Alberto Pazzi - Put On Your Red Shoes and Dance The Blues : A solo exhibition of works by Alberto Pazzi

What is the pursuit of happiness in the eyes of both individuals

and society? Can a painting be inherently melancholy and still

exuberantly possess a tinge of joy? The answer can be found

within Alberto Pazzi’s solo exhibition Put on Your Red Shoes

and Dance the Blues at TW Fine Art Montauk, on view from

July 1 - July 31, 2023.

Alberto Pazzi’s paintings showcase the development of the

artist's subconscious musings, passions, and investigations

over the past decade of living in New York. Using acrylic paint

as his primary vehicle of expression - inspired by human

connections, romantic delusions, and a signature vibrant

palette - Pazzi stylistically arrives at the intersection of Pop-Art

and Surreal Minimalism. His compositional precision creates

deeply personal, often dark yet whimsical paintings striking at

the core of our primal fears, joys, and desires. In a way, these

depictions develop into his very own self-portraits and often

combine bright colors and humor. Drawing inspirations from

archival Harper’s Bazaar advertisements, dreams, and the

close ties to the studio of the late John Wesley, Pazzi creates a

world of his own.

His newest body of work melds the melancholy and celebratory.

With his meticulously evocative lines, self-reflexive color palette,

and pop culture-based meta-representations, Pazzi’s work is a

reaction to his diverse influences within the rich tapestry of his

life. The work highlights Pazzi’s refined attention to detail and

keen sense of composition. The results are dynamic - bold

imagery and vibrant colors that command attention. Each work

showcases a masterful focus on line work and surrealistic

subject matters - creating a visual language that invites viewers

to explore an unspoken truth within his works.

Alberto Pazzi's artwork weaves his past as a graphic designer,

his Mexican heritage, and his experiences in the vibrant

metropolis of New York City. Through his signature style, he

invites us on a journey of exploration, celebrating the power of

art to bridge cultures, capture the essence of human emotions,

and evoke further internal conversations within the viewer.
