Carlos Giordano personal exhibition
This review tells the story of the work done in the period from 1990 to 2010 and never presented before. Some works revisit some subjects previously shown but are presented here under a new perspective.
The use of black and white allows Carlos to study the human body as a naked reality, raw, without pomp or ostentation, merciless. The addition of pastel color softens his style and makes the figure flexible, spontaneous and gentle, almost melancholic. The human figure serves Carlos to represent the life (“LIFE”) of the featured characters who also narrate a part of the author’s life and that of the collective imagination.
The Still Lifes and landscapes of this exhibition show us a different Carlos. The message is more immediate, sensory and it reaches us directly to the heart and smile. They convey joy and surprise and they allow us to discover beauty (and art) in everyday things. However, the basis of these works is a refined and formal design, sometimes underlined with ink or graphite sometimes covered with pastel, but always in force.
To complete this short analysis it should be mentioned that Carlos’s work has the double temporality of the irony: the meaning is not clear to us immediately, but after a certain time a smile illuminates the darkness.
