Paladino is one of the main exponents of the trans-avant-garde, a movement founded by Achille Bonito Oliva in 1980, characterized by a return to painting after the various conceptual and minimalist currents that developed in the seventies. His works are permanently exhibited in some of the major international museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Tate and the Royal Academy in London, the Museum of Modern Irish Art in Dublin, the MACBA in Barcelona, the Kiasma in Helsinki, the Palazzo delle Arti in Naples and the MOCA in Shanghai. Lately there has been a show in Lima at the Luis Miró Quesasa Garland Gallery with 28 of his works.
