Mimmo Paladino (born 1948) is an Italian Transavantgarde sculptor, painter, and muralist. He attended the Liceo Artistico of Benevento. Paladino played a central role in developing the Transavantgarde movement, which sought to bring emotion, figuration, and mysticism back into avant-garde art.
By the 1980s, he was a principal figure of the Transavantgarde movement, and his contemporaries include artists Sandro Chia and Francesco Clemente. Paladino’s work is influenced by the human condition and executed in a variety of mediums including painting, drawings, ceramics, stonework, and prints.
Paladino was showcased at the 1980 Venice Biennale for its Transavantgarde-specific exhibition. He has shown work worldwide, including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. and the Tate Modern in London.
