Description of the work
Description of the work
Surrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s, encompassing 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.
All elements of the composition are designed to create an alienating situation. First and foremost, the lack of any spatial-temporal contextualization is countered by an excess of rationality in the formal organization. The accentuated symmetry emphasizes the composition's unreal nature, in addition to the style inspired by a deliberately fake and illusory hyperrealism.
Franco Lastraioli is a Florentine artist born in 1931. He debuted in his hometown at the GADA gallery and subsequently exhibited his works in various Italian cities, including New York. His style is extremely creative, playing with surreal images, created with an extremely objective style and bright colors.
