About the Item

Impasto mixed-media figurative portrait on canvas by Massimo D'Amico This portrait is inspired by a character from Aldous Huxley’s “Crome Yellow” named Mr. Scogan. This work showcases the artist’s masterful and generous use of thick, impasto technique, serving as a dynamic stage through vibrant color and textured brushstrokes. Beyond the portrait, the surrounding use of color amplifies the emotional impact it has on the viewer. ABOUT THE ARTIST - Massimo Damico was born on the Amalfi Coast (Italy), and is currently living and working in Prague. Damico took courses in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples. At age 23, Damico left Italy, and lived in many different cities from around the world, including places like: Barcelona, London, Berlin and New York City. While in New York, Massimo was represented by Monkdogz Urban Art in Chelsea. While here, he started to develop his new and personal style as an artist and practiced by making sketches he would create while waiting on the subway, depicting scenes of the crowded streets of Manhattan, outlying stations and the underprivileged suburbs of NY. Damicos’ style is a combination of semi-abstract and large expressionist figurative portraits of Poets, Esotericists and 'Maudit' (Artists’ living a life outside of or against society) that address philological and uncataloged areas. Damicos’ works are mostly structures and machines, capable of collecting energy and matter; However, being guided by a strong quest in search of psychological and physical purity, the artists’ images have become pure statements of disdain towards the so-called “ultra modern commercial world”; the Western policy - which often forgets the full meaning of “the idea of life and intelligence”.

Le Comte "The Count"
Located in West Hollywood, CA
Le Comte “The Count” - This artwork depicts the 19th century poet, Lucien Ducasse, also known as Comte de Lautremont. After being enthralled by the literary work “Le chants de Maldoror” in one night, the artist dreamt of the poets face and was compelled to bring it to life on canvas. The portrait has a classic setting as “Mezzo Busto”, or half bust, and exudes timeless sophistication through the bold use of color and dense oils, creating a three-dimensional effect and giving immense life to the character.
