The eyes have it, they say, and as the eyes of Enzo Casale's creations bore out from the paper, one could be forgiven for thinking, for just a moment, that these are sentient beings living their lives in the two dimensional planes of their painted worlds. Italian fashion designer and artist Enzo Casale is a master of expressions. After a childhood spent drawing on the paper tablecloths of his parent's restaurant, Enzo has established himself as an artist, illustrator, and designer. His creations are strong, bold entities; barely chromatic, Enzo places his works in the shade where they none the less burn with an undeniable, indefinable intensity.
Ethnicity is blurred in Enzo's pieces, his fabricated subjects hail from no particular place, yet carry the characteristics of us all. Blended in each face is the possibility of unity, of a single origin, or perhaps of a single goal. There is a great coming together in these pieces, the works of a new Italian Master.
