Alessio Mazzarulli - Adults should love - 04 (n.658)

Artwork no.658 Dimensions: 65.00 x 85.00 (cm) 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. In my latest works I have focused on the theme of women treated as objects (dolls) and too often victims of violence, and these are the latest pieces I have realized. This work is the first produced for the series "Adults should love". The piece has a very strong visual and emotional impact. The title "adults should love" sounds almost like a critique of what is often missing in more mature relational dynamics. The expression of the woman at the center of the composition conveys a sense of vulnerability, abandonment, capturing a moment of intense emotional rawness. The material technique amplifies this message: the use of recycled paper reduced to fragments, combined with acrylics, creates a mosaic of experiences where every small piece of paper represents a fragment of life, a memory or a scar that forms the adult identity. By placing this work in the thread of giving voice to women and raising awareness against abuse, the title takes on an even more powerful connotation. "Adults should love", adults should love becomes a manifesto against toxicity: it reminds us that true adult love should be based on care, respect and genuine affection, moving away from dynamics of domination or violence. The face emerging from this chaotic and fragmented texture seems to claim that right to healthy love. It is a work of great conceptual depth. *** This work is unique and original. Each piece is securely packaged, wrapped and protected for worldwide shipping, with an Authentication Certificate included. I use the courier provided directly by Catawiki and a tracking number will be supplied. This work will be shipped without a frame or stretcher as it will be rolled. The canvas is larger than the painted dimensions because the greater surface is useful and necessary to stretch the canvas on a frame. It is advisable to have the work stretched and mounted by a trusted professional who can also advise on a suitable frame if desired. The images showing the work in interior settings are for illustration only and the proportions may appear different. The actual dimensions are those indicated in the description. Different light sources can give different colors to the photos. For more photos and information, contact me!

Since December 2014 I returned with the "two dimensions" for lack of time and space, neglecting sculpture and dedicating myself to acrylic paintings. I love painting abstract landscapes but recently I have been pushing myself to paint faces of people both imaginary and real. For me painting is "freezing time" in that exact moment; a painting of mine is often a faded memory and therefore my works are "worn, eroded by time". Sometimes my paintings depict 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 beautiful experience with clay manipulation, I love sculpture, the third dimension, the sense of touch and my paintings are often characterized by reliefs perceptible to the touch as well as to the naked eye. In this recent period, after several years during which my works were made from scraps of recycled paper forming figures, I am pushing myself to explore Optical Art where I use painted wooden discs arranged in lines and repeated grids with mathematical rigor that, when viewed up close, seem to form an abstract colorful picture but the more you move away the more a portrait emerges from the 768 painted wooden discs. Violence against women is a theme that characterizes almost all of my works when I reproduce the faces of women, 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. *** Below are the recent shows: Solo: 2017 Solo exhibition / Maison des Arts - Pescara, Italy Group exhibitions: Naarden The Art Fair / Amsterdam - Naarden, Netherlands 2026 Affordable Art Fair Amsterdam / De Kromhouthal, Gedempt Hamerkanaal 231, 1021 KP Amsterdam, Netherlands - Amsterdam, Netherlands 2025 X Edition of MumArt “Omaggio a Costantino Barbella” / Michetti Museum - Francavilla al mare, Italy 2020 Andy Warhol And Friends / Art Events Mazzoleni Art Gallery - Alzano Lombardo (BG), Italy 2019 "Liberty in the Visual Arts – Second Edition" / Mumi - Michetti Museum - Francavilla Al Mare (CH), Italy 2019 Internationale Art Price - Tamara De Lempika / Milano Art Gallery - Milan, Italy 2018 Archipelago #2 / Sveva Gallery - Stockholm, Sweden 2018 Dialogue Between Generations / Castel dell'Ovo - Naples, Italy 2018 The Magical Shades of Time / Aurum Arts - Pescara, Italy 2017 In obstinate and contrary direction / Simultánea Spazi Arte - Florence, Italy 2017 World Wide Art Show – New York 2017 / 508/526 West 26th Street, Suite 315, New York, NY 10001 - New York, USA 2017 Liberty in the Visual Arts / Michetti Museum - Francavilla Al Mare, Italy 2016 Introspective Shades / Arte Borgo Gallery - Rome, Italy 2016 Caput Mundi Art / Palazzo Ferrajoli - Rome, Italy 2016 Art Salerno 2016 / Palazzo Fruscione - Salerno, Italy 2016 Art Rome / Flyer Art Gallery - Rome, Italy 2016 Weaving from the Artist / Merlino Bottega d'Arte Gallery - Florence, Italy 2015
