Alessandro D'Aquila, Once Upon a time in Hollywood, digital print on paper, 50x50 cm

Digital print on fine paper by Alessandro D'Aquila, representing the iconic image of Brad Pitt driving a creamy yellow 1966 Cadillac Coupe de Ville from Quentin Tarantino's film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" ("Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"). The work belongs to the "Faceless Portraits" series, in which portraits are not defined but still easily recognizable at first glance. In the film, released in 2019, the main characters, played by Brad Pitt and Leonardo di Caprio, spend a lot of time in the car, making it a protagonist in its own right. There is no shortage of the artist's typical use of the Braille alphabet, according to which the use of this alphabet puts the sighted in the shoes of the blind, thus provoking a sense of bewilderment given by the inability to read it, the same bewilderment of those who every day cannot see the reality around them. The work is signed by the artist on the back and is an edition of 3 pieces.
