About
Short biography
Born in Sicily in 1980, Angelo Alessandrini studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Catania. His artistic research develops mainly through painting and sculpture, exploring form, matter, and personal expression.
Artist statement
My artistic research stems from a reflection on the relationship between the individual, contemporaneity, and the need for meaning. It begins with the idea that human beings live immersed in a real-surreal context: a world that has not moved away from reality, but that, when observed in depth, reveals its hidden absurdity. I do not construct parallel universes: I slightly deform what already exists, until a crack begins to emerge.
It is through that crack that the work invites the viewer to look beyond the surface of the image, reaching the point where reality reveals its own fragilities and contradictions.
