Giorgio Zeno Graf
CV

works with sculpture, printmaking and installation using recycled materials and everyday objects. His research focuses on disused materials, exploring their ecological, historical and symbolic connections. Through a process that intertwines materiality, gesture and context, he develops new collective narratives linked to themes such as consumption, urban occupation and transformation.

He won the First Prize in “Le stanze dell'arte – Premio giovani artisti Genesi creativa” at the M.A.X. Museo di Chiasso (2020), and has exhibited in group exhibitions at Cabaret Voltaire (Zurich), Istituto Svizzero, Rome (2023), Bissone Arte 22 (2022), Spazio Fervida, Lugano (2024), and Castelgrande, Bellinzona (2025).

ALFALFA (MEDICAGO SATIVA)
2021



2021
Egg tempera and oil paint on canvas, fir wood frame, small pockets with Medicago Sativa seeds.
Installation view: Fineally – Allmendstrasse 95, Zurich.

Alfalfa (Medicago Sativa) goes metres deep with its roots, in order to stir, shake and wake up time-hardened soils. It is food for the body and the mind, also capable of restoring nitrogen to our soil. Once cutted its roots will keep the soil permeable for what is to come.

Seeds (in bags) are something that always has potential, as something always possible that remains somehow unrealisable.
