Alberto Sordi (Alexander 777)
History
La Spezia 28/08/1959
My artistic activity began in the 80s with surrealist drawings and paintings; also in this period I created the first collages on paper and cardboard, I composed books with the cut-up technique and I experimented with automatic writing. My artistic research is now based on the principle of Kaos and takes shape in multi-material visionary collages, obtained from the union of images, gears, wrecks of mechanisms and found objects, glued onto wood or canvas, in which I describe social alienation and spirituality of our age. I have collaborated with stories, essays and drawings for various Italian and foreign publications. I won the 2nd Prize of the National Competition “Versi per un ’45 Giri”, Teleuropa, Rome, 12/16/1989. In 1991 I published the book of aphorisms and various thoughts “Lo Ziraq” (Ed. Ellin Selae), in 2015 the book of prose “The latest hidden lives” (Ed. Limina Mentis).
