That one of Calabrian Antonio is a surrealism from the taste leggermente naif, from which extremely positivistica vision emerges one. In its burlaps, flowers and fruits bloom chaotically invading natural architectures and structures, in giant proportions and imposing, coming to the ribalta with strong and lucenti colors that seem to want to fuoriuscire from the work in this optical of unnatural increase that can continue ideally until the real world and transforming the entire espositivo atmosphere in an illusion of a new garden of the Eden.
Its pittorica vision is exactly nearly fiabesca and mythical and, riproponendo in every job the same type of dynamics and capovolgimento of the dimensions, it creates a true one and own cosmogonia fantastic, a corpus of legends structured in epico way, where the adventure that ago give weft is redeems of the nature on the artificial element. The plants grow on the concrete and in the buildings, a petal of a flower can be large as a boat, of the fruit can grow on a shed and of it is gone - symbol of the manufatti ones - are routes and rendered useless.
Draft of a benevolent phenomenon however, nearly one new rebirth of the world, in which the human being it does not have true and just a role, but remains to watch at first astonished and after admired. Of fact fable to lieto fine is one. Risbocciare of a majestic nature therefore renders the human being like a child who riscopre it wants to play and that he celebrates giving just a joyful contribution with balloons, festoni, giocattoli, creating a true and own “spring festivity” or “birthday of the nature” as many not western cultures in effects have, personifying in their legends the natural elements and celebrating them or adoring them in religions in which the spiritualità closely it is connected to the earth and to its yields.
That one of Calabrian Antonio is assimilable to this type of instinctive conception of the man, than of fact it not only exists in many cults, but also in many examples of epica literature, from that Omerica to that Tolkinieniana. In these and other cases, like in all the imaginary one fantasy and the corpus of myths of many people, it is not rare that the nature comes personified and animated in personages who have one wisdom and a advanced inner force to the man.
