Bruno Caruso - Man on the Couch

In the history of art, a clear distinction can often be made between figurative and abstract stylistic movements. However, when an artist's goal is to represent an object that resonates with phenomenal reality but is also charged with hidden and symbolic meaning, this boundary can become blurred. Symbolism and Expressionism are emblematic stylistic movements in their conceptual interpretation of reality, with an iconic rendering of images and a symbolic interpretation in the use of color.

Bruno Caruso's artistic output is highly distinctive. He focuses primarily on the human figure, but creatively reworks it, adding a touch of surrealism. A constant throughout his work, however, is the use of extraordinary technique combined with an illustrator's imagination. Even in this graphic design, the representation is extremely concrete and solid, in its ostentatious three-dimensionality.

Bruno Caruso was born in Palermo in 1927 and passed away in Rome in 2018. A painter and engraver, he was also always interested in journalism and publishing. In 1959, he moved to Rome, where he collaborated with Leonardo Sciascia and the photographer Brassai. He taught painting for Rai Storia. He received numerous awards, including the Gold Medal for Culture from the President of the Republic in 2001 and the Archimede Prize, awarded to the most illustrious Sicilians in the world, the following year. The University of Palermo awarded him an honorary degree in Literature and Philosophy in 1986.
