To K. and L.
"the metal years" |
2020 was a weird year for various global reasons
personally, my household was shook when I failed at breaking my knee (middle of collage) soon after, I turned into a maniac, performing tricks and complicated choreographies with the crutches
nonetheless I spent the last leg (ha) of the year crawling on the floor or jumping around on one foot when my mom confiscated the crutches for improper use
"Bones 02" |
Bob told everyone I was so smart I could have been a doctor and suddently, all the familiar eyes at the Christmas dinner table turned to me. Their piercing pupils yelling " you selfish freak, you could be saving lives right now but chose to paint on walls instead ?"
Bob percieved my difficulty, I couldn't bare the sight of all that uneaten food because of my selfish ways. So he came to the rescue and added " no, no I mean one of those doctors that cut corpses open !! "
few seconds of silence then everybody laughed, relieved that what they always thought of me was right: I am just dumb
first three paintings: acrylic and spray paint on paper
the big piece at the bottom: spraypaint on plexiglass
"Bob & eye" |
digital collage of a picture of my burning eye and Bob spraypainted on amazon cardboards
I graduated in etching and printmaking which is a very peculiar and expensive endeavor, one of those you need a lab to carry out.
drawing is relatively cheap instead
so enjoy some cheap art from the 20 below
these are the last paintings I did before leaving Urbino, lots of bones, flesh, guts and crusts
top left, top right and bottom right: acrylics on plexiglass;
the distorted face is a digital edit I did of my face;
bottom left is all that's wrong with gravity and indelible ink when they meet. On the corner, on the left of the picture, there's the fine art I was painting on the door.
in the center there are some patches I made that summer
if you like them and want one, write me. I'll repeat that in eyetalian for my eyetalian friends: SE VOLETE UNA TOPPA, SCRIVETEMI
This was a shooting I did with Tafanovaginite for Riot Grrrl Reviews.
