Giuseppe Fontana

Perhaps these might be the human qualities with which, since birth, the individual relates to the world: the ardent passion and the visceral side of him. On the sides, two other very strong figures impose themselves on the space: a red snake and a duckling with wheels and large, enlightened eyes. The images are strong but not bothering, indeed like a magnet they keep you attached to the canvas, as if you’re trying to understand every single detail. The egg portrayed in the canvas then appears to leap out and materializes into a gleaming blue ceramic sculpture. The blue egg seems to be different from the previous one, as to represent an individual rebirth that takes color. All of Giuseppe's work is diversified in both technique and theme, ranging from conflicting emotions: tenderness and anger, pain and rebirth. Each work is a new story and a new discovery. There is a famous quote from Frida Kahlo which I think perfectly represents it: "Surrealism is the magical surprise of finding a lion in that closet where you wanted to take a shirt."
