Giuseppe Lo Schiavo

Giuseppe Lo Schiavo, also known as GLOS, is an Italian visual artist and researcher based between Milan and London. He works across photography, video, sculpture, installation, artificial intelligence and synthetic biology, on the ground where art meets science. In 2022 he introduced the idea of synthetic photography, a computer based approach to image making that does away with the camera. His work turns on evolutionary biology, transhumanism and ecocentrism, and often takes ancient art and culture as its starting point.

In 2024 he won the Premio Cairo, Italy's leading award for emerging artists, and in 2021 he was the first winner of the European BioArt Challenge organised by the MUSE science museum in Trento. His work has been shown at the Saatchi Gallery in London, the Aperture Foundation in New York, Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Museo MARCA in Catanzaro, Contemporary Istanbul and the Abay Opera House in Kazakhstan. His solo exhibition Windowscapes opened at Danziger Gallery, New York, in 2024, and he presented new work at the Park Avenue Armory in April 2025. His work is held in the collections of the Voorlinden Museum in the Netherlands, the Bulgari Foundation, the MUSE science museum in Trento and the National Gallery of Cosenza.

Lo Schiavo has worked with Plan X since 2025, when the gallery presented his work at Art Dubai and in the group exhibition L'aria aveva una forma in Capri, followed by Dreaming in Daylight in 2026. That year the gallery also installed his sculpture Delphis, previously shown at Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, at Belvedere di Tragara in Capri.
