"Don't forget me!"
Exhibitions, Italy, Roma, 25 May 2010
Guido: "The intent is to tell a 'comic book', doing, while passing a message: the exhortation to stand alongside that bear yellow continually facing the picture, not to say want to be 'forgotten'. "

The bear is Winnie the Pooh, universal figure of the world under ten years, a sort of archetype that crosses the project in its visual and moral steps. Winnie now becomes a ferryman harmonic stabilizes the emotional game, a little thin (due to the stomach) red line (but also very yellow) and compact that puts the circuit holistic childhood and the adult world.

The artist, through the imaginary Bear Winnie, introduces us to the silent planet's private diary and everted rambling on which experience shapes and materials, crossroads of ideas and languages around the theme of childhood retained. The crux is all here, in maintaining meaningful dialogue with the archetypes young age, in the detection of fragments of nature inspires many of the digressions in the form of mature reflection and color.

Guido sin: "To be honest, I automatically pulled 'inside' the game, opening a path through which rebours rediscover an imaginary child suspended between reality and fiction, between the size of the drives el'evanescenza. Here, then, resurfacing (one after the other and as a flood) the image of the glass with the straw and the bubbles, the box that opens, mounts and dismounts, hearts, buds rose, the colored balls and white as snow ... forms, signs, writings, small objects that pass above the brightness of the paper, referring to a lost time and now (unexpectedly) found. The time when I was born, whose contours are 'simple' as those of cartoons. The time when the symbols of memory flow, entering and exiting the same as if it were an umbilical cord ... ".

The show is a long diary organic without apparent end, a joint circular fragments floating in the cosmos sentimental author. Change languages and approaches but does not change the attitude homogeneous continuous review of their roots. An excavation that enters as a perpetual emotional pitch, toward the deep groundwater of children dispersed to the foundation of all unrest, to the origin of the pains and passions. Whether paper, canvas, ceramics, collage or whatever, nothing changes in the disposition of sin is his eye in the middle between the roots and present, its tension to the story, the pathos to a story told that you have in the gallery in his steps sequential references between the contexts and characters, assembling cartoon that combines ideally allestitiva grammar.

By the way: do not forget that Winnie the Pooh, as well as eating honey and live in an old oak, composes poems. Who better than he could become a symbol found that childhood (real mature) that combines the sharpness of instinct for the nuances of reason?
