In some countries, artists like Giuseppe Veneziano can go to jail for his provocative or political satirical art.
Italian born and like many renaissance men, he is an architect as well as a painter. Starting his art career through comic design for publishers such as Paruzzo Publisher and the Capital Editor, he continued painting his comics into large scale satirical pieces inspired through politics or mass media.
While walking the streets of Venice, such pieces can surely catch your attention. A ploy to sell art or a true muse to create a conversation, either way the artist ventures into a playful surreal world and takes us with him where some may mock, snigger or walk shyly away from.
Below are some of his images during the Venice Biennale, showcased at Contini Gallery.
