Ireneo Frizzarin

Ireneo Frizzarin is a painter and multidisciplinary artist whose work has been featured in solo exhibitions in London, New York, Spain and his native Italy, and can be found in private collections worldwide. Ireneo has lived and worked in London since 2002. After graduating from the University of the Arts, London, in 2008, he began undertaking private commissions. His recent works include a collaboration with Donna Karan NY and Gordon Ramsey. His works currently grace the walls of one of Mr Ramsey’s latest culinary ventures.

Memories of facts, people and events have a strong influence on his paintings, which attempt to capture moments in his life. He is inspired by images of people, such as photos of close family members in their youth whom he met only later in their life. The overlapping of these characters in their adult life with the memory of them in their younger years creates a dream-like narrative expressed through bold colours and application of paint, in an attempt to express a mood or state of mind.

Memories are not set in stone. They are relived through the viewer’s eyes, who shapes them according to their past and present and their own dreams. The meaning and value of a painting can change and gradually develop ...
