Attilio Scarpa - Where were you while I was dreaming?

Surrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s, encompassing all fields of artistic research. In terms of the visual arts, Surrealism sought to explore the human subconscious and translate it into artwork through a mechanical writing process based on dream analysis. Consequently, Surrealist artworks propose the representation of a dreamlike dimension, completely dissociated from reality.

Attilio Scarpa's surrealist streak develops in a highly original and creative manner. In his works, the mechanical writing process is expressed not only in the creation of a parallel, essentially biomorphic dimension, but also in the simple juxtaposition of objects and forms (in the creation of imaginative architectural elements or alien landscapes). In most of his works, this is achieved in a minimalist form that focuses on the essence of the representation, in an imaginative blend of different elements and styles in a two-dimensional space. The chromatic, kaleidoscopic component is fundamental, fueling the magical and imaginative connotation of Attilio Scarpa's abstract surrealism.

Attilio Scarpa is a Mantuan artist who trained under the guidance of professor-sculptor Renzo Schirolli and painter Giorgio Bonaffini. His work is predominantly pictorial, almost always large-scale oil paintings. His research has focused on an original surrealist aesthetic, expressed in an abstract style with magical overtones.
