Digital print on plexiglass
Dario Murri is an Italian artist who uses the collage technique to create unique and original works of art. In his most famous collages Murri has combined elements of found images with hand-painted elements, creating a surreal, dreamlike world full of intriguing colors and details. His compositions are filled with natural elements such as forests, rivers and animals, as well as man-made elements such as cars, dolls, houses and street signs. The end result is an extraordinary work of art that captures the imagination and invites the viewer to discover hidden details.
The work "The Grooming" belongs to the "Omaggio a Jiri Kolar" series produced by the artist. Similar to the other works presented in this series, sotric characters, artworks, objects and animals merge in a seamless metamorphosis.
In this work, specifically, it is the Venus Callipigia (literally
"with the beautiful buttocks") this the title of the Roman-era sculpture
portrayed, which, in a play of reflected images, and between positive and
negative, admires herself in the act of caring for her body.
The technique used by the artist to create this work consists of a digital print made on plexiglass.
The work is in limited edition, copy 1/5.

The multifaceted Dario Murri, a multi-talented intellectual, is a journalist, author and host of radio and television programs. After completing classical studies, he graduated in Architecture from the Milan Polytechnic. His long experience in the world of design and art, ancient, modern and contemporary, has prompted him to manifest his creativity through original works, the expression of an inner and outer quest, as well as a constant observation and elaboration of society and its evolutionary dynamics. Dario Murri is a character of difficult categorization, who draws, by generational and other affinities, from POP culture and its imagery, but nevertheless allows decidedly "darker" and "deeper" themes to shine through them.
