Terrence Higgins Trust - 2023, Timed Auction

Ireneo’s work depicts a narrative between the paintings and the viewers, the obsession with reality creating a sense of parallel world between consciousness and subconsciousness. He is interested in the process of processing. The self expression of spontaneity, the attempt is to let time and process take control. The artist creates colourful 3D works drawing attention to the mutation of the Universe. The paintings represent the connection between colours and sounds, chaotic movements, a sense of anxiety and frenetic marks, into rays of rainbows and waves. The use of bold colours and lines crossing the works mark the separation but at the same time bring the painting
together. Throughout his works we see some reference to Sigmar Polke and the chaotic abstraction. Ireneo explains some of his works as an escape to a parallel world of imagination, but at the same time has an intricated feeling of claustrophobia.

“I am not worried about making mistakes, music and sounds guide my instinct”. Ireneo Frizzarin

The Journey represents one along which we all have to travel as we deal with our identity, and to comprehend who we really are. The butterflies symbolise freedom and the geometric figures are the solid structures we need to hold onto during our life to become adults. Finally, the letters symbolise our inner voices that we constantly question.
