The Salon by NADA and The Community

Marco Bizzarri is a Chilean Italian artist based in West Sussex, England. His paintings respond to the exercise of collecting and translating images by delving into the material possibilities of pictorial language. The result combines abstraction and figuration: the images reveal the multiple resources with which they have been constructed. The pictorial image, taken from personal photographs, is constructed from the dynamic between revealing and concealing. The action of covering the surface, through the gesture of sandblasting, is articulated as a way of silencing elements and at the same time charging the composition with a singular graphic and chromatic expression.
