Lives and works in Milan.
Fabio Marullo lives and works in Milan. After graduating in Architecture, History and Conservation of Cultural Heritage from the Faculty of Architecture of IUSA in Reggio Calabria, he was awarded a scholarship to pursue a Master’s degree in Design and Production of Visual Arts at IUAV University of Venice.
His multidisciplinary practice is grounded in artistic and scientific research, developed through collaborations with professionals from different fields of knowledge. Marullo’s work encompasses painting, sculpture, installation, and drawing, investigating processes of transformation in reality, with particular attention to the relationship between the concepts of form and event.
He has undertaken research residencies at CPH AIR – Copenhagen International Visiting Artist in Copenhagen (2015), VIR Viafarini-in-residence in Milan (2013), and Red Gate Residency in Beijing (2012). A significant part of his recent research has emerged from direct engagement with scientific contexts. Between 2021 and 2022, he participated in glaciological field expeditions organized by the University of Milan, initiating the Alpina project. Between 2023 and 2024, he collaborated with the Department of Life Sciences and Systems Biology at the University of Turin within the Sublimità Parassitarie project. He is currently involved in the development of the solo exhibition Estremi non opposti, the result of a collaboration between the artist and the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences (DIVAS) in Lodi.
An artist active nationally and internationally, Marullo received the Copenhagen International Visiting Artist (CPH AIR) Grant in 2015 and, between 2002 and 2004, was awarded scholarships in Design and Production of Visual Arts at IUAV University of Venice.
His work has been presented in numerous solo exhibitions, including Sublimità Parassitarie (2024) at the Botanical Garden of Turin, in collaboration with the University of Turin; Equorea (2023) at Building Box Gallery in Milan; and Orbite (2016) at the 15th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. His work has also been exhibited in Milan, Catania, Copenhagen, and Breda.
He has participated in major group exhibitions at institutions and venues including Triennale Milano, MAXXI in Rome, Palazzo Serbelloni, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Lissone, and ArtVerona, as well as numerous art centers in Italy and abroad, including Berlin, Copenhagen, and Breda.
His residency experience includes CPH AIR in Copenhagen (2015), Viafarini in Milan (2013), and Red Gate Residency in Beijing (2012), reflecting an artistic practice developed through dialogue with diverse cultural and geographical contexts.
He has also been a visiting lecturer at IUAV University of Venice, IED in Milan, NABA in Milan, and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.
