Alberto La Tassa

Alberto La Tassa
Padua, 1986
Lives and works between Venice and Miami
Alberto La Tassa trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice and grew up in a family with a deep-rooted artistic tradition. From a very young age, he developed a natural relationship with visual expression, exploring different techniques and languages. Since 2010, he has exhibited in Italy and abroad, participating in solo and group exhibitions in Europe, the United States, and Asia. The constant crossing of different places and cultures fuels a cosmopolitan sensibility that orients his work beyond any stylistic and geographical boundaries.

The changing shape
Alberto La Tassa’s painting practice was born from a rigorous construction of the image: drawing, glazes, and material stratifications shape the figure with anatomical precision. This solid structure is accompanied by interventions that alter its contours, generating surfaces in continuous transformation.
Alongside painting, the artist uses drawing and mixed techniques to modulate density and rhythm, expanding the evocative possibilities of the work. Bodies and symbols go through a constant metamorphosis, inviting the viewer to a gaze that oscillates between recognition and imagination.

Figures, absences, possibilities
His figures, often almost angelic, inhabit “non-places”, suspended spaces that belong more to the mental dimension than to the geographical one. The absence of the face, recurring in various works, is not a subtraction but an opening: the face is temporary, not always functional to the narrative. Absence thus becomes a gateway to the imagination, a space in which “not knowing” activates the gaze of the observer.
Each painting is conceived as an autonomous work: more than series, the artist develops cycles, in which each work maintains its own identity and resembles no other. Reflection on the work often occurs after its creation, in a process in which intuition and thought chase each other.

 

Nudity, dress, symbol
In La Tassa’s work, nudity is a symbol of purity and formal perfection: all bodies embody beauty. At the same time, dress introduces mysticism and mystery, becoming both a narrative and identity element.
The animals, present in various works, take on a silent symbolic value: natural guides, elegant and timeless figures, appear as signs referring to a deeper and more intuitive dimension of reality.

Transformation and knowledge
For Alberto La Tassa, art is transformation: a process capable of exorcising discomfort and converting it into an image. Works such as “Discovery” and the cycle “Prometheus” explicitly recall the theme of discovery and knowledge: pushing beyond one’s limits, bringing fire as a symbolic act of awareness.
