Herald St has revealed its representation of Amedeo Polazzo, born in 1988 in Starnberg, Germany, who currently resides and creates in London. Polazzo's artistic practice encompasses canvas works, fresco secco murals, and hand-painted lamp sculptures, influenced by Italian Renaissance art, trompe l'œil, Surrealism, and elements of popular culture and literature. His technique involves layering and removing pigment, tempera, and oil. Presently, his solo exhibition titled 'Commedia dell'arte' is being showcased at Herald St | Bologna. Editors from ARTnews Italia have highlighted his exploration of time and transience, likening his narrative forms to the masks of James Ensor.
