Oil, acrylic and paint on iron

Ignazio Mazzeo's works certainly embrace Haeckel's influence, but they use a contemporary and almost dreamlike language.

His iron boards have a unique brightness and colors that make him stand out on the contemporary scene.

Born in Erice in 1985, Mazzeo graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna in 2009. Since 2005 he has been exhibiting his works in galleries and exhibition spaces. He has collaborated with numerous critics and art historians including: Renato Barilli, Angelo Crespi, Roberto D’Aolio, Bruno Benuzzi, Valerio Dehò, Antonio Picariello and Aldo Gerbino. His artistic research focuses mainly on the decomposition and reinvention of natural forms which, when translated into painting and sculpture as enigmatic structures complete with morphological ambiguities and acidic-fluorescent colors, alter the natural logic to create a parallel universe, in which the protagonist is not man but Machine in organic geometry capable of self-determination and determination.
