Italian artist CARLO GALFIONE is represented by GALLERIA DIEFFE ARTE CONTEMPORANEA in Torino who has made a good description of his work:

Damask wallpaper, walls full of paintings...CARLO GALFIONE welcomes us into his best living room, with a sly smile, as if he were about to strike us siently. Portraits frozen in aseptic perspectival cages, grotesque faces whose age is impossible to determine, profane representations- where the sacred figure is a transgender-oscillating between an altar panel and a magazine cover.

His painting captivates his new devotees, pushing them to worship glossy dream images in an estranging living room that does not allow far empty spaces.

Please, come in.
