Ante-inquietudine d'Anime in Post-sentenza

Undoubtedly, the era in which we live, interwoven with all of that subtle malaise in the larval stage that is perceived unconsciously and that translates into a sense of uncertainty and insecurity, so deeply, to stifle the impulse most vital of "living" projects the consciousness to the size of the irrational, where the mind can penetrate under a lucid waking to fish in the capillary fragile image, allowing us to reconstruct the symbolic representation of the flora of the innermost unexplored. Consider this considering painting Salvatore Gerbino, a young artist from Caltagirone, a language that eschews easy understanding, to be an interpreter of the concerns of humanity. The artist who lives in the horizon of his time-limit can not escape the stimuli and the contents of the. But Gerbino's more, in addition to the analytical insights of psycho-sociological, which are, so to speak, the surface, the crust of his painting, there is a need for psycho-cultural, which places us in an intimate space in which the human drama is coupled to a voltage of intellectual research, for which art and culture are symbols of the most authentic humanitarian dimension. For artists such as Gerbino, a certain commitment, the painting becomes a way meaningful to involve the viewer not only on the picture plane, but also on a cultural level. The painting, then, is not only a need for aesthetic and formal, but it is something more intimate, more widespread, which is to co-exist in the structure of the organic intellectual and artistic ego and, therefore, to blend and sculpt the secret vitality of the artist. The Gerbino us into a surreal atmosphere, where the human drama extends throughout the premonitory echo of a seismic tension. A lunar landscape, far away, sucked nell'abissale chaos timeless, made up of structures of plants: the tree without leaves, free from the bottom of heaven germination of indefinable figures: human limbs, lips, faces undone by pain: symbols, these , loneliness, suffering, Calvary marked by pain in the long journey of humanity. Canvases are full of "pathos", exuding the existential drama "eternity" in which intertwine the contents of the current reality: intimate contortions of branches that make the '"I" vulnerable involved in the tangle of alienating unpredictability.
