Little Red Riding Hood

€800,00

“Little Red Riding Hood” by Massimiliano Precisi is a work that dismantles the traditional tale and reassembles it in a disturbing and satirical narration. The protagonist is not the sweet little girl of the fairy tale, but a fragmented entity, in which the face breaks down into a mosaic of eyes, masks and symbols. The green and turquoise background, apparently innocent, contrasts with the visual tension created by the central figure, dressed in the classic red, but deformed in her features.

The use of mixed media on wood gives the work a materiality that amplifies its emotional impact. The golden frame, almost anachronistic, seems to ironize on the "sacredness" of the fairy tale itself, transforming it into a disturbing game of appearances. Precisi reminds us that even an innocent story can hide hypocrisy and falsehood, inviting us to see beyond the masks that the wolf, or Little Red Riding Hood, might wear. A small masterpiece of desecration.

Massimiliano Precisi

Art as revelation: rawness, truth, impact

Massimiliano Precisi, master of pictorial irreverence , is an Italian artist who has conquered not only national stages, but also prestigious international galleries, from the United Kingdom to the United Arab Emirates , up to Switzerland .

His work, ferocious and merciless , is a hymn to human hypocrisy , not to celebrate it but to unmask it, stripping it away with crude brushstrokes and sharp symbolism.

A visual language between masks and disintegrations

His universe is populated by masks , multifaceted faces and anatomical fragments , which tell stories of falsehood, illusions and moral breakdowns .
Precise, an alchemist of materials , he expertly mixes acrylics, oils, pencils and collages on all types of supports – from canvas to wood – transforming them into real emotional and social battlefields .

Artist's Manifesto

"Art is not what you see, but what you allow others to see."

This is his manifesto and his warning : looking at his works means confronting what we often prefer to ignore .
