Gilberto Zorio is associated with the Arte Povera generation, which originated in Italy during the mid-1960s. Utilizing non traditional and non conventional materials, Zorio was a major exponent of this movement and has continued to play an important role in the development of sculptural practice for over forty years. He is primarily concerned with capturing and conveying forms of energy, experimenting with chemical and mechanical processes and material transformations.
