A new solo exhibition titled " Olympics home " for the artist to the Greek Tower , James Montanaro . From March 21 to April 12, 2014 will exhibit in the prestigious halls of the PAN , Palazzo delle Arti in Naples .
Milf Olympics is a photographic reportage made ​​of household objects such as the light bulb, the cap, the blade, the bottle. The artist , speaking with his well-known technique " acid on photo paper " creates , with his unmistakable style , figures of athletes who interact with everyday objects . You can admire , in fact, a sumo wrestler who fights with a corkscrew , a ballerina dancing on a razor blade , and so on. The intent is to abandon any false priori knowledge of the world of forms , every injury , every knowledge , to be overwhelmed by the unknown , the dream, the seductive mystery and wonderful art and life , beyond appearances and conventions . The images , at first, seem to obey a conventional formalism , devoid of inflection . The use of the camera is as a means of descriptive and then let your imagination go , always maintaining formal resolution . Images taken bend at the mercy of the artist who uses the software as a hands plasmanti clay. Bursts at a later time with the painting that continues the work of the laboratory of development , does not leave in peace the emulsion continuously , chaotically , lost favor in the superficial layers of shapes and colors. Compared to other previous works is now present the photographic image , with its inherent registration details of daily life. The reality of Giacomo Montanaro has no ambitions or social implications of complaint : he goes to plunder the smaller pictures , family, not as icons in pop art, but frugal , almost banal , everyday . The realism of these images dialectically plasma shamanic energy of his art, does not stop the pulse energy that forces him to dance in the photographic medium , but it involves looking for the holistic connection with the cosmic scheme of things . This emotional tension evoked by the object, which is released as a swollen river in the flick of James Montanaro , it has nothing to do with the so-called " supernatural ." The artist recognizes everything as an energy system itself, within a larger energy system : the object placed on the photographic paper , like everything else , deserves the same kind of respect , each element has a role in great cosmic scheme of things , it evokes new meanings, proposes new Cartesian spaces , have new relationships between things. The Art of James Montanaro creates its own reality different from the modern or postmodern we are used to . The price of social and technological progress that we have experienced, is the definitive separation between man and the everyday . A James Montanaro interested in photo printing as a gateway to a world of energy who wants to experience and live. Everything is alive and personal part of a living cosmos encompassing. This artist has the overcoming of photography as an art form . The photo printing is more mysterious than a simple hessian , is the black hole that connects his soul to a higher world. A Montanaro and his world are not enough empty simulacra of pop art or recovery of materials in an ever-changing scenery and deconstructed as poor art . He is closer to that primitive man who ritually marked the womb of mother earth surrounded by dark gods and spirits than to Keith Haring in which the graffiti is closely linked to the city and the metropolitan anxiety or obsession with serial reproduction . The artist - shaman only takes heal , or at most to survive.
