Ennio Tamburi was born in Jesi on September 9, 1936. He has lived and worked between Rome and Zurich. It was in Rome that he began his activity in the 1950s, often staying in Paris, approaching the Informal movement because he felt the urgency to respond to the existential malaise characteristic of those years. Painting became for Tamburi the most appropriate means of expressing the pain of living caused by the destruction and lacerations of the postwar period. During these years he received numerous awards such as the Premio Arezzo, the Maggio di Bari, the Premio Prato, the Premio Incontri d'Arte in Bologna and the Quadriennale in Rome. Around the 1960s he began to take an interest in conceptual art, focusing his research on the object and sculpture, using mainly sulfated sheet metal and neon to express, through silhouettes, the physical and psychological condition of modern man, dominated by a sense of incommunicability. Also belonging to this period are works such as Defoiled Trees, Couple, Puzzle Man and The A and the 2, all made in the 1960s. Also part of the work are Cesure: photographs taken in Rome, whose main subjects are a kind of "architectural clusters," as the artist calls them, which serve to support insecure and not particularly stable structures. Through them, Tamburi seems to want to affirm the principle of union, of something "solid" that would allow him to combat the sense of precariousness and loneliness typical of the "human condition." Many of these works have been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions such as: Contemporanea, Rome 1972; Galleria il Punto, Turin 1973; Festival Dei Due Mondi, Spoleto 1974; Volterra - Interventi nella Città 1974; Biennale di Venezia, Palazzo dei Diamanti, Ferrara 1975; Galleria Due Mondi, Rome 1976; Galleria d'Arte Moderna, Arezzo 1976; Galleria La Tartaruga, Rome 1977; Kunsthalle, Kôln and Düsseldorf 1977, Galleria 2000 - Bologna 1978. For a brief period he alternated his studies and artistic research with the activity of graphic designer for well-known magazines, where his drawing talent found another possibility of expression. The 1980s marked a definitive turning point for Tamburi, both in poetics and in the techniques used. After deep reflection on the meaning and value of his research, he moved to Switzerland and discovered concrete art, gradually abandoning the line followed up to that point and taking on a more neutral and objective look at reality. During a trip to Asia, he discovered precious handmade papers from Tibet, Nepal, China, India and Japan, each characterized by a particular texture and consistency. This discovery led him to undertake numerous trips to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. Crucially, he traveled to Japan and Burma, places where he deepened his study of papermaking techniques. Paper thus proved to be an "antidote" to traditional materials.
