ALESSANDRO BAVARI
Photo-paint composition

Alessandro Bavari is a 38-year old Italian artist. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome but in many ways is largely self-taught. He has explored many media: paint, watercolor, crayon, photography. "I consider anyway the computer," he writes, "as any other working instrument, like a brush, a palette or a darkroom." His commercial art has illustrated calendars, magazines and advertising, and his fine art has been exhibited in many group and one-man shows in Italy and elsewhere. The digital art shown here are paint and photo compositions that have been put together and re-worked on the computer. His work may sometimes seem off-putting and inaccessible, but clearly Bavari has shaped his own voice, which often draws on the resources of European mythology and literature. The voice may be tragic and sometimes grim, but maybe a sense of humor sometimes lurks as background noise. His work has the profound signature of a master.
