Wainer Vaccari's Self-Taught Rise and Surreal Narratives at Galleria Mazzoli

The self-taught painter Wainer Vaccari (Modena, 1949) gained recognition through gallerist Emilio Mazzoli, who hosted his first solo show in 1982. Vaccari's breakthrough came when Panini commissioned a drawing of a player performing a bicycle kick, which became the cover of their sticker album for years. His work explores color and line, achieving a balance between disintegration and recomposition of matter through precise brushstrokes depicting perpetual motion. Vaccari's research extends beyond technique into narrative, placing surreal theaters on canvas that evoke doubts and anxieties, tempered by irony. The exhibition 'Incanti' at Galleria Mazzoli in Modena showcases his market trends and strategies. Artribune's Matteo Franzoni reports.
