“Umane genti”: the exhibition of daniele spisa

Telling about the “Human People”, as the title of this exhibition states, is the rguiding thread of Daniele Spisa’s art. People reading a newspaper in subway cars, or sitting in a car, putting on their makeup in the mirror; others on the train, in a motorway restaurant, or still posing for the family photo, or in a waiting room, waiting for their turn. The meaning of Spisa’s work is in a painting that looks at people, not at nature or things: the artist’s real interest lies in the normality of everyday life and in the stories that arise from the images, imprint themselves in the eyes of the beholder, supported by a strong artistic personality. A force that animates the canvases, opening narrative paths supported by poses, objects, color and light to the viewer’s thought, to creative investigation.

inaugurazione sabato 7 Marzo - ore 17

La mente irrequieta di Valerio Comparini porta alla ribalta i figuranti della provincia le storie buffe e un po’ amare di personaggi qualunque, che probabilmente non ambivano nemmeno a metterci a conoscenza dei loro difetti e delle loro banalissime storie. E invece eccoli su un piedistallo, come se avessero deciso, con un “colpo di stato”, di abbattere i monumenti dedicati ai grandi eroi, ai personaggi importanti, per prendere nottetempo il loro posto, per venire alla ribalta a raccontarci le loro personalissime e un po’ scottanti verità. La forma sembra quella classica della vignetta pubblicata su un giornale, le teste sovradimensionate, i caratteri decisamente accentuati, come se l’artista avesse preso a un certo punto i suoi schizzi e li avesse ingranditi fino ad assumere l’importanza di un quadro, andando ad enfatizzare ancora di più le imperfezioni”
