Giuseppe Lo Schiavo (also known as GLOS) is an Italian-born visual artist and researcher currently based between Milan and London. His work explores the intersection of art, science, and technology, utilizing mediums such as photography, video, installation, artificial intelligence, and synthetic biology.
Lo Schiavo introduced the concept of 'synthetic photography' in 2022, a computer-based approach to image creation that transcends traditional camera methods. His artistic practice delves into themes like evolutionary biology, transhumanism, and ecocentrism, often drawing inspiration from ancient art and culture.
He has been recognized for his innovative contributions to contemporary art, winning the 2024 Premio Cairo, Italy's most prestigious award for emerging artists. In 2021, he was the first winner of the European BioArt Challenge organized by the MUSE Science Museum in Italy.
Lo Schiavo's work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Saatchi Gallery in London, Aperture Foundation in New York, Museo Marca in Catanzaro, Istanbul Contemporary, and the Abay Opera House in Kazakhstan. In 2024, his solo exhibition 'Windowscapes' was showcased at the Danziger Gallery in New York, and he presented new works at the Park Avenue Armory in April 2025.
His artworks are part of several prestigious collections, including the Voorlinden Museum in the Netherlands, the Bulgari Foundation, the Museum of Science of Trento in Italy, and the National Gallery of Cosenza.
Through his multidisciplinary approach, Lo Schiavo continues to challenge and expand the boundaries of contemporary art, creating works that are both conceptually profound and visually captivating.
