Alfonso Corsaro - Red Hair

Surrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s and encompassed all fields of artistic research. Specifically, in the visual arts, Surrealism sought to explore the human subconscious and translate it into artwork through a mechanical writing process based on dream analysis. Consequently, Surrealist artworks propose the representation of a dreamlike dimension, completely dissociated from reality. However, this representation often relies on a hyperrealistic formal rendering, precisely to paradoxically accentuate the illusory and ambiguous nature of the surreal dimension.

Alfonso Corsaro's style is a personal reworking of Surrealist aesthetics. Corsaro's journey undoubtedly begins with mechanical writing, which produces unusual juxtapositions of animate and non-animate subjects on his canvases. The alienating presence of these subjects consequently triggers a compositional process, sometimes geometric, sometimes biomorphic, which generates a dimension of lines and colors on the canvases that is distinct from reality. Corsaro's technique is essentially drawing, with no concessions to pictorial effects, demonstrating an affinity with the hyperrealism typical of the Surrealists. All this, combined with a brilliant, vibrant color palette, enlivens the works, making them more effective even on an expressionistic level.

Alfonso Corsaro is a painter of extraordinary creativity and inventiveness, capable of creating works in which the alienation typical of Surrealism is expressed in elaborate compositions that tend toward a process of abstraction of pure forms and colors. For Corsaro, abstraction is the key to entering the dimension of surreality in which the subjects of his intricate iconographies, born from the subconscious, move.
