Il disordine ordinato del colore
L’astrattismo, rivoluzione contemporanea,
mi rapisce per la sua spontaneità e semplicità,
traducendo in istintuale ed anarchico
l’approccio alla tela.
Passione, curiosità e misticismo energetico
del colore, proprie origini della ricerca artistica,
mi conducono verso figure, che attraverso
la contemporaneità dei mezzi multimediali,
sintetizza manualmente sogni.
Entropia in grado di misurare il disordine
di un sistema, la fantasia, così ampio
come l’infinitità del sistema solare.
Collegati in modo perenne a quest’ordine del disordine, rende l’opera inattaccabile legge reale,
quale spontaneità del segno.

Andrea Sampaolo
Andrea was born in Rome, on March 27th 1966.
He graduated in Art in 1983 and ran his career as
painter since 1989. However, his keen interest
in visual installations and performances as well as
in media and design rose up very soon.
Although his research is much concerned with
experimental painting, Sampaolo’s vocation
to eclecticism has enabled him to challenge
the changes throughout the years.
He got close to the Underground musical movement in Rome and Italian jazz. Between 1989-93, he
thus performed live music and painting in Rome at
the Ulisse and A.C.E.A T. theatres as well as at the
Palombara Castle, Sabina.
More recently, he has performed music and painting with sax player and composer Javier Girotto.
In 1998, he took a diploma in Graphic Design. In the
following years, he produced advertising videos and
short films (in 2004 he directed a cartoon).
In 2000, he created his own art gallery in Rome
and launched his own creative media company. He
collaborated with prestigious brands and fashion
houses as a designer. It is particularly worth mentioning his design projects to Nokia mobile’s covers
(1999), Slamp’s special edition of lamps (2001), and
background scenes commissioned by Ferrone’s
top-fashion house.
He also drew on his work patterns to design fashion shoes (2010) and bags. In 2003, he organised
Benetton’s live show-room where he also performed as an artist.

Sadie Clayton
Sadie Clayton is a luxury sculptural womenswear label
representing a unique aesthetic in the British fashion
scene. The designer’s architectural
approach sees avant-garde shapes, manipulating
industrial materials and silhouettes to fit the female
form. The designer’s signature fabric - and the stone
that brings good luck - copper, is prevalent within her
collections as is copper sheeting, which has been hammered and heated for a progressive finish. Sadie also
has a personal spirituality which she draws on coming
from the metaphysical properties of stones, and physiognomy. Themes which have been translated into her
garments through their voluminous shapes, or constraints and twisted proportions. The fabrics replicate
the texture and composition of the crystals.
The eponymous line was launched in 2014 after graduating from Kingston University in 2013 and exhibiting
at Graduate Fashion Week, Clayton has gone on to
show on the catwalks of London and Berlin and showcasing her ss16 collection at London Fashion Week at
the Royal Academy of the Arts. Sadie’s upcoming aw 16
collection will be presented at the Cafe Royal London.
Sadie has demonstrated the art of working with
copper metals as a part of the Nick Waplington /
Alexander McQueen: Working Process exhibition at
the Tate Britain, led a workshop at the Tate Modern
and was one of 15 designers chosen from across
the world to show at the Artisanal Intelligence exhibition part of AltaRoma.
Sadie Clayton has been worn by the likes of Skin,
Fleur East, Ellie Goulding, Caryn Franklin and has
featured in Vogue, Vogue Italia, Elle Italia, Grazia, i-D,
Wonderland, Noctis, Schön!, 1883, and more. The
