Dino Consalvo grew up in Newcastle and started exhibiting as a teenager, he studied Fine Art at Alexander Mackie College in Sydney during the mid-1970s and completed a Diploma of Fine Art at Caulfield Institute of Technology, Melbourne in 1981. He continued to live in Melbourne for the next 30 years.
In 2012, he returned to Newcastle to paint full-time. Since then he has been included in the Salon des Refuses - NSW Parliament Plein Air Painting Prize (2014), he was a finalist in the Gosford Prize and Mosman Art Prize (2015) and a Finalist in the Gosford Art Prize, Newcastle Club Painting Prize and Paddington Art Prize (2017). His work is held in Artbank AU and private collections in Australia and USA.
His landscape works start 'en plein air' in oil paint, sometimes he resolves the work completely on site othertimes bringing the work back into the studio, to decontruct the scene and repaint. With portrait painting, Consalvo works completely from life and will complete a portrait after several sittings.
Dino Consalvo's first exhibition as a Gallery 139 Artist was Merewether:a Tranisition in 2016. He has since exhibited with Gallery 139 at The Depot Gallery and The University of Newcastle Gallery. In 2017 he exhibitied in Sydney at Janet Clayton Gallery and in the group exhibition THE PHANTOM SHOW curated by Peter Kingston and Dietmar Lederwasch at Newcastle Art Gallery.
In 2018 Dino continued to exhibit in Sydney solo at Duckrabbit and Redfern; Sheffer Gallery, Darlington and in the group gallery exhibition at ARO Gallery, Darlinghurst.
In November 2018, Dino exhibited The Lady in the Boat in Sydney and at Gallery 139.
His second exhibition at Duckrabbit, Sydney in 2019 included ceramics and ‘en plein air’ paintings from Merewether Beach, ON THE BEACH.
