Abstract

“Francesco Jozzi is the creator of dramatic fairytales for adults, of mysterious plots between shy minor figures in the mass of the communities. A surreal fairytale, created by an imagination that does not allow limits, inhabited by timid and guileless or cunning and sly beings, plain or donning hats, against the backdrop of ancient hills and perched villages. His return to painting is a primal need for self-expression, a continuing exploration of the path that leads below consciousness, a voluntary descent towards the unconscious and the free flow of images. Jozzi paints the lacerating sound that only an anguished cry can produce, the cry of a guiltless child who weeps for the loss of his favorite fairytale. Pinocchio is dead. In his place, new evil icons feed, without ever reaching satiety, on the remains of an enchanted world.”
