Hope II

He begins to paint as a self-taught artist, immediately revealing himself as a natural talent, he performs oil paintings on canvas also using the palette knife, which better enhances the use of the material, specializing in the execution of portraits.

He enrolled at the Faculty of Architecture in Venice where he studied the classics and contemporaries and at the same time attended Emilio Vedova who encouraged him to experiment with new executive techniques; fascinated by Pop - Art and decollagists (Villeglè and Rotella above all), as well as by American Art, he created a cycle of works that he exhibited in various private galleries and art fairs, enjoying immediate success.

In love with Street Art, he never misses an opportunity to embellish with his images - children holding hands, drawing a heart on the wall, gazing dreamily at the starry sky, the monnalisa in a tuxedo with her hands in her pockets smiling ironically - and his characteristic phrases - FOLLOW YOUR HEART, ART IS NOT A CRIME, IKONA, etc - the walls of half-world cities.

Many of the images created by Alessio-b have been used over the years by important fashion and accessory companies for the creation of the most disparate objects: handbags, covers, trolleys, T-shirts, dresses, scarves, etc.

Various techniques used ranging from the creation of canvases painted with spray colors using stencils for the creation of negative images, to the creation of images on previously plastered boards as if to recreate the surfaces of the walls on which he usually leaves his works as a tribute. to the cities where he lives or goes on vacation, paintings on paper and sculptures in various materials that are covered with images taken from newspapers or advertising posters and then "lacquered" with a material that by solidifying "fossilizes" the work almost freezing it to be able to transmit it to posterity.

Unlike the historical decollagists, one of the techniques he most used consists in using tears of posters (especially advertising for international periodicals: Vanity Fair, GQ, Playboy), over which he applies pages of newspapers (Le Monde, New York Time , Asia News) to create the surface, then intervening pictorially with multiple techniques ranging from enamels to oil, from acrylics to spray paint and finally by lacquering everything with a varnish that solidifying "vitrifies" the work.

Fascinating techniques that do not fail to stimulate the observer for the continuous quotations drawn from the contemporary and the ability to crystallize the advertising image or the news in a pictorial unicum that elevates even the most "banal" article to the status of a work of art. chronicle.
