Born under the sign of Lion in Venezia, Antonio Riello is one of Italy’s most eclectic and controversial artists, working in techniques as varied as sculpture, design, photography, installation and video games. Incorporating the ironic manner of a conceptual charade, Riello manipulates and almost mistreats the images and objects which he invents. A controlled degree of ambiguity is the typical signature of his artistic research.

He has exhibited his work in several museums and institutions including:

BALTIC (Gateshead UK); nGbK (Berlin D); Kunstverein Neuhausen (Neuhausen D); MART (Rovereto I); MAMC (Saint Étienne F); Kunsthalle Wien (Vienna A); Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro (Milano I); Palazzo delle Papesse (Siena I); Neue Galerie (Graz A); Kunstverein Wolfsburg (Wolfsburg D); Centro Pecci (Prato I); Kunstverein Freiburg (Freiburg D); Kunsthalle zu Kiel (Kiel D); Chelsea Art Museum (New York USA); Elgiz Museum (Istanbul TR); GAM (Torino I); Museum of Arts and Design (New York USA); mudac (Lausanne CH); Museo Civico di Bassano (Bassano I); Musée Ariana (Genève CH), Museum Der Welt (Berlin D); Dordrechts Museum (Dordrecht NL); Glastress, Fondazione Berengo (Venezia, I).
