Without a doubt, the work of Marco Battaglini (Verona, Italy, 1969) echoes the anxiety inherent in Western society during the 21st century. This artist's work confronts us with an esthetic shock, a style charged with eclecticism and a touch of humor that brings a smile to the spectator's face while begging questions about the dogma that underlies current artistic and social scenes. In this re-contextualization, classic paintings are combined with elements of pop culture and urban art. Each of Battaglini's works offers a series of details that allow the spectator to gradually discover new meanings with a careful reading and a reflection on the dissolution by art of the barriers of time and space.
