Alessio Mazzarulli - How should we do? (n.648) - Dolls series

Artwork n.648 Dimensions: 85,00 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. "Not your doll" - "Not my doll" is a series where I intend to depict the faces of women with features reminiscent of classic dolls and the message is: "even if I look like a true doll, I am not a doll, your doll, and you can do whatever you want to me" with everything that lies behind it, which unfortunately leads to violence. *** This work is unique and original. Each work is securely packaged, wrapped and protected for worldwide shipping, with an Authenticity Certificate included. A tracking number for the shipment is provided. This work will be shipped without a frame and without a stretch because the piece will be shipped rolled. The canvas is larger in size than the painted dimensions because the greater surface will be useful and necessary 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 you on a possible and adequate frame. Images showing the work in indoor environments 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 to 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 price or shipping costs.

After an initial period dedicated to sculpture there was a long pause of almost twenty years. Since December 2014 I resumed with the "two dimensions" for reasons of time and space, giving up 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 to "freeze 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 street views of walls also eroded by time, with moss and mushrooms that – over time – grow on the surface. The passage of time 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 clearly perceptible by touch as well as to the naked eye. In this recent period, after several years during which my works were made from little bits 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 which, viewed up close, seem to form a colored abstract painting but the farther you go the more a portrait emerges from the 768 painted wooden discs. Violence against women is a theme that characterizes almost all my works when I reproduce women’s 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. *** Below are the recent exhibitions: Solo shows: 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 “Homage to Costantino Barbella” / Museo Michetti - Francavilla al Mare, Italy 2020 Andy Warhol And Friends / Galleria D'arte Art Events Mazzoleni - Alzano Lombardo (BG), Italy 2019 “Liberty in the Visual Arts – Second Edition” / Mumi - Museo Michetti - Francavilla Al Mare (CH), Italy 2019 Internationale Art Price - Tamara De Lempicka / Milano Art Gallery - Milan, Italy 2018 Archipelago #2 / Galeri Sveva - Stockholm, Sweden 2018 Dialogo Tra Generazioni / Castel dell'Ovo - Naples, Italy 2018 Le Sfumature Magiche Del Tempo / Aurum Arts - Pescara, Italy 2017 In direzione ostinata e contraria / 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, United States 2017 La libertà nelle arti visive / Museo Michetti - Francavilla al Mare, Italy 2016 Sfumature Introspettive / Arte Borgo Gallery - Rome, Italy 2016 Caput Mundi Arte / Palazzo Ferrajoli - Rome, Italy 2016 Arte Salerno 2016 / Palazzo Fruscione - Salerno, Italy 2016 Art Rome / Flyer Art Gallery - Rome, Italy 2016 Trame D'artista / Merlino Bottega d'Arte Gallery - Florence, Italy 2015
