Carlos Giordano personal art show
THE REDISCOVERY OF BEAUTY
Almost everyone knows and loves tomatoes. Yet Carlos Giordano created a work to re sensitize us about their amazing beauty. Carlos reminds us that we love only one aspect of the things that surround us while there are many others that we take for granted.
Carlos looks at known objects as an alien would, rediscovering them with a sense of amazement and encouraging us to do the same. The artist knows something about us, about how everyday life is. He improves our ability to capture what is fundamentally beautiful and forces us to concentrate during one or two minutes on the beauty that surrounds us. He stimulates our curiosity and involves us in his discoveries.
We should do with many other things and people what Carlos has done with the tomatoes: appreciate them as if it were the first time we saw them, starting if nothing else, with those who are near us.
