Commedia dell'Arte in Crimea 2012

"Commedia dell'Arte in Crimea" is a 2012 photo-collage by Arsen Savadov that depicts a whimsical seaside scene. The work features a cast of characters in sailor costumes, a large, white, classical sculpture of a human torso, and a collection of beach-related objects, including a lifebuoy, an anchor, and a boat. Savadov uses a blend of photographic elements and collage to create a humorous and surreal composition that evokes the playful spirit of the commedia dell'arte. The artwork is rich with details and invites the viewer to contemplate the artist's exploration of the relationship between art, performance, and everyday life.
