The Museum of Contemporary Art in Acre a nationally recognized cultural reality, presents the exhibition 'Aldo Mondino. Master of phantasmagoria ', to celebrate once again and through the work of a master the profound value of art. Is a major challenge to bring contemporary art into a reality such as Calabria, a challenge accepted and approved by the local authorities aware of the prejudices and skepticism that this brings.
The enthusiasm is even greater when you have the opportunity to make known an artist as versatile Mondino, never park in the creative, full of exuberance positive artistic and refined. The exhibition, dedicated to him alone, is to remember through his own master the art of Turin, who died in 2005. The artist in question is one of the representatives of the season of cultural ferment that has characterized the sixties of the Piedmontese capital.
The style of the original
Mondino traces and recreates the experiences of intellectuals flavoring subtle but elegant subtlety with which we view the world. A life lived between Italy and France where he went a boy and where he can attend the courses of Master William Hayter and where he attended the Ecole du Louvre, at the same time tightens ties with important artists of the period which Sebastian Matta and Wilfredo Lam. We must recognize the artist the ability to pass in his work every vicissitude abstracted from their original context, process and adapting it to the study of manipulating matter.
For the benefit of the public strongly evocative title the exhibition speaks of 'phantasmagoria' the same term that in recent times have identified the first cinematic creation that involved different aspects of art such as pictures and music. A title is a complete presentation the organizers linked the echo of the famous verses of Arthur Rimbaud French who promptly said 'you have all the talents' among the first lines of the work 'A Season in Hell'. To highlight the different capacities of Mondino may be enough to remember those boxes of his works made from nougat, horse saddles or kippers testimony of a close to daily reality does not more common among artists. Attention to the reality that also comes from attending the teacher with a group of poor artists who focus their attention on very simple things, the basics of that language more complex than is often reflected in art.
Again these influences can be tied in other works such as sculptures in chocolate and sugar cane. The constant flow of different ideas has turned into a new set of inspirations that the artist had the ability to draw in an ever new and original. So every experience study and life is transformed into a new perspective, in a groundbreaking finding that is applied with wisdom and determination to art. Just to mention some of our teachers they had to do remember, besides the expressionist William Hyter, the futurist Gino Severini, famous for being able to merge creativity and feasibility. These and other artists had a profound influence on the formation of the genius of Mondino.
The varied life of the teacher from Turin went through different periods, a strong appeal stage quotes from pop and a subsequent cycle Orientalist, developed in the seventies with the King series, continued with the Dervish and solemn trials, and eccentric courageous. It is impossible to represent the spirit of an artist, but the MACA tries out twenty different works selected from the larger sculptures, paintings and a set of jewels to give the public the opportunity to touch the exotic and varied character of the 'creator of phantasmagoria'.
