Unnecessary Introspection "- Solo exhibition at the Museum of Luigi Guarino DAMA, Capua (CE)
On 13 December 2012, at the museum DAMA (Daphne Art Museum) of Capua (CE) exhibition will be inaugurated
staff of young and eclectic artist from Naples, Luigi Guarino, open until 6 January 2013. Already
the title of the exhibition, "Unnecessary Introspection", ie "Needless Introspection", we understand that
the works that Guarino exhibit at DAMA follow in the wake of one of the issues dearest to him, that is, the
knowledge and comparison with one's inner self, although, in this case, "strangely" USELESS. From
What is the date futility expressed by the artist on the occasion of this personal? Perhaps the reason is the inability to
insight into their IO? Very probably, or at least this is the impression I got.
The attention and continuous reflection of Guarino against the post-modern society have led
to understand how it has made us slaves and blind to the essentials of life, so
make it very difficult knowledge of our true being and moving away from the opportunity to make
aware of what we really are.
Luigi Guarino is exhibiting a series of paintings on canvas made with oils and acrylics in 2012, from which the title
of this exhibition, a series of sculptures entitled "Inside to we" of 2011, consisting of five
terracotta sculptures and enamels. The decision to combine the exposure is with paintings with sculptures is due
by the fact that both series are particularly attached to one another at the thematic level.
Guarino's paintings express a clear need of man to deal with his conscience,
ably represented by human figures more slender and minute that accentuate the comparison with the
own "SELF", attempting a redefinition of its "I" sometimes disrupted by our company (Thematic
typically existentialist, also expressed by an artist who often looks Guarino: I am referring to
Alberto Giacometti). This atmosphere heavy and almost unbearable is expressed through the use of colors
dark, although flashes of lighter shades, such as red, purple or yellow, express a good and strong
energetic vibration, accompanied by haloes surrounding gray, like a soul ready to
explode, the body of each of the protagonists. The angularity of the bodies is accentuated by the positions
that they assume, often accompanied by typical symbols that we find in the works of Luigi Guarino:
accessories worn (like the tie or the crown), emblematic symbols of human power, and objects such as
nut, a symbol of randomness, or chairs made with fine lines and essential, or tanks, symbols
the most atrocious wars, created and designed directly from the mind and hands of man.
