ENG
This surreal painting by Trevisan is
a tribute to the mexican artist Frida Kahlo who Andrè Breton himself
defined as "a surrealist created with her own hands".
In front of her face a large goldfish
is suspended to create an aura of mystery around the enigmatic figure of
the mexican artist.
The title reminds us of a famous film entitled "A fish called Wanda" and
the fish becomes the co-star of this enigmatic painting.
ITA
Questo dipinto surreale di Trevisan è un omaggio all'artista messicana
Frida Kahlo che lo stesso Andrè Breton definì "una surrealista creata
con le sue stesse mani".
Davanti al suo viso un grande pesce rosso è sospeso per creare un alone
di mistero attorno alla figura enigmatica dell'artista messicano.
Il titolo ricorda un famoso film intitolato "Un pesce chiamato Wanda" e
il pesce diventa il co-protagonista di questo enigmatico dipinto.
