Giuseppe Fontana

All of Giuseppe Fontana's artistic work revolves around Pop Surrealism. More than a simple artistic current, the latter is a real cultural movement that was born in Los Angeles around pop and underground comics in the 70s. Subsequently he traveled around the globe with his ironic and mocking tones towards the contemporary world, with which he tried to grasp the most hidden nuances, amplifying them to the limits of the absurd, the surreal "Surreal" is the first word that comes to mind when looking at Fontana’s art. Giuseppe throws his sculptures onto the canvas and manipulates them with all his imagination and personal experience, deforming reality and pushing it to the edge of the surreal. The canvas is full of a dense and dark wood: we can see in the foreground a wounded egg, bleeding while holding a live flame in one hand and his heart in the other.
