We are at Christmas.
An art exhibition is an opportunity to meet some 'friends before December 25, 2009. What a coincidence to your doorstep (in Piazza Cantore) Ivo exhibited his "Femmes." Ivo I know a little more than a year and a half. We are friends, but we have more often worked on various projects, not the least of my video "Alone" and I must say, i am a big "fan" because he is an artist. And I love the artists and he is pure. Pure and Artist. He has a concept of beauty distant, aloof, austere, elegant, but at the same time is bad ... well, fun!
The style of the "Femmes" is of course impeccable, pleasantly snobby, not by acquisition, but by nature. Are between them, or sun for ever. Have clear eyes, as sea water, as in the photographs of Lindbergh, have long necks like Modigliani and are colorful, colorful. The colors are determined, net, but next to each other with taste and skill. The styles of clothes and hair, sometimes of hats, ranging, from the '30s to the '50s to late '70s. But, while the eye color is invariably light blue, hair color turns pink, red, green, purple, orange. The poses of sophisticated elegance ... we see the front, three-quarter profile, his head slightly bowed. In some of them read the boredom, the other evil, and in others a sort of slight smile, almost a circumstance, aristocratic, archaic as a "kouros of melos".
The femmes are a riot of color and expressiveness. Of life. "The femmes" are watching us, watching us drink in their suits, with rosy cheeks and lips red and burgundy, with their cloche hats and necklaces of precious stones so that, from time to time, looking around, I seem to have almost aristocratic compassion for these human beings who are desperately trying to make sense of the time, love and riots in the streets.
Thanks Ivo, Merry Christmas.

LES FEMMES

"Women sad, melancholy, cocteauiane, always perfect in the group but of course the sun, where solitude give vent to their creativity to be unique, unreachable, in the way they appear against them and against a society that represents them . "
