Biography

Part shaman and part showman, and, in a way, completely both, Piero Golia’s work addresses issues of identity and the role of the artist through the powerful tools of humour and irony.  Although Golia calls himself a ‘small artist’ – referring to his physical size, his self-deprecation stands in stark contrast to the at times Herculean endeavours the artist pursues in order to make something of a legend of himself.
