Daniele Falanga - Silhouette

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.

Daniele Falanga's surrealism is constructed through a sort of accumulation of elements that appear to have no contextual affinity with one another. The artist combines figurative drawing, quotations from other artworks, collage elements, or written texts. Everything appears on the surface of the work, creating its own heterogeneous context, unfocused and unsettling. Formally, too, the techniques employed are extremely diverse. The only point of reference is the choice of images, purely for aesthetic and taste reasons.

Daniele Falanga is an artist who lives and works in Messina, where he was born in 1974. His monograph, "Falanga, Between Metaphysics and Pop Art," was published in 2005.
