DARIO FO
Dancing with Colours, Whipping with Words
Exhibition

Dario Fo’s work as a visual artist is little known outside italy, but it was art not theatre that he studied in his youth. His first paintings date from the 1940s, and he has worked in many styles, producing portraits, landscapes, fantasy works, politically committed works for today and others inspired by Italy's great masters or by mythology. Fo’s visual art shares many of the qualities of his writing – exuberance, radicalism and anger combined with a love of storytelling and a deep awareness of history. This is the first UK exhibition.

Work is being exhibited at The Lyceum, the Scottish Storytelling Centre and the Italian Cultural Institute.
