NOTA DE PRENSA EN INGLÉS:
Cortesía: Federico Luger
Friday 18 September, for START, the contemporary art weekend in Milan, the Federico Luger gallery is pleased to invite you to the opening of the exhibition by Antonio De Pascale “Microclima”.
The paradoxical contamination between still lifes and genre scenes (sampled from a range of media) is the strategy of approach to reality chosen by Antonio De Pascale, who at the same time creates a gap in the emotional overload caused by the continuum of media narratives, that excess of visibility that could cause us to repress or indifferently ignore the traumatic events that surround us every day.
In the paintings of Antonio De Pascale the framings of a domestic setting overflowing with consumer products become a theater of dramatic, recognizable but not identifiable actions. Disoriented by the painstaking representation of our reality populated by objects and invaded by consumer goods, and by the imperturbable flow of events covered in the news media, we find ourselves swept into a super-reality in which catastrophic events, to which we have become inured due by habit and repetition, vividly graft themselves onto our everyday horizon.
Through a drastic inversion of scale, a variegated range of objects (boxes, art catalogues, cans, bags, containers of all kinds) represented in minute detail is transformed into a landscape filled with the agitation of microscopic characters whose tension and frenzy collide and clash with the reassuring immobility of the still life.
By superimposing visual documents taken directly from the news on a genre of painting characterized by its stillness and lack of action, De Pascale disrupts the code while at the same time attempting to establish a dialogue, a narrative exchange between separate aspects of reality, setting off unexpected reactions of alarm in the viewer.
Repositioning and saturation, interfering with the process of signification, question the images without making them lose their original connotations.
