Lorenzo Alessandri (Turin, 1927 – Turin, 2000) was an Italian painter, a prominent figure in Neo-Surrealism and fantastic art of the second half of the twentieth century. His career is inextricably linked to the 1964 founding of the Surfanta group (Surrealism and Fantasy), through which he promoted a return to figurative painting of a dreamlike nature, in opposition to the trends of Art Informel. His works are characterized by a suspended and metaphysical atmosphere, populated by enigmatic figures, impossible architectures, and recurring symbols such as the tower, the wayfarer, and the egg. They are created with a meticulous technique that draws from the tradition of the Flemish and Renaissance masters. Throughout his long artistic career, he exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad, receiving significant recognition. Among his most significant participations was the Venice Biennale. Today, his canvases are held in prestigious public and private collections, testifying to his unique contribution to Italian fantastic art.
