Ana Mazzei's 'How to Disappear' Concludes Trilogy at Green Art Gallery
Ana Mazzei's latest exhibition, 'How to Disappear,' at the Green Art Gallery in Dubai, wraps up her trilogy called 'Love Scene Crime Scene,' which focuses on the imagined disappearance of a ballerina. The showcase features unique bronze sculptures of mixed human-animal figures on concrete stands, along with about 50 oil paintings divided into six categories: stage, vases, landscape, cages, beings, and the joker. Drawing inspiration from detective stories by Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza and Agatha Christie, she emphasizes mystery rather than resolution. Among her sculptures, you’ll find a praying frog, a winged Pegasus, a hand from a horse, an old Centaur, and a slender Icarus, all beautifully crafted in bronze with patina. The artwork delves into themes of disappearance and rebirth, blending Mazzei's insights with her fictional tale. Adriana Francisco has covered the exhibition in writing.
