Unreal Work Of Nicola Verlato

Nicola Verlato attempts to realize the “unreal” in his use of mythical references. Utilizing witches to explore the depths of mysticism and power, the paintings are composed as conceptual cinematic storyboards and tell a story from multiple points of view. Invoking, at times,explicit subject matter, the artist, who looks to a wide range of popular culture sources for visual inspiration including high-tech “first-person shooter” video gaming, renders a seemingly post-apocalyptic view of American society.
