TITLE: L’AIRONE (THE HERON)
Carlo Tirone’s artistic journey began in Turin, at painter Attilio Corsetti’s studio. In Albisola, Tirone encountered the world of ceramics through artists Lino Berzoini, De Salvo, Raimondi, and other masters from the 50′s and 60′s. He became involved with environmental issues and in the early 80′s he held a few exhibitions at Sant’Andrea Art Gallery, in Savona. He has been lately collaborating with Ceramiche San Giorgio ceramic workshop, where he has created a number of works clearly inspired by Impressionism and by landscape, particularly the Ligurian inland.
