Quacquaraquà
Some of their erudition, the saputi, they spit their truth with making sure today affirming an ever changing or enriched compared to that sustained yesterday. They leggiucchiato, without much attention to content, or heard bursts of news, even itchy, which pretend to be objective and fair. Prance, adding new details from time to time, because they have heard or perceived fragments of voices here and there. Frequently carpiscono ideas, which then pass off as their own, most of the time stuck, lacking the creative spirit and the design that gives soul to the thoughts and things. The ideas, which are siphoning off the quacquaraquà, are maimed and manage to surprise the audience only briefly, since they do not have a consistent further development and continuity. Sometimes I manage to have the following of people who, even in good faith, paying attention, and for this to be with his chest out and have the air of being very important.
The quacquaraquà speak on nothing but believe to be clever, to listen to them, it soon becomes clear that they represent only the emptiness of mind and can only talk of gossip, hearsay, things never investigated. Phrases, breathe and reinforced in closed groups, give a sense of their culture and the lack of research dell'ideativo, the just and the beautiful.
S'infastidiscono when someone dares to refute the inconsistency of content of the things they are talking about and continue to strut with turns of phrase that justify only the ignorance, the lack of inner substance that can support them outside of the notions that give them certainty. These are the quacquaraquà that leave me all the time with out a doubt "there are or are they doing?"
Luigi De Giovanni in eight works he wanted to tell the empty chatter and make a tribute to Leonardo Sciascia that, in the book "The Day of the Owl", divided human beings into categories, placing the last quacquaraquà own, people who, according to the ' author, << should live like ducks in the puddles >>. The artist took the cue and using the tools of painting, he found ideas and feelings materializing anxieties and wounds that cause the slew of rumors until it becomes concrete in the color tinged in monochrome canvas of a complaint, became a metaphor for the mud spat unnecessarily. Drips, splashes, stains essential, in the works on display, made of cast express the instinctive anger of the pictorial gesture that occurs, too, by highlighting the word, guideline, "quacquaraquà."
In the work "melancholy in white on a pink background" dripping of lime, traces of painting the walls of Settlement, coagulate into a large and dense scrub cracked as if they had manifested signs of the collapse of the ideals and dreams affected by sketches muddy. A background pink, trace of hope, contrasts with the brown signs sure that enhance the meaning of the black melancholy of the work that brings to small countries, humus Brewing inspired genius, which makes feel discomfort, lack of acceptance of human for what it is and not for what it should be according to the quacquaraquà conformists.
Plot of the pictorial story is the sadness of the soul, affected by the slander, which manifests itself in the paintings exposing the superficiality of quacquaraquà that transform into splashes of sticky mud, which is thrown on people to discard to remove them from their posts, including social. The gestural marks express malice become torment, while on the canvas repeat the word "quacquaraquà" is a cathartic release denouncing the stillness of mind of those who can not realize the significance of the wounds it inflicts. A yellow canvas, which is alive with cheerful vitality and joy to start exploding in white, becomes the hope that the work where it is stated from a background of brown raw canvas, in which thicken thick patches of white, c ' is the memory of people who manage to escape the chatter: the silt that had surrounded and wounds.
In the works on display are perceived feelings of hurt minds, and folly of quacquaraquà: they can continue with their commitment and gossip stating rants about people, things or topics.
The quacquaraquà are represented, with shrewd irony, in a tribute to Leonardo Sciascia with a few words that could give us the climate of a country where even the walls of the houses murmur.
Artist with a metaphor gives inspiration to their future speeches ....
