Santificazione della modernità
Painting, Political / Social, Oil, 60x80cm
The subject is that of man's portrait in bourgeois suits, the face however it is that of the world with its mountainous chains, its desert depressions and its dolines among the tones of the complexion.
Around the face, inflicted, as nails of a martyrdom, the scratch them to us of the power. The disposition recalls an aureole that, as for the face of a saint, it makes visible and delivery to the devotion and the cult of the believers the testimony of an exemplum to be imitated.
The painting evokes the “sanctification” of the modernity and at the same time it allows to realize its risks.
The line of the horizon divides the painting in diagonal, it is perceived so behind our man an expanse of water that confuses him with the sky, serious and incumbent in its uniformity.
But the atmosphere, apparently stable and immovable, is suddenly lacerated by a red tear as a wound that upsets the situation ex shutters.
How not to think about the effects of the terrestrial overheating, to the consequences on the environment of the frantic human activity so well synthesized in the line “to peak” engraved on the surface of the scratch? An electrocardiogram of the world?
