Angelo Accardi, unique work. Technique: oil and mixed media on canvas, 50 x 70 cm. Framed: 77 cm x 56 cm. Authentic, signed, with certificate of origin. Angelo Accardi, year of birth 1964, was born in Sapri, in the province of Salerno. The main feature of his artistic career is the constant research of new sensations. Currently acquired by Eden gallery (the most important art chain in the world), he entered the international market by the main door. Condition: new. He is a rapidly growing artist. Notes about the artist: the urban landscapes that the artist “stops”, like in a snapshot, are filtered through his ironic and surreal vein, even though it’s subtly restless, and a nervous and gestural pictorial rendering. The art of Angelo Accardi feeds on the styles and stress of today’s life. In his canvasses the routine of city life is ripped by a very emphasised symbolic element, usually an ostrich, which becomes the key to interpret the work. The animal, so visibly misplaced, is no better than each one of us. We, the multiform, varied and unique creatures, are misplaced in the grey and alienating city, which requires standardisation. The ostrich, which is made with very bright colours, is in open contrast with the range of grey colours in the background, it’s a hymn to resistance, a last cry of freedom. It’s the individual who, finally aware of his own endless possibilities, abandons the idea of hiding his head under the sand and proudly becomes a disturbing element in the distressing normality.
