Marco Rea - Altered Visions

My Sad Clown, Marco Rea




  Marco Rea an Italian artist born in Rome in 1975 has lived and worked there his whole life and is amongst one of the only artists that creates and uses spray on his advertising posters. His pop surrealist influences mean that he takes close reference from the emptiness and silence of aesthetics as a general. He begins his work with a glossy image one which is aesthetically pleasing to sell a product and then the fascination and desire to see this allows him by simply editing out the original image to completely change the image to bend the atmosphere of the art itself; making it other than self.  
  The work is somewhat creepy but making the images of exactly what he wants to portray by using mixed media makes the image very powerful and personal to the artist himself.



no name, Marco Rea
