Biography
Damask wallpaper, walls full of paintings... Carlo Galfione welcomes us into his best living
room, with a sly smile, as if he were about to strike us siently. Portraits frozen in aseptic perspectival cages, grotesque faces whose age is impossible
to determine, profane representations -where the sacred figure is a transgender- oscillating
between an altar panel and a magazine cover. Galfione displays a whole menu of possible esthetic homologations, where the iconic value is stereotyped by the fashion system - his painting captivates his new devotees, pushing them to worship glossy dream images in an estranging living room that does not allow far empty spaces.
Please, come in.
