Gabriele Devecchi (Milan, 1938-2011) was an artist, designer, architect, goldsmith and teacher.
His artisan family and the attendance of the art school of Brera are key elements of his education. Thanks to his father, a sculptor and an engraver who experienced the Futurism before the war and industrial design in the post war period, Devecchi was introduced to the art world at a juvenile age.
After the end of the high school, he started working at this father’s silver workshop. In 1959 he founded Gruppo T with Giovanni Anceschi, Gianni Colombo and Davide Boriani. He began producing kinetic and programmed artworks, interactive environments, multiples, interventions at the urban scale.
