From May 5 to June 9, at the lights of Balestrate: a-Sociale the personal exhibition of the Palermo artist Sonny Insinna
Le Luminarie is pleased to present a-Social, the personal exhibition of the Palermo artist Sonny Insinna. From Saturday 5 May, with a vernissage opening at 5.30 pm until midnight, a Monday 9 June (free admission), at the exhibition space Le Luminarie Centro Creativo of Balestrate (Via Palermo 12/14 - via Leopardi 1) show some of the last works of the painter's artistic production, a path that is articulated throughout the ground floor of the nineteenth-century building, home to the exhibition space that for just under a year is proposed as a cultural reality of the town of Balestrate.
The artist aims to investigate today's social problems by highlighting the signs of loss, dissatisfaction, lability and concern of an ephemeral and tendentially narcissistic community.
<< In a reverberation of light and vibrant tones - write Roberta Randisi, curator of the exhibition - the art of Insinna embodies the objectivity of the common aspects of an increasingly individualistic and detached society, where it is mainly spoken on virtual levels, immersed in a paradoxically alienating social reality. An invitation to the user to reflect on the contemporary binomial being / appearing, a claim of identity >>
The artist, born in '77, during the last years has developed an artistic research aimed at investigating today's social rights by highlighting the signs of loss, dissatisfaction, lability, concern of an ephemeral and tendentially narcissistic community. In the paintings a veiled but direct visual language is distinguished, the colors are soft, tending to light and the evanescent trait reflects well the minds of the portrayed figure: human bodies with an impetuous gesture cover their faces instinctively. Insinna felt a courage expression a feeling: fear. In installations, the polyhedral nature of the materials takes on symbolic value, as can be recalled the use of the gold leaf in the work They are or the use of mirrors on a burned table in which the observer will be hopelessly tempted to mirror himself in a dialogue silent between one's own interiority and the reflection of it. The journey of a man and his longest journey is an invitation to spirituality and self-analysis but it is also an autobiography of the artist in which the memory of the father is evoked.
