MOBY DICK (MARCO TARASCIO)
Rome, 1978

Animal Liberation Front, 2011
Mixed media and oil on canvas, 39 x 25 cm
Signed lower right: Marco Tarascio

Photo-certificate by the Artist, 2019

A reference point for the Pop Made in Italy Surrealism, Moby Dick took part in the collateral event of the 53rd Venice Biennale and exhibited at the Jarvitz Center in Manhattan and at the Westing Hotel in Tokyo.
His art is dreamlike, the contact with nature is strong and the sensitivity that springs from it deep and boundless. In this work Moby Dick - strongly animalist - throws himself clearly against the barbarity towards the bulls during the Bullfight considered by the Artist a macabre ritual, a real liturgy of death.
