Lorenzo Villa: Children Portraits in the War Zone

// // Leave a Comment

Artist:  Lorenzo Villa

Artwork:  Paintings on sheets of transparent plexiglass.

Location:  Italy


Artist Statement:
Paintings on sheets of transparent plexiglass, on both sides.
On the back, with the layering of glazes, to get the bottom of the painting, (words, trees, simple lines or spots in an abstract context – informal ), which eventually will be visible only by looking at the front.
The characters and objects that complement the pictorial message, however, are painted in acrylic on front, thus creating a kind of three-dimensional effect more or less obvious. The whole is given by the detachment that is created between the bottom and foreground elements, thanks to the thickness of the slab, which can vary from 1 to 5 mm.
