Born 1956 in Milan, but with roots in the Marca Trevigiana, Maurizio Gabbana is self-taught. Passion has pushed him to a tireless photographic research, to realize his visions with artistic shots and to the darkroom.

Discovered by the art historian and Leonardo expert Rolando Bellini, Gabbana affirmed his futuristic research with “Dynamica Spazio Temporale”: scatti in macchina (digital), thanks to which he brought his glimpses, aboveall nocturnal and analogical, to a metaphysical dimension where, however, it seeks and finds the man drowsy in his nocturnal repose.

In addition to Professor Bellini, he has always sustained an ongoing academic dialogue with the art historian Del Guercio and artist Luce Delhove, while cultivating intense relationships with various artists and cultural figures, including journalists Roberto Borghi, Giandomenico Dimarzio, Eduardo Scotti, Roberto Mutti (also photography critic), with the critic and writer GianRuggero Manzoni and with the director of the photography museum of the Polytechnic of Bari, Professor Pio Meledandri.

Collective and personal exhibitions

In 2014 he exhibited at the international photographic exhibition MIA and won the first prize at the Adrenalina exhibition (Rome, Museo Macro). Participates in the group show “I Have a Dream” (Milan, Palazzo Reale) and in the Triennale of visual arts in Rome.

In 2015 he was invited to the Venice Biennale and participated at the EXPO in Milan in the collective DepurLab with the installation “Divine ingenuity”.

Member of the scientific committee Rise2Up in Cascina Triulza (Milan), in 2016 he reaffirmed himself at the Milan Photofestival with “The Motionless Building”.

In 2017 he began collaborating with Alinari and for the Lombardy Region he signed about thirty photographs in the volume “Lombardia four season for beauty”. The same year he took part in the Rome Triennale of visual arts with the work “Eternity” and organized solo shows at the MCFarm Gallery in Turin and at the WOPART in Lugano. At the end of the year, he published the monograph “With the Light in the Eyes”, in the SKIRA series of editions.
