Alessio Mazzarulli - Adopt me, please! - 02 (n.749)

Adopt me, please! - 02 (n.749) The measurements are: - collage: 50.00 x 40.00 cm Acrylic painting on shredded paper on canvas I create paintings using acrylic colors and thousands of small pieces of recycled paper: everyday paper becomes art instead of ending up in the trash. Adopt me, please! - Adopt me, please! This work draws inspiration from the issue of dog abandonment. It is a call to adopt the dogs that fill the kennels. Loving and respecting animals is loving and respecting nature, it is loving and respecting ourselves. *** The surface features small reliefs and I like to caress it, feel it... I also use acrylic resin on the surface, which gives a glossy finish and protects the colors from sunlight and dust. This work is unique and original. Each work is securely packaged, wrapped and protected for worldwide shipping, with a Certificate of Authenticity included. I use the courier provided directly by Catawiki. A tracking number will be provided for the shipment. This work will be shipped without a frame and without a stretcher as the piece will be shipped rolled. The canvas is larger than the painted dimensions because the greater surface area will be useful and necessary to be able to stretch the canvas on a frame. It is recommended to have the work stretched and mounted by a trusted professional who can also advise on a suitable frame if needed. Images showing the work in interior settings are for illustrative purposes only and proportions may appear different. The actual dimensions are those indicated in the description. Different light sources can give different colors in the photos. For more photos and information, contact me! Thank you. *** IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS (NON-EU): Customs duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item's price nor in the shipping costs.

After an initial period devoted to sculpture there was a long stop of almost twenty years. Since December 2014 I resumed with the "two dimensions" for time and space reasons, leaving sculpture behind and dedicating myself to acrylic paintings. I love painting abstract landscapes but more recently I am pushing myself to paint faces of people, both imaginary and real. For me painting is about "freezing time" in that exact moment; a painting of mine is often a faded memory and therefore my works are "consumed, eroded by time". Sometimes the subjects of my paintings are glimpses of walls also eroded by time, with moss and mushrooms that—over time—grow on the surface. Time that passes inexorably is the main theme of my works. Coming from a wonderful experience with clay manipulation, I love sculpture, the third dimension, the sense of touch and my paintings are often characterized by reliefs that are highly perceptible both to touch and to the naked eye. In this latest period, after several years in which my works were made from pieces of recycled paper forming figures, I am pushing myself to explore Optical Art where I use painted wooden disks arranged in lines and grids with mathematical rigor that, when viewed up close, seem to form an abstract, colorful painting but the farther you move away, the more a figure portrait made of many painted wooden disks emerges. Violence against women is a theme that characterizes almost all of my works when I reproduce female faces, precisely to give them a voice when they do not have the strength or courage to report that they are not their partner's dolls and cannot be mistreated or worse, victims of violence.
