Fabrizio Ceccarelli

Subsequently, I became fascinated by contemporary art and, in particular, by pop art and street art. I therefore began to create works inspired by the world of cinema, fashion and comics.
The topics addressed are the "big issues" that haunt contemporary man: the relationship with power and money, the man-woman relationship, ecology and violence.
The characteristic of pop art is precisely that of addressing important and challenging themes in a subtle way: we need to look beyond the mirror. The image, aesthetically pleasing, hides a meaning that emerges and reveals itself upon a deeper reading of the work.
The works are characterized by an aesthetic research which, through the use of lively and bright colors and a rearticulation of the typical languages ​​of cinema, street art and advertising, creates new symbolisms and images intended to convey aesthetic gratification but also messages on of general interest, always approached in an ironic way.
In the works the use of a "mixed media style" prevails through the use of acrylic colours, oil colours, spray and airbrush to create unusual atmospheres rich in colour, shades and contrasts.
In the most recent works, the use of brighter, fluorescent colors and the use of sprays and acrylics prevail to create more contemporary works through the use of the typical techniques of Pollock-style action painting and splashes and splashes of color.
The images are always painted and I never use prints on canvas. Unlike many neo pop or street art artists, I use oil paints which make the images brighter and I don't use stencils but draw the figures on canvas.
Paraphrasing Shakespeare I often say that "art is made of the same stuff as dreams", so in my paintings I realize my dreams and the impossible: characters and comics are associated and accompanied to express my vision of the world and, perhaps, of an ideal world.
