Simone Pellegrini

Simone Pellegrini serves as Professor in the Department of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna (ABABO), teaching Painting I, II, and III courses across all three academic years. These characterizing courses (12 CFA each) integrate laboratory practice with theoretical exploration of 'creation' through interdisciplinary texts spanning philosophy, anthropology, and literary criticism.

His research centers on phenomenological approaches to artistic creation, drawing extensively from continental philosophy and critical theory. Key interests include:

• Artistic phenomenology through thinkers like Agamben and Deleuze
• Intersections of painting practice with existential philosophy
• Critical analysis of creativity using Bataille, Derrida, and Ricoeur
• Poetic and anthropological dimensions of visual art

He emphasizes passion, operational efficiency, and deep presence in student engagement.

Professor Pellegrini maintains Wednesday office hours (10:00-12:00) both online and in Room C1 117, requiring students to engage with two personalized texts annually alongside core materials to foster authentic generative processes in their practice.
