Oil and acrylic on canvas. Signature, date and title on the back. Concetto Pozzati was an eclectic artist: after his debut in the Informal climate, the artist reworked the influences of international Pop Art in a personal key, always remaining linked to a simplified, ironic figuration, with surrealist atmospheres. The work presented can be traced back to Pozzati's artistic period of the 80s, 90s and 2000s, characterized by a dense and fleshy painting that records the artist's interest in everyday and affectionate objects; belongs to the series entitled "Imagologia", groups of faces depicted on the canvas in overlapping and crossings. Of this series the artist said: "these heads fear painting because they often only collect the sign. The mystery of a head is always visible but... the enigma is always an unexpected relationship. The heads resist (for how much longer? ) to banality because the differences between them are extreme. Should we deal with the past? The past is easier to look at. The heads do not let life escape from their confines. The face does not detach itself from the torn relic. The heads they have ceased to be arrogant. The heads, these heads, enter my calendar. Heads with barbed wire: fence of heads. These heads could come out and come back at any moment. All these, so many heads, need a break if not a ping-pong for two. Continue to make sense of these heads as a dialogue of different masks that bounce in the circularity of time and in persistent memorization." Work in frame.
