For the last couple of years he has been revisiting the history of figurative painting and reinventing a form of surrealism for today\u0026rsquo;s viewer. This is an experimental practice requiring visual risk-taking, unprejudiced curiosity for things that tell stories and active disobedience towards the dictatorship of good taste. Di Massimo\u0026rsquo;s recent work eroticises the decorative object, as a three-dimensional prop or as the subject matter for paintings, videos or performances. Sometimes his objects literally come to life, thanks to surreptitious stagecraft.

In de laatste paar jaar is Di Massimo ge\u0026euml;volueerd naar een heel ander soort beeldvorming. Hij blijft teruggrijpen naar de geschiedenis van de figuratieve schilderkunst en gebruikt voortdurend weelderige bekleding en opzichtige visuele effecten. Op die manier is hij begonnen met het heruitvinden van een vorm van surrealisme voor de toeschouwer van vandaag. Dit is een experimentele praktijk die het nemen van visuele risico\u0026rsquo;s, een onbevooroordeelde nieuwsgierigheid voor dingen die verhalen vertellen en een actieve ongehoorzaamheid tegenover de dictatuur van de goede smaak impliceert. In Di Massimo\u0026rsquo;s recente werk wordt het decoratieve object bewust ge\u0026euml;rotiseerd, als een driedimensionaal rekwisiet of als onderwerp voor geschilderde taferelen of digitale manipulatie. Zijn objecten nemen de plaats in van figuren. Soms komen ze, dankzij geraffineerde ensceneringen, letterlijk tot leven.
