Surrealist fragments of time

The 41st art feature, in which curator Alberta invites this time to another virtual 360-degree art journey, presents an exclusive selection of surrealist works by Italian artist Tiziana Trezzi from the 1980s.

Many of the 19 works are small formats, so actually a strong contrast to the already presented large-format works on the focus woman. This time she created an overarching reality that goes beyond the real and also includes the unconscious and dreamlike, by fragmenting the individual elements even more and taking them out of one plane and lifting them into a new dimension or time.

In doing so, she sometimes makes use of classical mythologies (The Cyclops, Metamorphosis, Odysseus and the Pillars of Hercules) or processes explosive themes of our time (Universal Memory, Fragments of a Woman, Portrait without a Face). Of particular importance is the work The Time Machine Has Stopped. A metallic, piano-like object subtly floats on a chandelier pole. Individual elements detach themselves. Two dimly recognizable people leave the pictorial space. The time machine is a surrealist fragment of time.

Tiziana Trezzi is one of the absolute masters of chromatology and lives and works in Lissone in Lombardy. Participates in numerous national and international art fairs, including ART BASEL. Top recommendation!

The BURN-IN online depot contains currently 47 works by the artist.
