Venus, 2022. Acrylic on linen, 150 x 130 cm.
The paintings of David Dellagi (b. 1970) showcase no easy task. They are visual spectacles, carying many layers of meaning beneath their appealing exterior.
The kaleidoscopic framework brings many of us back to childhood memories of escaping the real world by focusing on the dreamlike fiction before our eyes, looking through the magical lens.
In a similar manner, Dellagi creates these paintings with references to photos, cut-outs and collage material. The end result is an altered image on the canvas, which keeps us curious and amazed.
Soon…
