maurizio anzeri's work is currently on show in the exhibition
makeup
at 'a palazzo gallery', brescia, italy
on now until march 11, 2012
jamie isenstein, alan reid, markus schinwald, john stezaker, sue tompkins, ryan trecartin, vedovamazzei, francesco vezzoli.
human models photographed and perfected by the touch of some of todayʼs artists in their untiring quest for ideal beauty, unconventional, made-to-measure.
the exhibition, curated by mariuccia casadio, displays an epoch-making modus operandi, a tendency to reinvent the information and materials of memory,
a drive to customise the existing, defining and inexorably explaining contemporary imagery.
anzeri's has developed a distinctive style of embroidering directly onto vintage photographs blending the past with future.
through geometric patterns, the multi-coloured embellishments somehow seem to visualize the subject’s thoughts.

using different coloured threads, he traces portraits with stitches and transforms ghost like images into eye catching, intricate designs.
anzeri’s elaborate needle-work set against somber backgrounds results in a sharp juxtaposition; and despite the history of both the technique
and the images used, he produces work which treads new ground. he recently collaborated with dazed and confused magazine on a fashion
feature 'it came from the sky'.
