PRESS RELEASE
Giusy Lauriola
Urban Expectations
Mo.C.A. Studio
On the 5th of June at 7.00 p.m. at the Mo.C.A. venue, Giusy Lauriola inaugurates her exhibition, “Urban Aspirations” The artist creates a kind of daily diary in which she notes the images which surround her. The protagonists are urban wayfarers, Adriane’s thread of her last projects, who in the vision of their everlasting wanderings, apparently with no goal, offer themselves as existential metaphors.
While in the last projects symbolic images prevailed, monochromes, this new perception is suspended, contemplated and coloured in a surreal atmosphere, well evoked by the coordinated use of photographic and painting techniques. The common figure plunges into colour and leaves the anonymous. Changing colours and tone, inverting or modifying the origin of the image implies a position, which breaks the realistic impact of photography for a new interpretive code. Daily visions are elaborated in a new dimension, sometimes dreamlike and above all extra-ordinary: a short circuit between the artist’s reality and inner being as well as the synapse of memory.
In this unsual atmosphere, we can glimpse some wings. Butterfly wings. Wings leaned against the wanderers who seem nearly unconscious of them. A new vision of everyday realities in different forms and paths. Wings, as our timid aspirations, the ones we don’t even at times recognise in ourselves, but which unbelievably we always carry with us. Still, fragile butterfly wings, but coloured and engaging. As if dreams, desires were there, were winking at us and we were ignoring them. Colours, which flavour this real dream are together with wings, aspirations of delightful sensations, light or Plexiglas reflection. In the end, the need expressed by magic, which never abandons us.
As the Art Historian Simonetta Cini contend; “In Giusy Lauriola we can find the poetry of research, the doubt of criticism. She refuses the violence present in an argument or a judgment. Her reflecting reality produces a work with a complete absence of arrogance. Her conclusions are strong and full of freshness at the same time, they are not false. There is a restless attitude, if we can speak of restless attitude, towards what is warm and human. At the same time she manages not to be sentimentalist or self referent. Solitude is imagined first, then represented in subjects and occasional situations of their lives; air is not a moot horizon where the figures have to adapt and match but air is part of these figures. Each one of her works of art is a universe, which we can not define good or bad, nice or ugly. Her figures go beyond the painting, they keep living beyond the what is painted, they might have been created even before they were painted because in Giusy Lauriola’s works of art there is definitely something romantic.”
Furthermore, the actresses Diane Fleri, Francesca Inaudi and Daniele Orazi, Managing Director of Officine Artistiche have also had a hand at her project portrayed while walking, wanderers of their lives. The artist creates two layers in her works, a photographic and a pictorial one in order to imagine a profound work which stimulates movement and surpasses the two dimensional aspect. She will show also some light boxes and a light cube.
