VORTICE APOTROPAICO

Painting, Sacred / Mythological, Fantasy / Visionary, Mixed technique, 100x60cm
Apotropaic The adjective is usually attributed to an object or person acts to avert, avert evil influences or cancel. There is talk of apotropaic rite or gesture. Worldwide
literature has assumed the character of a ritual that drives away evil. Nietzsche argued that decency exists wherever there is a mystery, and that in this case the "apotropaic function" of modesty is in fact remove the fear of the mysterious object.
The series "Visions apotropaic" wants to stretch the possible removal of this fear through the numbing sense of art.

L'arte anestetizza ma apre anche nuove possibilita' di interpretazione..per questo io trovo l'arte consolante: nessuno ci potra' mai dire che abbiamo sbagliato giudicando un'opera perche' ognuno puo' vederci qualcosa di diverso e anche aggiungerci qualcosa di diverso. Grazie Chiara il tuo vortice e' magnetico!!

VORTICE APOTROPAICO is conceptually and pictorially engaging. A lot seems to be going on in the deceptively and seemingly simple composition.Cheers! Aloha, Masami Teraoka
