Buzelli is something of a modern day Hieronymus Bosch. His paintings and
illustrations often depict a future where the hubris and self-destructive
tendencies of civilization have ruinous results. Bosch warned against sexual
immorality and sin and its devastating consequences in the afterlife in his
colorful, whimsical, and horrific paintings. Buzelli is more concerned with the
environmental and social consequences of our actions. In an illustration called
“China’s Ignorance” for Global Brief Magazine, Buzelli takes on the topic of
over-fishing and the consumption of resources; in another illustration called
“Toxic Secrets,” a demon is depicted as having a smog-spewing factory for a
head. Like Bosch, his colorful palette and playful characters belie the dark
messages being conveyed. Buzelli’s work can be seen in exhibitions,
publications, books, and advertisements throughout the world.
