Adrien Fregosi

Sultana represents the estate of Adrien Fregosi ♡ Adrien Fregosi's paintings are often large-scale, depicting scenes in which several people or objects interact, somewhere between genre painting - in terms of the symbolic significance of the elements - and comic strips - in terms of the effectiveness of the narrative. Often the figure, lying down or withdrawn, refers to a kind of main character, a protagonist around whom the surrounding elements are arranged and read, thus referring to the viewer's position, and the artist's actual self-portrait. The scenes painted by Adrien Fregosi celebrate life and its beauty, also its hardest moments, and the often antagonistic emotions we can experience. Illness, fatherhood, love, togetherness, being an artist and isolation are as many themes addressed. The materiality of Adrien Fregosi's paintings alludes to his main inspirations, such as graffiti, fanzine culture, technical airbrush painting and the return to 1960s figurative painting. The artist is particularly interested in productions at the margins - though neither falling under the term outsider art nor Art brut - and which constitutes minor influences within the established fields of creation. ♡
