Scozzaro's images emit a certain aura even though what we see are mundane and almost obvious things: a street corner, ends of a column, handwriting on a cardboard surface, etc. The backs of these pictures are radiant with a shade of magenta, their dimensions nearly repeat rhythmically, but not really. As if we are given hope to be able to follow certain visual structures.
They are all composed through a great detail of attention, yet what is being depicted are messages and subjects that appear to be utterances, scribbles, half-asleep acts at work made more beautiful than they really are.
As an Italian who lives in America, the artist discovers that sensitivity and value really depend on our background, and effectively, our way of thinking. Interacting, or even having to live in another culture, leaves behind spaces that are strangely amusing, at times feel chaotic, yet vibrant.
