"Vanitas Se-ducere" in Bergamo, a collective.
I write, I write and write for many artists. Many will disappear in a few months, others maybe not even worth the trouble and an equal rather than beyond what could be their fate, they deserved much more important than my words.

I have no preconceptions, I like the art in the round. I appreciate the idea and work, by whatever means of expression and media monitoring is carried out, although I admit I have a particular fondness for painting. That painted. 
The problem is that I find less and less truly gifted artists from this point of view. But some still satisfies my palate and makes an excellent: Giuseppe Bombaci. Now, this fine artist from Sicily, will co-star and will be in good company, in this collective Bergamo entitled "Se-ducere Veritas." The theme is once again the relationship between life and death. An argument for too many already used but I never solved, and then to be honest once again investigated.
Una mostra da vedere, anzi da non perdere!

The man is always confronted with the finitude of her body, the theme of Vanitas applicant was already in ancient Greece. Dances macabre medieval baroque compositions, the Vanitas has a meaning closely related to religion, is an admonition to sin. The precariousness of life is expressed through the use of still life in which you enter the symbolic elements. Typical symbols of
a Vanitas sono il teschio, come memento mori, la clessidra e la candela che si consuma ad indicare il passare del tempo, fiori appassiti, frutti maturi che alludono ai piaceri effimeri e bolle di sapone che indicano la leggerezza umana. Il proliferare di questo tema è strettamente correlato al senso di precarietà che investì l'Europa in seguito alla guerra dei trent'anni e al dilagare della peste. Dal Settecento la Vanitas assume connotazioni meno moraleggianti, diventando sempre più una personale riflessione dell'artista sull'effimera condizione dell'esistenza.
L'attuale società, attraversata da crisi spirituali, economiche, politiche ha progressivamente cercato di eliminare la morte. Oggi, the memento mori (remember you must die) could be read to the contrary, remember that you must not die. Scientific progress gives us an illusion of immortality, but the fear of the remains and try to exorcise them. The symbols of the transience of life, especially the skull, comes back with new strength so much so that in contemporary fashion, design, cinema if they are appropriate proportion. Perhaps to exorcise the fear of death makes glam or even ridiculing ... In this exhibition, eight artists will discuss the theme of Vanitas by presenting different points of view. Margaret Leoni inserts a small skull red blood between the branches of a lush nature that man destroys, to indicate the fragility of human nature and plants, which are inextricably linked. Daniel Marks also highlights the difficult balance of nature by creating man-anthropomorphic sculptures in PET (the plastic used for water bottles), reflecting the scarcity of natural resources and human capacity to survive environmental changes.
Gianluca Chiodi does this through a series of portraits in which the protagonists are the supreme human being and his alter-ego, in this case the skull that questions about life and death.

Gianni Cuomo highlights the fragility of human relationships increasingly linked to the immateriality of the technology, reflecting on this occasion a sum considerations related to the rejection of the void left by the vanitas, spirit bound to organic matter and the mystery that awaits us beyond. Stefania Migliorati in the series "Toys" use surgical instruments to create toys, these objects are expressions of fear of death that we try to keep under control through the medicalization of our bodies. Claudio Destito desecrating it displaces the "death penalty" and reversing the direction with the irony of his usual wordplay, Joseph Bombaci is fascinated by the remnants of the human being still life inspired by the classical reinterpreted in a contemporary way. Luca Beolchi plunges us into an intimate, fairy-tale, where the dream creates several possible worlds. info@galleriamarelia.it
