Exhibitions, Italy, Milano, Sesto San Giovanni, 30 April 2014
The new work of Francesco Messina begins with a reflection of the media bombardment to which man is subjected daily. Signs, colors, music scores, maps and a careful use of color and synthetic showcasing man in his existential truth .
Opens Wednesday, April 30 from Avantgarde Sesto S. Giovanni , E pluribus unum , the staff of Francesco Messina. The artist exhibited for the first cycle of its new cards , in an exhibition that brings together more than 20 works from several sizes and a large assemblage of two meters by two meters .
The work of Messina tell the man and the stresses to which it is subjected on a daily basis and which impel them to a continuous transformation. A continuous current - almost a bombing - news , current events , more or less violent thoughts and streams of consciousness that pierce and pass on his cards. Here you accumulate signs, symbols , drawings that recall an external world , and natural, that seems to implode and explode at the same time by the faces, mouths wide open in an effort to breathe, to speak, to scream. It is a magma in which nature, man and "artifice " mingle , collide against each other to represent the man and his journey of transformation in contemporary society.
In the papers of Francesco Messina color , sign, word and support contribute in equal measure to find a balance and a summary : e pluribus unum , from many, one only. From the multitude of stresses , thoughts, symbols emerges one, and that one is the man in his existential reality .
What interests Messina is always the man in his innermost essence and in his deep feeling . The myriad of items that pile up in his papers is a summary and quiet in the dominant thought of his poetry : the need to tell, to narrate - as in a new contemporary mythology - the journey of change and transformation that being human suffering or , on the contrary , whose protagonist is active .
The title of the staff , E pluribus unum , the original national motto of the United States of America, calls this desire for synthesis and realization of man . On the other hand right in the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the happiness , and the pursuit of happiness , the individual is considered an inalienable right. The self-realization of their dreams and make of a single individual "full" . Francesco Messina in his work does not want to give hope or consolation , but to reflect on what drives the transformation and change can be positive regardless of whether or not the realization of their dreams .
