Richard Deacon joins the gallery

RizzutoGallery is pleased to announce that Richard Deacon is now represented by the Gallery.

Richard Deacon (Bangor - Wales, UK, 1949), internationally renowned British artist and winner of the prestigious Turner Prize in 1987, is the author of sinuous and articulated sculptures in which he combines craftsmanship with sophisticated engineering techniques. Working with a wide range of materials, Deacon creates works of varying scale, from domestic and museum-sized pieces to environmental works, where the concept of a central void acts as both a physical and symbolic generative core.
While working in the field of sculpture, Deacon has always engaged in continuous experimentation, moving from sculpture to audio-video, from painting to decoration, from experimental languages to fine art graphics.
With over five hundred exhibitions in galleries and public museum spaces in major cities worldwide, Deacon has been invited to the most prestigious events on the international scene, awarded significan prizes and commissioned to create important public works. He has also dedicated much time to teaching, first in various British institutions and then, for many years, at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris and at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf.
In 2024, the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo awarded Richard Deacon the title of Academician of Honour.
