About this artwork
Winner of First Prize at the 2025 Giotto International Visual Arts Award.
The painting denounces the indifference of modern society in the face of global tragedies.
A relaxed viewer eats a hamburger and watches a news broadcast about the war, holding a remote control with his thumb on the mute button, a symbol of the apathy of those who observe tragic events from a privileged vantage point. The war becomes a distant spectacle, devoid of real impact.…
The bullet-splattered fries and blood-like ketchup create a visual short circuit, representing the connection between consumerism and war, transforming food into a metaphor for unconscious participation in global violence. The viewer doesn't simply watch, but "ingests" the war, recalling the way some Western economies benefit from conflicts elsewhere.
The painting invites us to reflect on our distance from tragedies and our role in a system that normalizes war.

United Kingdom
Angelo Asaro, an Italian artist based in London, combines his engineering training and international experience in a refined pictorial language. He experiments with a style of painting that blends figurative realism and symbolism within rigorous compositional structures, giving rise to what he calls Noetic Surrealism.
His works explore themes such as identity, time, memory and the fragility of existence, giving shape to existential questions that remain imprinted in the viewer's mind as mysterious internal resonances.
His research has been recognized with several international awards and has been presented in important contemporary art contexts, including the Florence, London, and Milan Biennales. At the Venice Biennale, his work was presented through a critical synopsis at the Grenada Pavilion. Asaro was also included in the Atlas of Contemporary Art, presented at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
