Italian painter Giuseppe Beddru has distinguished himself in contributing conceptual insight to the course of contemporary art by embracing experimentation with non-traditional materials, such as thick superposed Plexiglas panels. Many of Beddru’s multi-media paintings include the visual motifs of classical Greek bas-relief sculpture flattened within the confines of Plexiglas. His works are suggestive in nature, rather than descriptive, and include transformative interpretations of the natural environment.
Reminiscent of the Fauvist movement and Italian classicism, Beddru’s bold outlines, dynamic brushstrokes, and contrasting use of color make his work visually exciting. His work is extremely personal as well, drawing upon the Arab presence on the island where he grew up and his own Italian heritage. His paintings are indicative of self-discovery and emotional awareness, while also focusing on color, composition, and technical skill.
Beddru’s work is exhibited internationally on a regular basis in venues spanning from highly ranked art fairs to museums in both solo and group exhibitions. His artwork is part of international private collections such as the collection of the Saudi Royal Family and businessman Graeme Hart in New Zealand.
Giuseppe Beddru, the Italian artist, embarked on a creative journey that took him beyond the borders of Italy, where he had initially admired and studied the works of great masters. His artistic endeavors are characterized by a unique blend of athletes and female portraits in profile, evoking imagery reminiscent of ancient coins and classical depictions. Beddru's distinctive mixed media paintings often feature visual elements inspired by classical Greek bas-relief sculpture, thoughtfully integrated within the confines of Plexiglas. His formative years as an artist were spent in Agrigento, Sicily, a place where he absorbed the rich influences of classical Greek art. In the contemporary art scene, Giuseppe Beddru stands out for his innovative use of non-traditional materials, particularly his skillful layering of Plexiglas panels, offering a truly unique and boundary-pushing artistic perspective.
His figurative pictorial subjects are represented through ink-based mixed media applied via reverse painting techniques inspired by Italian painters from the seventeenth century. By developing variations of this technique, Beddru focuses on the use of vivid pigments to create striking vibrancy. The eye of the observer is simultaneously caught by both a fascinating chromatic balance and the mystery of enigmatic figures who, from the depths of a mythological past, bring secretive symbols to our contemporary present as messages to decipher.

The artist represents those who are considered “different” and those who are rejected because of prejudice or ignorance. Popular imagery within the context of Greek history is overturned by atypical characters that populate his artistic world and speak up loudly to make their voices heard.
