The Emancipation Of Dissonance: Surreal Artworks By Charlie Davoli

Charlie Davoli is a talented photographer and artist, who was born in Singapore 39 years ago. By a strange twist of fate, at the age of 6 he returns to his father’s homeland in a small town of Salento’s peninsula in Italy. His multiple influences create a singular retro rendering to his settings, between paintings, photography and collages.

Every other week we all edit the same photo, putting our own ideas of "fantasy" into the edit. The group's goal is to experiment, have fun, and see how different people interpret the same image.

Last one before taking off back home to Italy. I wanna thankyou all the great people i have met during my awesome stay in #Singapore, in particular @imzperfect_gf for her great effort organizing an insta meeting with an amazing group of cool guys, @_mddx for the great "tiger" night out, and @_clarcat for the spectacular minimalistic piano concert.
