PEOPLE
I focus on people near my studio engaged in daily activities in order to investigate formal aesthetic practices such as composition.
By Jonathan Green PHD, writing for the Culver Center for the Arts, UC Riverside, about screening my moviettes:
“The quirky and provocative artist Gianni Trieste — well known for his critical and socially themed paintings and sculptures—has been quietly making short films that he calls moviettes. These alternately politically biting and lyrically beautiful short pieces will now be presented for the first time as an extended meditation on the city itself. A flâneur with a camera, Trieste haunts on the downtown's streets finding splendor and oddity, even encouraging Police Chief Sergio Diaz to suggest a conceptual art installation: Tiny Tents on the Mall. If you love our city but want an unorthodox view, this is not to be missed."
