The Italian artist Andrea Mastrovito has dipped his fingers into a whole bunch of media (video collages, acrylic, an installation for Dior Homme) but is most famous for his work with cut paper. An exhibition last year at New York’s Foley Gallery featured works of delicate tissue-paper collage held together with pins, each depicting a dreamlike scenario in a muted, monochromatic palate.
The paper tableaux leapt from whales to toreadors to a squat Picasso-like painter at work in a surrealistic studio. It was an infrequent American outing for the artist, who divides his time between Bergamo, Italy and New York City. Be sure not to sleep on the next one.
