"Paolo Carosone's images are his autobiography. They are made up of spontaneous associations, fusing actual recollections with suggestions of dreams and memories. Physical facts and spiritual experiences fusing into a new engraved presence created by the artist to deal with his own world which exists on the borderline between reality and illusion." 1941 Paolo Livio Loris Carosone was born in Rome on 8 January. 1i74: He goes to Canada for an exhibition of his work at the Allen Gallery in Vancouver.
