The troubled cosmology of elements, described by Nicola Alessandrini in his artwork, goes over the tragical penetration and colonization process constantly made by the Unconscious into Reality. The work of the artist finds the chance to influence the evolution process directly, overcoming the biological limits using the artistic means. Individuals who consume themselves and appear in the form of images and abstractions, clinical transplants that replicate the mix of desires, sense of identity and personal memories, are all elements that flow into radically new forms of representation, able to respond to the complexity and interweaving of our historical moment. We are many-sided and complex identities, in which instinct, reason, fault, atavistic genetic defects mingle confusedly; but we are also incomplete and fallible beings, in an unfinished and spoiled stage of evolution. Nicola's works, both visible in streets and in galleries, are often uncomfortable, intrusive images, deeply disturbing the common sensibility, intertwining science, pop culture, folk and daily life.
