Alessio Mazzarulli - Not your doll - 52 (n.769)

ot your doll - 52 (n.769) The measurements are: 50.00 cm x 40.00 cm Acrylics on small pieces of paper on canvas (mixed media) Unframed; shipped rolled. I create paintings using acrylic paints and thousands of small pieces of recycled paper: everyday paper is transformed into art rather than ending up in the garbage. Series "Not your doll" - In my latest works I have focused on the theme of women treated as objects (dolls) and too often victims of violence, and these are the latest works created. On these little pieces of paper you can read words and phrases scattered here and there. This often happens when we truly approach another person: sometimes we perceive their secret messages, sometimes not. "Not your doll" - "I am not your doll" is a series where I intend to represent female faces with features that recall the most classical dolls and the message is: "even if I look like a real doll, I am not a doll, your doll and you can do whatever you want with me" with all that lies behind, up to, unfortunately, violence. The surface presents small reliefs and I like to caress it, feel it... I also use acrylic resin on the surface, which gives a shiny effect and protects the colors from sunlight and dust. This work is unique and original. Each work is securely packed, wrapped and protected for shipment worldwide, with the Certificate of Authenticity included. I use the courier provided directly by Catawiki and a tracking number will be provided. This piece will be shipped unframed and un-stretched since the artwork will be shipped rolled. The canvas is larger than the painted dimensions as the extra surface is useful and necessary to be able to stretch the canvas on a frame. It is advisable to have the work stretched and mounted by a trusted professional who can also advise on a possible suitable frame. The images showing the work in interior settings are for illustrative purposes only and may appear differently in size. The actual dimensions are those indicated in the description. Different light sources can give colors different tones in the photos. For more photos and information, contact me! Thank you. *** Important notice for international buyers (non-EU): Customs duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. The amount should be between 10% and 20% of the artwork's value. Born in 1974 I am self-taught. After an initial period devoted to sculpture there was a long standstill lasting almost twenty years. Since December 2014 I have returned to the "two dimensions" for reasons of time and space, neglecting sculpture and dedicating myself to acrylic paintings. I love painting abstract landscapes but recently I am also pushing myself to paint faces of people both imaginary and actually existing. For me painting is "freezing time" in that exact moment; a painting of mine is often a faded memory and therefore my works are "worn, eroded by time". Sometimes the subjects of my paintings are glimpses of walls also eroded by time, with mosses and fungi that – over time – grow on the surface. Time that passes inexorably is the main theme of my works. Coming from a wonderful experience with clay manipulation, I love sculpture, the third dimension, the sense of touch and my paintings are often characterized by reliefs clearly perceivable by touch as well as to the naked eye. In this latest period, after several years during which my works were made from pieces of recycled paper forming figures, I am pushing myself to explore Optical Art where I use painted wooden discs arranged in lines and grids repeated with mathematical precision that when seen up close seem to form an abstract colorful painting but the more you move away the more a figure portrait emerges from the many painted wooden discs. Violence against women is a theme that characterizes almost all of my works when I reproduce female faces, precisely to give them a voice when they do not have the strength or courage to report that they are not their partner's dolls and cannot be mistreated or, worse, victims of violence.
