Giosuè Cannizzaro - Please wait for me

Surrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s and encompassed all fields of artistic research. Specifically, in 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. Giosuè Cannizzaro's artistic production also takes place in an "other," visionary dimension. His works feature dreams, but also disturbing visions that express a tormented inner world. The artist's skill and brilliance lie in his ability to bring this world to life on canvas in an original form of the highest artistic value.

The visions Giosuè Cannizzaro depicts in his works always feature humanized figures moving in a surreal space. To construct this world, the artist focuses primarily on figuration and the materiality of his works, creating a splendid blend of imagination and pictorial gesture. Indeed, in bringing his figures to life, Cannizzaro demonstrates boundless creativity: his world is populated by an alien humanity, flattened into a two-dimensional world, whose slender, elongated forms are the result of the artist's expressionistic deformations of his characters. The evocative impact of Giosuè Cannizzaro's works is further enhanced by the formal quality of this painter's work. His painting is extremely elaborate, highly textured, and even develops into the third dimension. In this way, Cannizzaro creates surreal, yet expressionist and abstract settings, ideally suited to his visionary characters.

Giosuè Cannizzaro was a Sicilian artist born in Palermo in 1983 and passed away at the age of 37 in 2020. Cannizzaro's work has nevertheless left its mark on the contemporary Italian art scene. His paintings are highly original and offer a striking blend of surrealist and abstract expressionist influences. His exhibitions include important solo shows such as those at the Benciv Art Gallery, Art Flux Arte Contemporanea, and the MUMI in Francavilla al Mare.
