Gianfranco Gentile se je rodil v Veroni v Italiji. V Firencah je diplomiral iz arhitekture in se ukvarjal z eksperimentalno glasbo in elektroakustično improvizacijo ter sodeloval na sodobnih glasbenih dogodkih v Italiji in tujini ter v performansih umetniškega gibanja Fluxus. Sredi devetdesetih let prejšnjega stoletja je začel pot v slikarstvo, ki ga je pripeljala do današnjih dni. Gentile že nekaj let z uporabo recikliranega embalažnega kartona in slikanjem v tehniki pastela predlaga operacijo spomina, industrijsko arheologijo, ki estetsko razmišlja o človeški iznajdbi in njenem minevanju.

Gianfranco Gentile was born in Verona, Italy. In Florence, he graduated in Architecture and worked on experimental music and electroacoustic improvisation, participating in contemporary music events both in Italy and abroad and in performances of the Fluxus art movement. In the mid-1990s, he began the journey into painting that brings him to the present day. For some years now, through the use of recycled packaging cardboard and painted with pastel technique, Gentile has been proposing an operation of memory, an industrial archaeology that aesthetically reflects on human invention and its passing.
