
Indirizza la sua ricerca artistica verso particolari temi e problematiche che caratterizzano la società contemporanea come i risvolti ecologici e le conseguenze dell’attività umana sull’ambiente, gli squilibri globali, le contraddizioni del sistema capitalista-consumistico, l’alienazione dell’essere umano. Nella sua pratica artistica si serve di una moltitudine di materiali eterogenei, spesso presi dalla quotidianità, oggetti trovati e materiali di scarto, prodotti dell’ ”Era della plastica”: accessori, apparecchi tecnologici, giocattoli e bambole, elettrodomestici e soprammobili, gadget di ogni tipo e prodotti di massa. Tironi elabora il suo linguaggio partendo dai frammenti della società dei consumi: elementi carichi di simbolismi e reminescenze, assemblati, modificati o accostati per dare vita a nuove forme e significati che portano a porci delle domande sulla sostenibilità delle azioni umane.
Ha all’attivo diverse mostre collettive e personali in Italia e all’estero tra cui “Open 13”, Venezia – “Human constructions”, Fortezza del Priamar, Savona -“Impatto 2.0”, Museo Nazionale Atestino, Padova – “Monument to mankind”, Piazza del Duomo, Pietrasanta – “Ho cercato l’armonia”, Vittoriale degli Italiani – “Superfuture”, MAD Museum, Singapore – “Figure furìturibili”, Collezione Luigi Cattaneo, Ateneo di Bologna – “Contemporary trasformations”, Duke contemporary, Bangkok – “Il dialogo dei contrapposti”, Reggia di Caserta – “Scrapart” Doha, Qatar – “Natura umana”, Museo Part, Rimini – Premio Vaf, Kiel – “Valuable scrap, CSO Ankara.
Ha collaborato nella realizzazione di campagne ed eventi di sensibilizzazione legati alle tematiche ambientali con numerose associazioni, enti pubblici ed aziende tra cui Enel, Generali, Unipol, Havas, QC Terme.
Le sue opere si trovano in numerose collezioni pubbliche e private in Italia e all’estero.
