Biography
Simona La Matina's artworks, a Sicilian artist, tell us about a perfectly contemporary universe. They tell us about plays, pains and solitude of manhood opposite of a reality which acknowledges with no knowledge.
(...) Disorientation we perceive from her artworks representing children facing huge metropolis. Wrecked expressionist's architectures similar to Ridley Scott's Blade Runner nightmares. A place wew skyscrapers bed towards a possibly frightened, possibly unawaew little child.
Observers will perceive the Artist's recurrent and surreal immobility among man and nature.(...) The urban scene, it is nonsense which blinds and confuses. An ambiguity that we will never be allowed to define as bravery or recklessness.
Simona's art gives us uneasiness far beyond a simple image. It surprises, it forces the observer to remark, from a different perspective, the recurrent doubts the western young generations have to face every single day. Questions and doubts which are natural follow-ups of the continuous mutations of a reality that has already undergo substantial changes.
Her work compels to face the doubts, the fears, the incertitude of an unfamiliar reality by now. It defies us for success and at the same time it gives us fear of being strangers in our reality. A place where no new is accepted, where manhodd, nature, youth and future still do not harmoniously blend.
