Cappuccetto rosso

Massimiliano Precisi's " Little Red Riding Hood" is a work that dismantles the traditional tale and reassembles it into a disturbing and satirical narrative. The protagonist is not the sweet little girl of the fairy tale, but a fragmented entity, whose face breaks down into a mosaic of eyes, masks, and symbols, challenging the viewer to question who she really is.

The seemingly innocent green and turquoise background contrasts with the visual tension created by the central figure, dressed in classic red but with distorted features. The use of mixed media on wood gives the work a material quality that amplifies its emotional impact. The almost anachronistic gold frame seems to mock the "sacredness" of the fairy tale itself, transforming it into a disturbing game of appearances.

With this Little Red Riding Hood painting , Precisi reminds us that even an innocent story can conceal hypocrisy and falsehood, inviting us to see beyond the masks the wolf, or Little Red Riding Hood herself, might wear. A small masterpiece of desecration for collectors who love provocative art.
