L’effetto surreale trasporta la rappresentazione in una favola, raccontata da due artisti a metà stupiti dall’uso locale di vivere all’aperto e a metà ironici.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Adèle e Mattis paint a glimpse of an anonymous Sicilian village, but add an oversized utility object floating in midair on the background scenery. The surreal effect transports the representation&nbsp; in a fairy tale, told by two artists wavering between the surprise for the local habit of living in the street and an ironic posture.(bougie) <img width="3969" height="2976" width_o="3969" height_o="2976" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/246790566d0498f894bac0d9115b0a7b450a47244b77a60ea9954b3c7d4f3d5a/TABLEAU.png" data-mid="157333641" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/246790566d0498f894bac0d9115b0a7b450a47244b77a60ea9954b3c7d4f3d5a/TABLEAU.png" /> https://artecontemporaneavaldinoto.com/Graffiti Fri, 21 Oct 2022 14:11:03 +0000 Arte Contemporanea Val di Noto https://artecontemporaneavaldinoto.com/Graffiti GraffitiYann Simenara <img width="2560" height="1440" width_o="2560" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f59ad10d5d35b6cc398014335051c8d9ff431e07fd8b40e4a404ad52a450451b/23470_22_10_23_00_01_57.png" data-mid="156685779" border="0" data-scale="63" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f59ad10d5d35b6cc398014335051c8d9ff431e07fd8b40e4a404ad52a450451b/23470_22_10_23_00_01_57.png" /> <img width="2560" height="1440" width_o="2560" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9b73f91cdedf711b443db6a43554d324c7fae42a03b06ca437bd32b190f2256a/23470_22_10_23_00_02_24.png" data-mid="156685778" border="0" data-scale="43" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9b73f91cdedf711b443db6a43554d324c7fae42a03b06ca437bd32b190f2256a/23470_22_10_23_00_02_24.png" /> <img width="2560" height="1440" width_o="2560" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8aae450dba2b095ebe8d03798332889c1c3c1055576ce28d0484c6730a8c108/23470_22_10_23_00_02_40.png" data-mid="156685777" border="0" data-scale="55" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e8aae450dba2b095ebe8d03798332889c1c3c1055576ce28d0484c6730a8c108/23470_22_10_23_00_02_40.png" /> <img width="2560" height="1440" width_o="2560" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c58a96f41aa9482b7490ce4455539802375af50f42d4202892af9c3eefe5a3af/23470_22_10_23_00_03_04.png" data-mid="156685775" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c58a96f41aa9482b7490ce4455539802375af50f42d4202892af9c3eefe5a3af/23470_22_10_23_00_03_04.png" /> <img width="2560" height="1440" width_o="2560" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/87a3ca9c46ab477d7ab5a891fb3605583be4a2419e9e8bd83b33db1600ee59b2/23470_22_10_23_00_03_13.png" data-mid="156685774" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/87a3ca9c46ab477d7ab5a891fb3605583be4a2419e9e8bd83b33db1600ee59b2/23470_22_10_23_00_03_13.png" /> <img width="2560" height="1440" width_o="2560" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/66502de36496b3e5777810652e7bc57392d3bf89624c77d6b5efbd2d9a8f6e24/23470_22_10_23_00_03_31.png" data-mid="156685772" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/66502de36496b3e5777810652e7bc57392d3bf89624c77d6b5efbd2d9a8f6e24/23470_22_10_23_00_03_31.png" /> <img width="2560" height="1440" width_o="2560" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/333f26f09627827f7fa5240540993bf5c3ce6829072d80c27931c23c3741d707/23470_22_10_23_00_03_43.png" data-mid="156685771" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/333f26f09627827f7fa5240540993bf5c3ce6829072d80c27931c23c3741d707/23470_22_10_23_00_03_43.png" /> <img width="2560" height="1440" width_o="2560" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bcfe0a010379f813731bcfb50108fa038da19419cfcffe7da1ce664d9e7221bb/23470_22_10_23_00_06_22.png" data-mid="156685933" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bcfe0a010379f813731bcfb50108fa038da19419cfcffe7da1ce664d9e7221bb/23470_22_10_23_00_06_22.png" /> Durante il viaggio, gli alunni hanno trascorso alcuni giorni a Milano e a Catania. Lo studente si è interessato alle tag e ai graffiti, che sono molto numerosi in queste città. Utilizzando l'estetica dei cartellini esposti, ha creato un film in stop-motion a partire da disegni che ha incorporato nei muri vuoti di Avola (la sua città di soggiorno) presi in precedenza.&nbsp; During their trip, the pupils spent a few days in Milan and Catania. This student was impressed by the many tags and graffiti he saw in these cities.

Si è quindi concentrata sui gestori di questi camion, per saperne di più sulle loro abitudini di lavoro, sui loro clienti e sui loro prodotti.&nbsp; In Sicily, Trinité Travaillé was surprised by the number of itinerant trucks selling fruit, vegetables, ice cream, and other products.

Pittura, dunque, come idea esperienziale della realtà, che matura nella concretezza del suo farsi. Nella sua opera, figura poetica ricorrente è la soglia intesa come metamorfosi, confluenza, attraversamento e ‘scaturigine’, luogo e tempo in cui le tensioni dialettiche diventano, fissandosi, percepibili e coincidenti. “Il suo lavoro sulla pittura, analitico e neomoderno, scaturisce dall’intenzione ideale di concentrare in precisi cromatismi astratti e nelle campiture geometriche non tanto la categoria della razionalità quanto quella più vasta del proprio vissuto” (Marco Meneguzzo). Tradotto nella meditazione poetica dell’artista, “non bastano le parole per dire blu, oro, nero, luce...sono lingua i colori, vedere è discorso, dipingere è cogliere la relazione, comprendere è legame, consegnare al tempo quello che vedo nella forma di quello che si vedrà...sono pasto e fame questi colori, sanno come incontrarsi e lasciarsi, dimenticare ogni promessa e attesa, essere tradimento e stupore liberatori” courtesy l’artista &nbsp; &nbsp; ︎ Anastasio’s work combines the matter feeling with spatial analysis in a paining practice that is both cognitive and operational. “Each work adds world to world, widens its boundaries, making further facets of reality visible”. Thus, painting as an experiential idea of reality, whose maturing takes place through its doing. By the recurring poetic image of the threshold, Anastasio evokes metamorphoses, confluences, crossings,&nbsp;spaces and times where dialectic tensions settle, thus becoming perceivable and coincident. “His painting practice, analytical and neo-modern, arises out of the ideal aim of focusing on precise abstract chromatisms and the geometric background not so much the rationality criterion as the wider dimensionof his own living experience” (Marco Meneguzzo). Translated into Anastasio’s lyric telling, “words do not suffice to say blu, gold, black, light... colours are language, to see is discourse, painting is catching the relationship, understanding is linking, delivering to time what I am seeing in the shape of what will be seen later on...are food and hunger these colours, they know how to meet and to split up, how to forget all promises and expectations, and to be cathartic infidelity and waiting”. courtesy the artist <img width="6117" height="4078" width_o="6117" height_o="4078" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a8d0924cc36a7eacfcfc34aadac7de61a2e07546d32fb0799f518793ffd38877/2024_a_G_ANASTASIO_Guardiani_.JPG" data-mid="219467983" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a8d0924cc36a7eacfcfc34aadac7de61a2e07546d32fb0799f518793ffd38877/2024_a_G_ANASTASIO_Guardiani_.JPG" /><img width="4034" height="6051" width_o="4034" height_o="6051" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eca9fe2e7625f04805f7bb127d49207890bf25a19d0d566c996a6ea7ed732e53/2024_c_G_ANASTASIO_Guardiani.JPG" data-mid="219467984" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/eca9fe2e7625f04805f7bb127d49207890bf25a19d0d566c996a6ea7ed732e53/2024_c_G_ANASTASIO_Guardiani.JPG" /> ︎ https://artecontemporaneavaldinoto.com/PAOLO-ANGELOSANTO Sun, 13 Oct 2024 17:39:05 +0000 Arte Contemporanea Val di Noto https://artecontemporaneavaldinoto.com/PAOLO-ANGELOSANTO PAOLO ANGELOSANTO (Saint Denis - FR 1972) vive e lavora a Graffignano (VT) - IT lives and works in Graffignano (VT) - IT Butterfly (autoritratto del mio lato destro) 1999/2000 plotter painting su legno e resina Ø 48.5 Butterfly (self-portrait of my right side) 1999/2000 plotter painting on wood and resin Ø 48.5 <img width="3240" height="2160" width_o="3240" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/df6fb3822db4cc98a55f8f9d983a03f58db79fbdbdd8b5933f1dad77a94684a8/2024_a_P_ANGELOSANTO_Butterfly_JPG.JPG" data-mid="219682006" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/df6fb3822db4cc98a55f8f9d983a03f58db79fbdbdd8b5933f1dad77a94684a8/2024_a_P_ANGELOSANTO_Butterfly_JPG.JPG" />In oltre trent’anni di attività, l’artista ha peculiarmente intrecciato performance, installazioni, disegno, ready made, fotografia, usando il suo corpo come soggetto-oggetto di elaborazione critica di rituali e miti collettivi, socio-economici, politici, religiosi e di identità di genere. Mediata da un’accurata messinscena iconografica formale, l’opera sprigiona un messaggio nitido quanto composto, invitando a decodificare il sacro e il profano senza complessi e rivelandone incoerenze, falsità, o perfino abusi e violenze, con un linguaggio apparentemente imperturbabile, ma proprio per questo capace di smontare radicalmente i personaggi, o eventi, rappresentati. Con un’ironia seria quanto implacabile, e spaziando dalla religione, alle convenzioni sentimentali e sessuali borghesi, alla mafia e alla tragedia delle migrazioni, Angelosanto non manca un bersaglio, compreso se stesso, esprimendo in fondo la convinzione di una responsabilità universale, antropologica e dichiarandosi uomo fra gli uomini, inquisitore e inquisito. L’osservatore è quindi chiamato al coinvolgimento e attraverso di esso alla presa di coscienza che risveglio e azione sono funzioni dell’arte altrettanto cruciali della contemplazione estetica. courtesy collezione privata http://www.paoloangelosanto.com ︎ Throughout more than 30 years, the artist has peculiarly intertwined performance, installation, drawing, ready made, photography, using his body as the subject-object of a critical processing of&nbsp; socio-economic, political, religious, and gender identity, myths and rituals. Within an accurate formal-iconographic mise-en-scene, his work conveys a clear, as well as composed, message, an invitation to unscramble the sacred and the profane and to unveil their inconsistencies, falseness, or even abuses and violence, by a language that, though seemingly imperturbable, brings about a radical dismantling of the represented subjects or events. By his serious as well as implacable ironic attitude, Angelosanto doesn’t miss a target, including he himself, out of the basic belief that responsibility is a ubiquitous, anthropologic, concern, and that artists are nothing but men among men, both the inquirers and the inquired. Visitors are thus urged to engage themselves and to realize that their own awakening and action are as crucial to art fruition as aesthetic contemplation. courtesy private collectionhttp://www.paoloangelosanto.com <img width="3240" height="2160" width_o="3240" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/59d0852b7dc6132b655eb166ef5d0a440360edd1389046aacfc39967e2eb875a/2024_b_P_ANGELOSANTO_Butterfly_.JPG" data-mid="219682007" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/59d0852b7dc6132b655eb166ef5d0a440360edd1389046aacfc39967e2eb875a/2024_b_P_ANGELOSANTO_Butterfly_.JPG" /> <img width="3240" height="2160" width_o="3240" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c582aa79fe385b8bd9f58ab680d78862784fd0f7d6d279692220f4c7b449ad29/2024_c_P_ANGELOSANTO_Butterfly_.JPG" data-mid="219682008" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c582aa79fe385b8bd9f58ab680d78862784fd0f7d6d279692220f4c7b449ad29/2024_c_P_ANGELOSANTO_Butterfly_.JPG" /> ︎ https://artecontemporaneavaldinoto.com/Matteo-Attruia-1 Sat, 21 Sep 2024 10:23:57 +0000 Arte Contemporanea Val di Noto https://artecontemporaneavaldinoto.com/Matteo-Attruia-1 MATTEO ATTRUIA (Italia) vive e lavora dappertutto &nbsp; lives and works everywhere We____Me (Welcome) - 2022 lightbox edizione di 3 290x50x240 We____Me (Welcome) - 2022 lightbox 1 out of 3 eds. 290x50x240 <img width="1440" height="2160" width_o="1440" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c74756ba51fee7cbfbc08696932d89957d3219a8e69ec0608e49a8fa1fa67fff/2024_M_ATTRUIA_S_VINCI_Welcome_Crisi_JPG.JPG" data-mid="219508866" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c74756ba51fee7cbfbc08696932d89957d3219a8e69ec0608e49a8fa1fa67fff/2024_M_ATTRUIA_S_VINCI_Welcome_Crisi_JPG.JPG" /> “Nella produzione di Attruia è ricorrente l’impiego della parola scritta, sotto forma di neon, insegna luminosa, targa commemorativa o cartello stradale. In ciascuno di questi impieghi le opere non sono dotate di un’estetica propria e originale, ma riprendono le stesse caratteristiche grafiche e dimensionali di dispositivi che già esistono e possiedono una funzione. L’uso della sua parola - potremmo dire - si sovrappone alla realtà degli oggetti e ne è in qualche modo la parafrasi non ordinaria, frutto di un pensiero laterale, derivativo e deviante”. Ne risulta una girandola di paradossi, il cui registro tragicomico si modula di volta in volta diversamente: sardonico, ironico, polemico, caustico, radicale ma altrettanto lieve. Mutilando il termine convenzionale che significa l’accoglienza e la socializzazione, We____Me genera una proliferazione semantica che, lungi dall’attenuare il significato del messaggio, lo estremizza (e lo ridicolizza) al limite dell’identificazione del (pronome) collettivo con il (pronome personale. La comunicazione è così rivoltata in sberleffo, in una serietà sorridente che, come in altre opere, “mostra e denuncia alcuni degli inganni che l’apparenza, il pensiero ordinario e il rispetto pedissequo delle gerarchie gnoseologiche possono tenderci”. Daniele Capra courtesy l’artista www.matteoattruia.com ︎ “Attruia’s works usually employ words as written on neons, light signs, memorial tablets, traffic signs. Such works don’t carry an original, own aesthetics, but resume the very same graphics and size features of already existing devices and their functions. In&nbsp; doing so - it would be said - the artist overlays his word onto the real objects, thus giving it the role of a kind of not ordinary paraphrase, out of a lateral, derivative, and deviant thought”. This feeds a whirlwind of paradoxes, whose tragicomic record takes time and again different nuances: sardonic, ironic, polemical, pungent, radical, albeit always light.&nbsp; By maiming the conventional word for acceptance and socialization, We----Me engenders a semantic proliferation that, far from weakening the content of the message, extremes (and thus ridicules) it by identifying the collective (pronoun) with the singular (pronoun). The communication is so turned into mockery, a smiley seriousness that “expounds and complains some of the trickeries that appearance, the common sense, and a slavish deference to gnoseological hierarchies, may deliver”.

Osservatore acuto, il suo lavoro solleva questioni cruciali sulla società, le istituzioni e in primo luogo il suo pubblico. Puntando il suo specchio senza veli sulla società, la pone davanti alle proprie consuetudini e disfunzioni inveterate. Anche se molte delle sue opere sono di tipo ready-made, un equilibrio complesso si cela sotto l’apparenza della semplicità. Artista e alchimista, Baba-Ali confronta e rimescola tecnologia, oggetti, suono, video e fotografia con tematiche ecologiche, sociali, politiche. Ne risultano lavori che spingono discretamente e inconsapevolmente l’osservatore a prendere posizione. Baba-Ali non schiva la controversia, la dialettica fra la sua arte e le sue ragioni e il contesto nel quale opera. Contesto e dialogo con il pubblico ne sono anzi la forma più propria, e quest’arte interventista e a volte dirompente finisce coll’infondere una postura ironica in rapporto a se stessi e all’ambiente. Baba-Ali espone dilemmi e tabù e sfida la gente alla (re)azione. Così facendo, la rende sua complice di atti di guerriglia artistica comuni all’establishment e all’uomo della strada.courtesy collezione privatawww.younesbabaali.com &nbsp; &nbsp; ︎ Younes Baba-Ali makes art that is unconventional, intelligent and critical, mostly in public space or places uncommon to art practice. He is a sharp observer and raises pertinent questions aimed at society, the institution and above all, his audience. As a free thinker he holds a mirror up to society and confronts it with its ingrained habits and dysfunctions. Baba-Ali’s work often assumes the form of the readymade, but underneath its facade of simplicity there is a complex exercise in balance at work. As an artist-alchemist he measures and mixes technology, objects, sound, video and photography with political, social and ecological issues. The resulting installations discreetly coerce the unsuspecting viewer into taking a stand. Baba-Ali shuns no controversy and often finds himself negotiating his art and its rationale with his environment. His works are context-specific and take their final form in dialogue with the spectators. This at times disruptive intervention art confronts the viewer in an ironical way with himself and his environment. Baba-Ali presents people dilemmas and taboos and challenges them to (re)act. In this way he makes them his accomplices in acts of artistic guerrilla that unite the establishment and the common man. courtesy private collection www.younesbabaali.com <img width="5184" height="3888" width_o="5184" height_o="3888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f942c3c16ab7bce1318de844e3a8e3660519fdf9a3b89f26294486ff185cd7c3/P1010562.JPG" data-mid="218425162" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f942c3c16ab7bce1318de844e3a8e3660519fdf9a3b89f26294486ff185cd7c3/P1010562.JPG" /> <img width="3888" height="5184" width_o="3888" height_o="5184" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d72afcd619114327697cd2d05429f0b9688c4802a4fa0794847d5d73e9c35f25/P1010570.JPG" data-mid="218425161" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d72afcd619114327697cd2d05429f0b9688c4802a4fa0794847d5d73e9c35f25/P1010570.JPG" /> ︎ https://artecontemporaneavaldinoto.com/Francesco-Balsamo-2 Sat, 21 Sep 2024 09:44:31 +0000 Arte Contemporanea Val di Noto https://artecontemporaneavaldinoto.com/Francesco-Balsamo-2 FRANCESCO BALSAMO (Catania&nbsp; -&nbsp; IT&nbsp; 1969) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; vive e lavora a Catania - IT &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; lives and works in Catania - IT “Qualcosa che fermi una nuvola” - 2023 installazione fotografie, oggetti personali dimensioni site specific “Something to stop a cloud” - 2023 installation photos, personal belongings site specific size <img width="3888" height="5184" width_o="3888" height_o="5184" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4d8c47f7280693e4ff71575ae4b2e996e670ea55e0dbe9867d5843c7a1d641d1/tableau-site15-copie-balsamo.png" data-mid="218425164" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4d8c47f7280693e4ff71575ae4b2e996e670ea55e0dbe9867d5843c7a1d641d1/tableau-site15-copie-balsamo.png" /> di nascosto le nuvole si passano case e si passano anche tralicci e strade con il loro tocco interiore ci allacciano gli uni agli altri e sbadigliano lentamente mentre reggono sulle gambe incerte la terra courtesy l’artista e Galleria Gianluca Collica and Partners, Cataniawww.collicandpartners.it <img width="5184" height="3888" width_o="5184" height_o="3888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6d262e5abd6d26d5ab692a738bb8996c6083bcf18d24b2af7ef3bfd76bbc2809/P1010596.JPG" data-mid="218425166" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6d262e5abd6d26d5ab692a738bb8996c6083bcf18d24b2af7ef3bfd76bbc2809/P1010596.JPG" /> <img width="5184" height="3888" width_o="5184" height_o="3888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5fbee0b0f8de41ff673153a2750e8d0d80222edd18e00171f787cfbc36565247/P1010006.JPG" data-mid="218425167" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5fbee0b0f8de41ff673153a2750e8d0d80222edd18e00171f787cfbc36565247/P1010006.JPG" /> <img width="3888" height="5184" width_o="3888" height_o="5184" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4cbf92c31e02f371f867962536dc377e13c05a9ca879369fb2ffd9cf0e9d149d/P1010601.JPG" data-mid="218425165" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4cbf92c31e02f371f867962536dc377e13c05a9ca879369fb2ffd9cf0e9d149d/P1010601.JPG" /> ︎ https://artecontemporaneavaldinoto.com/Priscilla-Beccari Sat, 21 Sep 2024 09:44:53 +0000 Arte Contemporanea Val di Noto https://artecontemporaneavaldinoto.com/Priscilla-Beccari PRISCILLA BECCARI (San Marino&nbsp; -&nbsp; SM&nbsp; 1986) vive e lavora a Parigi - FR e Bruxelles - BE lives and works in Paris - FR and Bruxelles - BE La Caduta - 2021 installazionedisegno a inchiostro di china sucarta verniciata 700x100 ciascuno Fall - 2021 installation indian ink drawing on painted paper 700x100 each <img width="4128" height="6192" width_o="4128" height_o="6192" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fcfbf664b5474039717d2fbcb5d756bd8992d78f5cdfcd3a15c2e7ce61b6b869/2024_a_P_BECCARI_LaCaduta_.PG.JPG" data-mid="219508906" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fcfbf664b5474039717d2fbcb5d756bd8992d78f5cdfcd3a15c2e7ce61b6b869/2024_a_P_BECCARI_LaCaduta_.PG.JPG" /> Priscilla Beccari è un’artista poliedrica, che si esprime con il video, la scultura, iinstallazioni, fotografia, performances, disegno e anche musica, insieme a Mono Siren, un duo sperimentale electrosynth. Nel 2017, ha rappresentato la Repubblica di San Marino alla Biennale di Venezia. Nel suo curriculum, numerose mostre personali e collettive a Parigi, Bruxelles (in particolare, presso la fondazione Bogossian), Mexico City, Lima.Nell’opera in mostra, un cavaliere, il cavallo, il frustino e il cappello cadono...L’altezza vertiginosa e il grande formato della banda di carta magnificano la caduta e non lasciano dubbi su quello che sta accadendo. Un tema, peraltro, altre volte affrontato dall’artista, che ama porre i suoi soggetti in posizioni innaturali, anzi contro natura (poichè il cavaliere perde evidentemente terreno, e non domina più dall’alto del cavallo). Con questo, Beccari si prende gioco dei comuni criteri visivi, forse per denunciare una perdita di prospettiva della nostra società. Eppure, il personaggio non appare turbato, e il cavallo sembra cavalcare&nbsp; disinvoltamente, anziché precipitare. Caduta? Rovesciamento? Scivolamento nel sogno? O da uno stato all’altro? Liberazione? Nathalie Dereymaeker courtesy l’artista https://priscillabeccari.com/ &nbsp; &nbsp; ︎ Priscilla Beccari is a poliedric artist who works with video, sculpture, installations, photography, performances, drawing, and even&nbsp;music, as she cooperates with Mono Siren, an experimental electro synth duo. In 2017, she represented the Republic of San Marino atVenice Biennale. Her cv counts many solo and collective shows in Paris, Brussels, first and foremost at Bogossian foundation, Mexico City and Lima. In the shown work, a knight, his horse, the whip, and the hat are falliing...The vertiginous height and the huge paper size emphasize the fall effect, and don’t leave any doubt on what is passing on. Besides, it’s not the first time that Beccari deals&nbsp; with the fall topic, and gives her subjects unnatural, or even counter natural, postures&nbsp; (since the knight is loosing ground and no longer overcomes the horse). In so doing, the artist plays with our visual conventions, aiming perhaps at denouncing our societies loss of perspective. And yet the subject doesn’t look troubled, and the horse even seems riding downhill. A fall? A reversal? The slipping into the dream? The passing from one state to the next? Or a liberation?
