// Fósforo by Jorge Macchi is a limited edition lithograph from 2010, created in an edition of 50 plus artist’s proofs (BAT). The artwork features a single, oversized matchstick with a slightly burned tip, rendered in a minimalist, realistic style against a plain white background. The match is adorned with a small green label at its midpoint, adding a touch of color to the otherwise subdued palette. This simple yet evocative image draws attention to the delicate balance between potential and action, as the match appears both unused and on the verge of ignition. Macchi’s focus on everyday objects imbues them with a sense of contemplation, inviting viewers to consider themes of fragility, impermanence, and latent energy within mundane items.

What is Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
