Jara Marzulli - LA SCOMODATA

The work is one of the few remaining pieces by the artist from the years 2011–2013, whose themes have often depicted a female world, where symbols intertwine with a gestural language that conveys and deepens the theme of bonds, such as the ribbon on the pregnant belly, and of introspection.

The blue wig alludes to transforming one's image, but what is evident is the state of pregnancy, which is not a sweet moment but a complex, uncomfortable one—a line along which the woman stumbles and examines herself (a finger inside her belly).

The defining features are always the gaze and the naturalness of a body, not perfect by conventional aesthetic standards, not exposed to pleasure, but bearing witness, itself, to the whole message, which conveys confidence and dignity, going beyond mere observation.

The work may also not require a frame. The frame is approximately 4 cm high.

The work will also be shipped with the certificate of authenticity of the original piece.

Jara Marzulli's works are part of private collections in many parts of the world, including museum collections such as in Athens, Catania at MacS, in the Pinacoteca di Gaeta, at the Vittoriale degli Italiani in Gardone Riviera, and in Cadiz, Spain.
It is noted in major catalogs of the finest artistic representation, as well as in international print and online books and magazines.

Jara Marzulli
Born in Bari, he graduated from the Liceo artistico di Bari and later from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bari with top honors. Since 1998, he has participated in exhibitions and competitions, quickly earning recognition, awards, and significant selections.
His figurative realist painting style becomes immediately recognizable, and since 2004, he has begun gaining international experience through fairs, biennials, and important exhibitions.

His art grows and tells of a feeling that is both ecstatic and sensual, made even more striking and moving by the technical perfection that characterizes the artist. A lucid and tearing expressive quality, an indefinable purity that dresses itself in painting, a constant play of surprises, of role exchanges between the artist who paints and the subject depicted.

Numerous are the prestigious biennials and art exhibitions where the artist exhibits in Italy and abroad, such as in Turkey, at Art Taipei Fair, Taiwan, China, at the Red Elation gallery, Hong Kong, at the MEAM Museum, Barcelona, Dublin, at the Maguncia Museum, Buenos Aires in Argentina, and in London.

Jara Marzulli's figures have intense, direct, frontal gazes. They possess the dignity of subjects ready to respond with great immediacy. The characters, occupying almost the entire space of the canvas, visually represent men, women, girls, and boys who seem to recognize the observer as a stranger; they sustain the gaze, reject it, and push it away to defend the silence of their precious inner world.
