Il burattinaio

"Il Burattinaio" by Massimiliano Precisi is a work that intertwines satire, social criticism and a vibrant aesthetic in a dynamic composition on recycled canvas. The scene is dominated by a fragmented central figure, the "puppeteer", who seems to orchestrate the surrounding chaos with disturbing hands and an ambiguous smile. Around him, a group of anthropomorphic figures moves in a chaotic interweaving of colors and lines, suggesting a manipulated and unaware humanity.

The pictorial details, such as the disheveled face and the bright colors that mix in almost caricatural shapes, create a grotesque and fragmented narrative. The decorative elements, such as the small red cube in the background and the hands stretched upwards, seem to oscillate between political metaphor and psychological allegory, inviting the observer to reflect on the human condition.

The recycled canvas, with its irregularities, amplifies the feeling of authenticity and imperfection. Precisi signs here a work that shakes and provokes, a small visual manifesto of the relationship of power and dependence that hides under the masks of society.
