ACRYLIC-COLLAGE PAINTING-SOUL 2025- op.3 MURETTO by M.Milanese

ACRYLIC AND COLLAGE WORK – from the SOUL 2025 series by Marcello Milanese – Archive 03 – unique piece – Title-MURETTO. The paint splatter aims to represent the inner soul, and the comic expression is the external mask of the human being, with its reaction to the environment. The playing cards, or the paintings in the background of some works, symbolize the interpretation of the external world: in particular, all elements were, before being applied to the canvas, hit by bullets, a symbol of real life. The use of vintage wallpaper creates a falsely comfortable space for the artistic representation. Milanese’s paintings are inner mirrors or exorcisms of fears, leaving interpretation to the viewer. The artist wanted to recreate an inverse photograph of a dramatic event: the mirror image of an audience caught in an urban setting. The wall is the symbol of division between the characters, but of unity in the “moment,” even if seen from two antithetical viewpoints. Every time something happens, each human being sees and experiences it differently.
