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 create my first collages on paper and cardboard, I compose books with the cut-up technique and experiment with automatic writing. My artistic research is now based on the Kaos principle and takes the form of multi-material visionary collages, obtained from the union of images, gears, relics of mechanisms and found objects, glued on wood or canvas, in which I describe social and spiritual alienation of our age.

I collaborated with short stories, essays and drawings in various Italian and foreign publications.

I win the 2nd Prize of the National Competition “Verses for 45 Laps”, Teleuropa, Rome, 16/12/1989.

In 1991 I publish the book of aphorisms and various thoughts “Lo Ziraq” (Ed. Ellin Selae), in 2015 the prose book “The last hidden lives” (Ed. Limina Mentis).”
