The poetics of Peppe Denaro, artist "neo - informal"

Peppe Denaro (1974, Mazara del Vallo, TP) is an extremely versatile artist, whose artistic production, his own creative path, finds expression in three different modes of expression, painting, digital and frottage, with mode at the time more detached, in the comic. But first things first and begin to delineate the figure of Money from his cultural background, with his degree in 2004 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo, where he had both the opportunity to experiment with new ways of artistic language, putting into practice as had already been able to express past successful conception and to develop a theoretical level his interest in the French philosophers confluent in the 60s in the movement of the Nouvelle Vague, which will then enroll at the faculty of Letters and Philosophy of Palermo, where she graduated in 2013 (110 cum laude).

Coming to the specific of his creations, in December of '92 creates a comic that signed with the pseudonym Makuta, not yet published, in the style of cartoon and verging on the grotesque, while in January of '93 began the era of painting with the painting Self-portrait, to be followed by a series of paintings aniconistic. In February 2000 is the era of conceptual art, which makes installation and assemblage Travel nell'Eutopia Saturday night, followed the next year's performance Burqua-Yankee and installation The end of the journey. In January 2002, he returned to painting with the series Pets and in May 2008 he received an assignment, as a painter and sculptor, from the Diocese of Mazara del Vallo d is on this occasion that Money takes on the "journey" in the art digital , gradually perfecting the technique of Frottage, which, simplifying, consists of a superposition of pictures (taken by the artist, taken from the web) featuring fragments of works of art or urban locations / industrial.

Currently, the above technique has had the opportunity to actually take part of the exhibition Fragments in the Mist, where stands the artist's desire to create "worlds composites", using his own words, "and post-apocalyptic scenarios where atomic coexist, combined together, bits of wreckage with urban culture ", a" different world "refuge" pollution mass media "and from that 'prevailing cultural oblivion that now has come to prevail over the collective memory. Topics that will come back with the most intimate and autobiographical tone, however, in the next exhibition Cyber R03;R03;Vanitas, composed of seven works that the title refers to a certain subculture of the 80s, according to the author more relevant than ever. Surely a rather personal one undertaken by Denaro, between painting, drawing and digital art, capable of giving a vivid display to decadence, cultural, first, of our society.
