Andrea Nisbet (b. Torre Pellice, 1960) trained through the study of restoration at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, an experience that refined his sensitivity to the stratification of time and the memory of materials. Since the late 1980s, he has developed a rigorous artistic path which, from an initial focus on painting—dedicated to ossuaries, industrial archaeology, and disused architecture—has evolved into a multimedia practice including video, sculpture, and environmental installations.

His poetics are grounded in the representation of deserted spaces, devoid of human figures yet marked by their presence through traces of abandonment and transformation. His significant body of work asserts the autonomy of art from established conventions, moving within a subtle balance between the independence of the mark and its inseparable connection to the real horizon.

Among his main exhibitions are solo shows at Palazzo Vittone (1991) and Studio d’Arte Andromeda in Trento (1994), as well as international exhibitions such as Le Polaris in Lyon (1997) and The Rendering in Berlin (2003). In recent years, he has realized site-specific and institutional projects, including Fare luce at Museo Casa Cavassa in Saluzzo (2021), the intervention Et pro con at Nuvola Lavazza (2021), and the exhibitions in Turin at Galleria Biasutti & Biasutti, D’Intorno and Echi (2022–2024).
