ABOUT

ALESSANDRO CALZA IS A VISUAL ARTIST BASED IN GENOA, ITALY. HIS WORK EXPLORES THE HUMAN FIGURE, IDENTITY, DESIRE, TRANSFORMATION AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PHYSICAL AND THE PSYCHOLOGICAL.

HIS IMAGES MOVE BETWEEN THE FAMILIAR AND THE UNCANNY, DRAWING ON MYTH, SYMBOLISM AND THE LANGUAGE OF DREAMS. THE HUMAN BODY OFTEN BECOMES A VEHICLE FOR IDEAS RATHER THAN A SUBJECT IN ITSELF: A PLACE WHERE DESIRE, VULNERABILITY, POWER AND TRANSFORMATION CAN COEXIST.

CALZA WORKS WITH CONSTRUCTED IMAGES, COMBINING DIGITAL IMAGE-MAKING WITH A STRONG ATTENTION TO COMPOSITION, ATMOSPHERE, TEXTURE AND MATERIALITY. THE RESULTING WORKS DELIBERATELY OCCUPY AN AMBIGUOUS SPACE BETWEEN PHOTOGRAPHY, PAINTING AND PRINTMAKING, WITH THE IMAGE ITSELF REMAINING AT THE CENTRE OF THE PRACTICE.

HIS WORK IS DEVELOPED AS AN EVOLVING BODY OF IMAGES RATHER THAN A FIXED SERIES, CONNECTED BY RECURRING FIGURES, SYMBOLS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL STATES.

SELECTED WORKS AVAILABLE FOR LICENSING. OPEN TO COMMISSIONED ARTWORK AND VISUAL DIRECTION FOR MUSIC, PUBLISHING AND ENTERTAINMENT.
