Fabrizio Arrieta is a featured artist in “New Surrealism: The Uncanny in Contemporary Painting” by Robert Zeller. @robzellerart
Fabrizio Arrieta portrays the artist as translator, a mediator between different artistic traditions, that in his work are caught in a feedback loop of diverse meanings and origins. He transforms visual references taken from social media posts and fashion into fashionably elegant geometric abstractions of drapery and human forms. His work speaks to the dissonance between fashion, the trappings of wealth, and a mysterious fragmentation of material existence, where distortions play out psychologically as well as physically.
“New Surrealism: The Uncanny in Contemporary Painting” by Robert Zeller offers a sweeping exposition of both historical Surrealism and its legacy in the world of contemporary art. It demonstrates the many ways in which the most significant art movement of the last century continues to be relevant today, featuring an international selection of contemporary artists whose compositions and studio practice reveal its influence.
