Deliciously Sore

In this gorgeously textured mixed media and resin artwork by Raphael Mazzucco, we see soft tones of cream and pasted oranges offset by passionate accents of deep blue and purple. Exploring the art historical figure of the female nude through a contemporary lens, Raphael Mazzucco also amalgamates a range of artistic mediums including paint and photography

Archival print, acrylic paint and pigmented enamel, finished with a resin coat. Mazzucco's artistic visual narrative captures the human form set against a backdrop of startling landscapes spanning the continents, from Icelandic glaciers to African wildlife, the outback of Western Australia to Vietnamese rice paddies. He incorporates these documentary forms into building a layered narrative through paint, collage, and hand-lettered texts. The artwork reflects a palimpsest approach of articulation through reinvention. Through these works, we journey alongside Raphael through terrains both geographic and emotional, artistic expressions that evidence his imprimatur on our culture as a whole.
