Matthew Brannon – The Inevitable and the Unnecessary
In primo piano nelle opere dell’artista temi come l’incoerenza, l’accesso, il desiderio represso, l’alcolismo, la carriera.
Comunicato stampa
Segnala l'evento
La Galleria Giò Marconi è lieta di presentare nei suoi spazi al piano terra "The Inevitable and the Unnecessary", seconda personale dedicata all'artista newyorkese Matthew Brannon. La mostra inaugura venerdì 18 novembre ed è visitabile fino all'11 gennaio 2011.
In primo piano nelle opere dell'artista temi come l'incoerenza, l'accesso, il desiderio represso, l'alcolismo, la carriera.
Nel corso degli anni, il lavoro di Brannon si è espresso in un'ampia varietà di forme: arazzi, stampe in rilievo, silkscreens, affreschi, registrazioni sonore, scritti e film. A questa lista ora l'artista aggiunge le più convenzionali tra le forme d'arte: la pittura ad olio e il disegno. Le pitture, realizzate in tonalità monocromatiche di grigio, bianco e nero, raffigurano forme floreali astratte ispirate a disegni che Brannon ha realizzato dal vivo. Alcune rimandano a scenari di giardini notturni; altre sembrano immortalare foglie bianche che cadono su sfondi grigio pallido.
Esposti uno accanto all'altro i dipinti danno luogo ad una serie che letteralmente rovescia la pittura com'è convenzionalmente espressa e recepita.
I lavori fronteggiano metaforicamente il muro e mostrano allo spettatore il retro. Così facendo rendono visibile la materia grezza di cui si serve l'artista, o chi si fregia di tale nomina.
Insieme ad una varietà di acrilici Brannon presenta nuove sculture. In esse si percepisce il tono canzonatorio di Brannon nei confronti di quella che è l'immagine clichè di artista: solo nel suo studio, di notte, che beve vino, fuma, legge stropicciate edizioni tascabili, ascolta dischi jazz e si pulisce le mani sporche di pittura sui jeans.
Altre sculture ricostruiscono scaffali da bar su cui sono appoggiate mani scolpite a grandezza naturale e bottiglie di legno dipinte, i cui colori rimandano a quelli dal gusto neutro dei dipinti.
Sia il piacere del bere che le sue conseguenze sono state e sono un soggetto costante nel lavoro di Brannon.
In mostra anche due letterpress, lavori distintivi dell'opera di Brannon, in cui illustrazioni e testi convivono.
Alla domanda "qual'è il ruolo dell'arte?", una volta Brannon ha risposto " l'arte è una frustrazione produttiva e una piacevole irritazione".
Una delle priorità dell'artista è il coinvolgimento del pubblico: il suo lavoro vuole essere irritante o provocatore/canzonatore, non per distrarre ma per diventare un'opportunità di porsi domande sulle nostre motivazioni e i nostri desideri.
Un''opportunità di ricostruire la storia come se ci trovassimo sulla scena del crimine: è sangue questo sparso su tutto il pavimento o è solo vino versato?

In primo piano nelle opere dell'artista temi come l'incoerenza, l'accesso, il desiderio represso, l'alcolismo, la carriera.
Nel corso degli anni, il lavoro di Brannon si è espresso in un'ampia varietà di forme: arazzi, stampe in rilievo, silkscreens, affreschi, registrazioni sonore, scritti e film. A questa lista ora l'artista aggiunge le più convenzionali tra le forme d'arte: la pittura ad olio e il disegno. Le pitture, realizzate in tonalità monocromatiche di grigio, bianco e nero, raffigurano forme floreali astratte ispirate a disegni che Brannon ha realizzato dal vivo. Alcune rimandano a scenari di giardini notturni; altre sembrano immortalare foglie bianche che cadono su sfondi grigio pallido.
Esposti uno accanto all'altro i dipinti danno luogo ad una serie che letteralmente rovescia la pittura com'è convenzionalmente espressa e recepita.
I lavori fronteggiano metaforicamente il muro e mostrano allo spettatore il retro. Così facendo rendono visibile la materia grezza di cui si serve l'artista, o chi si fregia di tale nomina.
Insieme ad una varietà di acrilici Brannon presenta nuove sculture. In esse si percepisce il tono canzonatorio di Brannon nei confronti di quella che è l'immagine clichè di artista: solo nel suo studio, di notte, che beve vino, fuma, legge stropicciate edizioni tascabili, ascolta dischi jazz e si pulisce le mani sporche di pittura sui jeans.
Altre sculture ricostruiscono scaffali da bar su cui sono appoggiate mani scolpite a grandezza naturale e bottiglie di legno dipinte, i cui colori rimandano a quelli dal gusto neutro dei dipinti.
Sia il piacere del bere che le sue conseguenze sono state e sono un soggetto costante nel lavoro di Brannon.
In mostra anche due letterpress, lavori distintivi dell'opera di Brannon, in cui illustrazioni e testi convivono.
Alla domanda "qual'è il ruolo dell'arte?", una volta Brannon ha risposto " l'arte è una frustrazione produttiva e una piacevole irritazione".
Una delle priorità dell'artista è il coinvolgimento del pubblico: il suo lavoro vuole essere irritante o provocatore/canzonatore, non per distrarre ma per diventare un'opportunità di porsi domande sulle nostre motivazioni e i nostri desideri.
Un''opportunità di ricostruire la storia come se ci trovassimo sulla scena del crimine: è sangue questo sparso su tutto il pavimento o è solo vino versato?
Matthew Brannon è nato a St. Maries, Idaho, nel 1971. Vive e lavora a New York.
Nel 2011 Matthew Brannon terrà una mostra personale presso Portikus, a Francoforte.
