In the late 1970s, Chia became part of an art movement knows as the <br /> Transvarguardia, along with other Italian artists of his generation such as Francesco Clemente, Enzo <br /> Cucchi, Nicola de Maria and Mimmo Paladino.Together they rejected Conceptualism and returned to <br /> figurative art and symbolism injecting their works with color, emotion, and movement.The Goddess at <br /> The Residences by Armani Casa is a larger than life heroic figure in bronze.While somewhat abstracted, <br /> the figure still remains a major subject for Chia,whose work is deeply rooted in Italian tradition. Sandro <br /> Chia has exhibited extensively, has had solo exhibitions in major museums such as the Metropolitan <br /> Museum of Art in New York and has been included in major exhibitions such as the biennials of Paris, <br /> Sao Paulo and Venice. In addition, his work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern <br /> Art in New York,The Art Institute of Chicago,The Tate Gallery in London,the Tel Aviv Museum of Art as <br /> well as in numerous private collections throughout the world. <br />
