Chia, Sandro
Chia, Sandro (1946– ). Italian painter, born in Florence, where he studied at the Academy. In the early 1970s he experimented with Conceptual and Performance art, but he returned to painting in 1975 and by the end of the decade he had adopted the style with which he has become one of the best-known Italian painters of his generation, characteristically featuring muscle-bound figures in pseudo-heroic situations parodying the Old Masters (Courageous Boys at Work, NG of Modern Art, Edinburgh, 1981). Robert Hughes describes his figures as ‘ladylike coal-heavers expelling wind while floating in postures vaguely derived from classical statuary'. Chia has also made sculpture in a similar vein.
