All Red III - Angelo Accardi - Eden Gallery

About The Artwork

"All Red III" by Angelo Accardi is a mixed-media painting that continues the captivating theme of the "All Red" series. Set against the backdrop of a vivid red room, the artwork features a prominent reproduction of a painting by Gustav Klimt, blending the rich textures and patterns characteristic of Klimt's work with Accardi's bold use of color. Dominating the foreground is a giant ostrich positioned to make eye contact with the viewer, adding a surreal and engaging element to the composition. Alongside the ostrich is a cartoon character, whimsically posed as if shooting a bow, introducing a playful and imaginative aspect. This painting exemplifies Accardi's ability to harmonize classical art references with contemporary and surreal elements, creating a visually striking and thought-provoking piece. 
 

About The Artist

Originally from a small town in the south of Italy Angelo Accardi moved to Napoli to study fine arts at the Art Academy of Naples. Shortly after, in the early 90s, he set up his personal studio close to his childhood home to embark on his pursuit of painting and sculpture. In the course of his artistic development, Accardi has been on a constant search for new sensations using mixed media to depict figures against differing social backgrounds.

Accardi’s debut on the art scene was strongly characterized by what in Italian art is referred to as “figura,” a representation of the human body, as well as by pictorial and symbolic art. His focus is on the study of humankind and the space we inhabit. Accardi draws from this focus in every one of his collections as he illustrates surreal visions of everyday life under realistic backdrops of urban landscapes.

The cycle of works called Human Collection depicted on an attenuated atmosphere, suggesting the softness of cotton wool – where the figures are masterfully veiled as if by a sheath of moistness – marks a fundamental passage in his artistic development. Ironic and surrealistic, Accardi’s unique perspective and Avant-Garde style has exhibited at galleries as well as several solo and group exhibitions worldwide.

In the last three decades, Accardis’ artistic path led him to contemplate social representations through collections like MisplacedHuman Collection, and Blend. These collections reveal the contradictions in every day, working with commonplace objects and backdrops making the created scene more relatable. Using humor, symbolism, and tributes to famed artists before him Accardi represents culture, history, and even a prediction of the future.
