In this painting I wanted to show how to carve out a moment for yourself when everyone else moves fast around you. The work represents people on the street in an American city in the 1940s. The woman with the hat is the central figure, she is still, all the other subjects revolve around her. Painted in black and white, this watercolor has the highlighted details and the contrasts between light and sharp shadow. Dimensions 65 1/2 cm x 44 cm.
Alessandro Allegra's is a painting of extraordinary beauty, characterized by a delicate and perfectly calibrated use of color. Works of a superfine language, made of energy and elegance of representation. The figures emerge delicately and silently, in a game of hints and ethereal and nuanced visual counterpoints. It seems a will dictated by the figures themselves, rather than by the Artist, characters who reveal themselves to us observers as part of a silent and delicate theatrical draft.
