BIOGRAFIA COMPLETA - ENGLISH [aggior. 27.09.2011]
Renato Meneghetti‘s BIOGRAPHY (last update September 27th 2011) Renato Meneghetti was born in Rosà (Vicenza). He began to paint at a very early age and his artistic output has developed in the fortress of Ezzelino da Romano where he spent his childhood, as well as in the various Palladian Villas which he has restored and lived in. He has spent one-third of his life travelling round the world to satisfy his curiosity. He speaks solely through his works. After his first works, presented during the Sixties by friends and artists such as Fontana, Munari and Guiducci, and after a series of competitions and early exhibitions, he bought back almost all his works and has since then lent them only to public institutions or museums. He rarely exhibited in private galleries, he rarely lent his Works. Since 1997 Meneghetti’s works was in private galleries and in the most important international auctions (Christie’s, Sothebi’s, Ketterer, Dorotheum, Tajan, Bonhams, Neumeisters…). His favourite art form is painting, the visible instrument of the revolutionary potential of art and he fights for its social purpose. He has also dedicated himself to other artistic fields such as music (“Numero e suono” (Number and sound) International computer music conference. La Biennale di Venezia, 1982), cinema (40th International Film Festival, La Biennale di Venezia, 1983) and multimedia (50th International Art Exhibition, Biennale di Venezia, 2003), big installation (La Biennale Architettura 2010; Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte 54° La Biennale di Venezia 2011 in three section: Padiglione Italia – Arsenale, Iniziativa speciale del padiglione Italia alla 54° Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte per il 150° dall’ Unità d’Italia Tesa 99 - Arsenale Novissimo, Tese 101, 102 – Arsenale Novissimo).

The most leading Italian critics have written a lot on Meneghetti. Gillo Dorfles focused his attention on the X-Rays stating what follows: …“Meneghetti’s X-Rays have stood out as the only new significant reality in the Italian art over the last twenty years”… Now that the x-ray is widely used in many art forms and in advertising, the technique adopted by Meneghetti no longer creates surprise or scandal. "It must also be recognised that he was undoubtedly among the first, if not the very first, to see the aesthetic rather than scientific interest in this medium, and above all to detect the deeper meanings in its use…”. Protagonist of numerous solo exhibitions in the leading European museums, Meneghetti has become known as the painter of “x-rays”. This artist has worked outside the movements of his time and over the recent years his style has influenced many younger colleagues as well as the world of advertising.
