Artist's Bio

Marco Cianfanelli was born in Johannesburg in 1970 and graduated, with a distinction in Fine Art, from the University of the Witwatersrand in 1992. He has had seven solo exhibitions and has won numerous awards, including the ABSA L’Atelier and the Ampersand Fellowship. Well-known for his bold public art pieces and large-scale sculptural works, he was a member of the design team for Freedom Park, South Africa’s national monument to freedom, situated in Pretoria. His monumental, fragmented portrait sculpture, Release, was inaugurated to symbolically mark the 50th anniversary of Nelson Mandela’s capture at the site in the KwaZulu Natal Midlands. Cianfanelli’s latest public works, of unprecedented scale, have been realised in Abu Dhabi, UAE; Atlanta, USA, Nike World Headquarters in Oregon, USA, and most recently at Deloitte in Johannesburg, SA. His artworks can be found in public and private collections in South Africa (Sasol, ABSA, Didata and Bloemfontein Art Museum) Europe and the United States (MOMA NY, Smithsonian National Museum of African Art and Wells Fargo Private Collection).
