About the Item

Through human-scale reproduction of fashion magazine pages, the artist draws attention to the disturbing representation of women promoted by the mass media. The slow and meditative execution process inherent in the very technique of these works is opposed to the neurotic and bulimic visual consumption of an ephemeral beauty, which-deprived of all individuality and complexity, and reduced to a mere template for commercial content-quickly creases. The choice to represent torn and creased pages is the symbolic medium through which the artist's critique of the rapid obsolescence of images. His hyperrealistic technique reproduces with maniacal precision the same folds and shadows of the crumpled page, details that transfigure the bodies and faces portrayed. In this operation the models, already transfigurations of an aesthetic ideal, are further transformed, becoming copies of copies, appearances of appearances. The reflections and luster of the paper, which emphasize the patina effect with particular realism, highlight the issue of surface both in the material sense and in the metaphorical meaning of appearance, the dominant value of our time. These are not mere visual devices or virtuosities, but symbols of reflection itself, highlighting the artist's consideration of the nature of seeing and being seen, of the intersections between reality and representation.
