About the Item

Alex Folla was born in Oggiono in 1980. After earning his academic diploma with the highest honors from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, he specialized with top honors in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara. His artistic research immediately directed him towards the naturalistic representation of the human figure, and he was particularly drawn to the painting techniques used by the Masters of Italian Seicento, technically referred to as "pittura a risparmio." Since 2005, he has embarked on an intense exhibition activity both in Italy and abroad. In 2015, he organized an exhibition with an associated workshop on the theme of Italian Seicento painting in Russia, at the Triumph Gallery in Moscow, and subsequently in the USA, at Fontbonne University in St. Louis, Missouri. At the same university, he conducted a course on Caravaggesque painting. In 2016, in collaboration with the Getty Museum, he organized an exhibition with an associated workshop at the Italian Cultural Institute in Los Angeles on the theme of Renaissance painting. Since then, both his academic and artistic activities have continued in Italy and abroad, and he has created numerous commissioned works, the most recent being "Gigantomachia," a mural painting spanning over 200 square meters at the Galleria Vik in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan.

  • Oltremare 6
    Located in Milano, MI
    I am not afraid to define it as a metaphysical painting, - says Angelo Crespi - and right in the suffix "beyond" (in Greek "meta") also of the title "Oltremare" the intent to climb over the wall of the sensible and the real is revealed. There is another vein to which the new paintings of Nahmad refer and it is that of Romanticism, in the strong idea that art should represent the sublime, not the beautiful. The skies like John Constable, thick with purplish blue clouds (such as "Rainstorm over the Sea" of 1828 which anticipates by a century modernity), the stormy seas like William Turner, give the viewer the idea of infinity and vastness of nature compared to the finitude and misery of the human. If Caspar Friedrich...

  • Hitchhiker
    Located in Milano, MI
    After touring Europe on a motorcycle, he arrived in Berlin in 2012, where he won a residence for artists with a pictorial series on massification and nihilism. In 2014 he was invited for a residence in Colombia, and subsequently he has travelled to Mexico, Guatemala and Cuba. The experience of Central America affects his painting so much that it becomes gestural and dominated by strong and bright colors. Contact with indigenous communities contributed to the formation of his thought and poetics, which suggests accessing an irrational dimension that cannot be explored through science and technology.
