The ART and ARTS Gallery presents the solo exhibition by Enrico T. De
Paris (born in Mel Belluno in 1960). All the works on show are part
of
the artists 2002 collection and relate to human behaviour as a stage
in
the development of the themes dealt with by the artist in recent times.
The works by E. T. De Paris testify a new sensitivity towards cosmic
dynamics and, consequently, towards the mystery of the human
being. This
form of investigation means that the artists work must also evolve:
his
paintings are characterised by fluid, abstract and three-dimensional
areas
in terms of composition as well as colour, and he experiments with
heterogeneous materials such as aluminium, silicone, wood, plastic,
blown
glass, and even embraces the concepts of digital imaging. All this
blends
to generate the sensitive side of reality.
SPAZIO MODIFICATO a series of works shut inside Plexiglas show-cases.
These cases define a space with clear boundaries, a barrier that
ideologically belongs to us. When it does not exist materially, it
exists
psychologically or, worse, intellectually.
Man keeps building a pyramid society in which few know and make the
decisions for all, where few want to grow with the community that
surrounds them .imperfection!..or perhaps human perfection?
MAPPA a series of paintings in which the metropolitan grid becomes the
sky
where everything floats in a mental rather than material space. The grid
is an organic, electronic, interior structure, a multiple vision, at
optical as well as spiritual level: a complex, ironic, paradoxical plot
designed to attract and hold the spectators attention.
CELLULE ABITATIVE a series of works that use the technique of blown
glass
to exasperate a globular space, reproducing surface tension on the one
hand (GLOBAL) and constrictive tension on the other (LOCAL).
Glass is used as an immaterial material, like a false realty, wrapped
inside an infinite circle of time.
These are the titles of the series of works on show. As Mr. De Paris
explained: "For many years my work has consisted in representing
PARTS of
worlds, where everything co-exists at the same time; there are no
clearly-defined spaces in time and everything slides between different
levels, near and far coincide, points of view change, perspectives annul
one another, paradox and irony are thus the basis of the
message-experience: to bring the ordinary man into contact with the
sensitivity needed to approach the chaotic world that surrounds us.
These scenes represent energy and positiveness in relation to the
creative
power of evolution and the hidden potential of human beings".
"It will be lovely to invent NEW METAPHORS to describe the new planet,
not
only as our home but also as our body", said the artist in relation
to
this evolution of his language.
"Man as the synthesis of disordered pulsations.loving nature with
a mind
to the future".
The exhibition is supported by a catalogue, catalogue features comments
by
the artist and a critical-chronological analysis from 1990 to the
present
day by LUCA BEATRICE.
