Alessandro Del Pero

Paolo Maggis

Daniele Accossato

Alessandro Boezio

For the first time in its practice, the Omnichannel Platform MSA is holding an exhibition in London, as part of an emerging artists presentation project. The show is focusing on four Italian artists, showcased for the first time in the UK, in an attempt to give Italian artists an international stage.

The exhibition includes two sculptors: Daniele Accossato, who has been showcased also in Miami and New York, and Alessandro Boezio, with some early works researching the spatial limits of human anatomy. Accossato creates sculptures that address the victimisation of art, based on his earlier works and the new Pallet No.1 (2022), being shown for the first time, one can trace the development of his artistic style. The subjects are references to historically famous figures of artistic depiction, classical references as well as more contemporary ones, such as Koons and Gormley. Alessandro Boezio has focused more on a surrealistic exploration of the human body. His works are an uncanny twist of limbs blurring the line between intriguing, satisfying, and even disturbing. The unusual elongations, multiplications, swaps, create a provocative illusion, haunting yet hypnotising.

Alessandro Del Pero and Paolo Maggis are Italian painters, selected to exhibit both a figurative and abstract body of work to contrast and complement each other. Alessandro Del Pero is a self-taught artist, with a very mature style even if his artistic career is relatively fresh. His subjects vary from mythical creatures, through mysterious silhouettes to even himself. The compositions are skilfully balanced with the use of mauve and blue tones, divided between the fore-and background. A recognisable feature is his point of view, which is from a window, casting its spotlight over the fictional space. Del Pero plays with the lines dividing the illuminated area from the shadows. Paolo Maggis is known as an abstract expressionist, whose research is gestural and emotive. Maggis explores the human form through heavy brushstrokes and subtle colour combinations, his mild tones go often hand in hand with a touch of a bright vivid colour used thoughtfully as a balancing force to an otherwise muted palette. In this show, the works selected are of bodies, heads, faces, which create a complementary dialogue with the sculptural works, especially those by Boezio. The dismembered, the muted, the coloured, the nude.
