After having spent all his youth studying painting treatises from antiquity to today and having visited several times the most important museums around the world, to study the great Masters live, he began a surprising, fast and happy career at a young age.
Noted by important art critics and historians such as Vittorio Sgarbi, by famous international artists such as Oliviero Toscani and by cultured and powerful patrons such as Emmanuele Emanuele, he created his first solo exhibition in Milan at the well-known Modern and Contemporary Art Gallery Il Mappamondo. Receives the Rome Foundation Special Prize, exhibits at the Venice Biennale and immediately afterwards creates a personal exhibition at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome: at the age of 32 he has the honor of becoming the youngest artist ever and inaugurating a solo exhibition in the prestigious Roman headquarters.
It continues with international exhibitions, with a solo exhibition in Dubai at the Artissima Art Gallery, and then in New York and in 13 cities in China.
For many years he has curated exhibition projects throughout Italy, regularly holds conferences, shows and Lectio Magistralis on art, as well as drawing and painting courses for the development of the right brain.
In 2019 he founded the MUDIC Museum - Museo Diffuso Contemporaneo in Matera, of which he is also the curator.
His works have been exhibited in the following museums and public institutions:
at the Pratt Institute in New York, in Museums, Universities and Cultural Spaces in 13 cities of China, in Dubai, at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, at the Venice Biennale and at the Cini Foundation in Venice, at the Expo, at the Permanente Museum and the PAC - Pavilion of Contemporary Art in Milan, the Palazzo Reale and the Sandretto Foundation in Turin, the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto, the Palazzo della Ragione in Mantua, the Palazzo Lanfranchi Museum and the Museum of Madness in Matera, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Lissone, at the Central Montemartini Museum in Rome, at the Mafia Museum in Salemi, at the MUMI - Michetti Museum in Francavilla al Mare.
“In his journey Centonze did something very similar to Dante: a journey through Hell to get to Paradise”.
“Monet had done the water lily cycle and, past times, Centonze made the waste sheds. The subjects change but the same vital energy of painting remains”.
“Few painters of our time have, more than Mimmo Centonze, a sense of the vastness of space”.
“I am a convinced admirer of him. I consider him one of the potentially brightest artists of the new generation”.
“He is the Rembrandt of factories, he is the Rembrandt of industrial entrepreneurship, he is a Rembrandt regardless of the rest”.
“Mimmo Centonze is an artist who is no longer a promise but, in a very short time, has become a reality in the ever-boiling universe of contemporary art”.
“The portrait of Totò Riina by the artist is remarkable”.
“Mimmo Centonze's art exudes sin, decadence, lust, intolerance, blasphemous religiosity, sex and beauty. What could be better for modern art?”.
