Waiting for the Sun

Fabio Coruzzi is a story teller. His imaginative tales capture the realities of urban life and infuse them with the social commentary of a court jester. The work in this exhibition titled Waiting for the Sun looks at our urban landscapes, the financial crisis and our daily roles and rituals.
These mixed media works use contemporary and historical photography screen prints as their starting point. Rough, raw canvases bring a concrete quality to which he adds his graffiti of oil pastels, acrylics, watercolours, pens, markers and pencils. His hand drawn annotations bring insight to these multilayered images like an architect adding notes to a masterplan.
