Andrea Gangi's art captures a range of subjects, from birthday celebrations and groups of children to tropical scenes and swimming pools. Gangi's work delves into the metaphysical realm of reality, creating a sacred space, a crypt where viewers can sense the essence of things and the skin of characters. Drawing inspiration from life, movies and literature, Gangi's art explores the decadence of existence and the ephemeral nature of memories and dreams The figures often take on a strange, almost monstrous quality, impregnating his art with a sense of unease and horror The otherworldly quality of Gangi's work creates a parallel reality that upsets and disturbs us Each brushstroke creates a unique world, inviting viewers to explore the artist’s vivid imagination
