Marcello Biagiotti - Ghosts of the Past

Surrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s, encompassing 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. However, this representation often relies on a hyperrealistic formal rendering, precisely to paradoxically accentuate the illusory and ambiguous nature of the surreal dimension.

Marcello Biagiotti's surrealism has a very particular connotation. The dreamlike dimension created by the painter rests not only on the introduction of alienating elements (De Chirico-style mannequins, Dalí-style biomorphic organisms), but also on the fact that his subjects express a sense of solitude and emptiness so profound that they cannot be considered realistic. Yet it is also the form that introduces us to a surreal dimension. Everything, in fact, is created with a cold, extremely objective, and therefore blatantly illusory plasticity. To this end, Biagiotti employs a highly elaborate execution technique, both in his drawing and painting.

Marcello Biagiotti was born in Perugia in 1940. He is one of the main exponents of Surrealism in Italy.
