Alessandro Botti was born in Milan in 1970. In the early nineties he attended the School of Graphic Design at the Dardi professional institute in Milan and subsequently obtained a diploma in Illustration and Comics at the Institute of Art applied to the Castello industry Sforzesco in Milan. In the meantime, he collaborates on behalf of Master Edizioni at the 3ntini graphics studio for comics and illustrations for the magazines Comics Skate, Stickers Skate, Ultrà. From 1996 to 1998, on behalf of the publisher, 3ntini collaborated with elaborate comics and illustrations for the magazine Idea Tattoo.
Since 2000, he takes a different path, changing the perspective on his work creating paintings. His works are influenced by the mix of comics and fantasy films of the eighties and nineties (the Star Wars saga and Alien) and the passion for informal art (some painters that he admires with passion are - Emilio Scanavino - Pinot Gallizio -Roberto Crippa).
My painting is a mix of the figurative with references to a passion for science fiction and informal painting. This painting is a rebellious conception of art that I feel close to. The informal "rejects the form" to intervene directly in the matter with an expressive sign and therefore the matter comes into play.
This is the fundamental concept of Informal art. At the same time, however, the figurative that I use is the outlet of my most conscious part that comes out of my paintings to scream at the world.
From this union, the paintings are created with various mixed techniques and often characterized by free brushstrokes and overlapping layers, using various materials such as oil paints, acrylics, pencils, wax crayons and vinyl glue.
Plastic, Vinavil and latex inserts are used to texture the surface of the image and make it embossed and pulsating. Sometimes small sculptures of monsters emerge from the canvas, animating the composition.
An important part of the painting is composed of a series of collages of layered drawings made with ink pens, disturbing creatures and agglomerations of a science fiction matrix, assembled to recreate dream worlds with signs and methods in the internal and universal chaos that I draw on for my creations.
