Alessandro Bazan's 'Divagante' Survey at Convento del Carmine, Marsala

A survey of Sicilian painter Alessandro Bazan (b. 1966, Palermo) titled 'Divagante' is on view at the Convento del Carmine in Marsala until September 30, 2016. Curated by Sergio Troisi, the exhibition features works from the last fifteen years, including paintings such as 'Pobre' (2016), 'Ragazze schifosette' (2010), 'Collettivo' (2011), 'Ognun per sé' (2006), 'Batteria' (2007), 'Villino di Mondello' (2006), and 'Ok Corral' (2009). Bazan's style is described as centerless, dynamic, and jazz-influenced, blending references to 20th-century European masters (Guttuso, Pirandello, Picasso, Giacometti), American realism (Hopper), comics, cinema, and theater. The paintings feature filiform figures, urban landscapes, beach scenes, and interiors, often with a suspended, Mediterranean atmosphere. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalog published by Glifo.
