Trevisan Carlo - Mr & Mrs Williams

In this oil on canvas, Trevisan invites us into a microcosm where the everyday meets the surreal through minimalist, sharp elegance. The undisputed protagonists are two pears, transformed into anthropomorphic icons that embody a couple in pose, almost like a photographic portrait from days gone by.
By adding a vibrant red tie and a strand of gleaming pearls, the artist lends the fruits a human dignity, playing with concepts of gender, status, and social formality.
The work fits into that strand of contemporary Magical Realism where the ordinary object is decontextualized to provoke a smile or a reflection. Trevisan does not paint only fruit; he paints the human desire to dress up, exploring with irony the beauty of form and the extravagance of the everyday.
