Sergio Lombardo (Rome, 1 December 1939) is an Italian artist known for his role in Typical Gestures series and the creation of Supercomponibili.
He began his artistic journey at a very young age, specifically at the end of the 1950s; creating his first monochrome works, pieces of paper glued on canvas and painted with enamel layers.
He made his debut in a group exhibition in 1958 at the Premio Cinecittà in Rome, where he met Francesco Lo Savio, Mario Schifano, Renato Mambor, Cesare Tacchi, and Tano Festa.
[1] In 1961, Lombardo began creating the Typical Gestures series, initially painting in black and white and later in color, in a size larger than real life, some of the most important political figures of the time, highlighting their emblematic and evocative characteristics.
[4] From the mid-sixties, he created the Supercomponibili series, which in 1968 he presented at the La Salita[5] gallery in Rome and at the Salone Annunciata in Milan.
