| Alessandro Scarabello has taken an artistic path distinguished by his attention to technique
and his observation of social phenomena. From 2000-2006, he dedicated his paintings to construction workers, immigrants, homeless, American Indians and Bedouins in the Libyan desert - all marginalized and humble people to whom Scarabello reinstated dignity through their portraits. In 2006-2007, he began to more deeply anchor his work in the great social and cultural issues of our time. Scarabello invented a superhero in five large canvases whose purpose was to express the expectations and delusions of a generation of 30-somethings who live in a society that seems not to need them. In 2008, Scarabello made a dramatic change. He added vibrant acrylic colors and a sociopolitical stance to his paintings - linking the most perverse aspects of society such as solitude, technology dependence, behavioral stereotypes, the free flow of violence, and the poisoning of the environment to the aftermath of centuries of capitalism. |
