Life is a burning tire

For his first solo project in the Netherlands the Italian visual artist Nero/Alessandro Neretti (Faenza, 1980) has developed 20 new works especially for museum Beelden aan Zee. He found inspiration within renowned masterpieces from the Dutch Golden Age. With a nod to Vermeer and Frans Hals, he presents an image of the slow decline into the here and now. Nero conducts a personal examination of the dynamics in society, politics and economy, which he approaches with a healthy dose of irony and a critical viewpoint. In the last ten years Nero has exclusively created site-specific work, with the focus on socio-economic research. He forces the spectator to re-examine prevailing interpretations and to embrace innovative conceptions. Nero likes to blend tradition and innovation, not only in the concept of his projects but also in their execution. For his sculptures he uses a broad spectrum of materials: paper, sand, cement, plastic, clay, PVC and more. He combines plinths, industrial objects and antique items into a single dissonant whole. Exhibition: Museum Beelden aan Zee, Scheveningen, The Netherlands (12.05.-27.08.2017).
