« The wonderful is always beautiful, in fact only the wonderful is beautiful »
(the « Manifest du Surrealism », Andre Breton 1924).

From March 17th to April 28th MondoPOP presents “Atelier Popsurréaliste” a closer look on French Popsurréaliste imagery.

Curated by David Vecchiato and Serana Melandri

There is much talk about Surrealism. After the explosion of the new Californian art labeled “Lowbrow » by the artist Robert Williams and later « Pop Surrealism » by the critic Kirsten Andersonthe references to irrational issues in the New Contemporary Art from around the world are constantly increasing.The French Surrealism of Breton is therefore emerged in the production of new generations of artists since the image culture has produced a sort of collective unconscious that draws from all over the world in producing figurative images, not so complex to be interpreted and easily shared.And it is the sharing, by the web, which makes these new imaginaries, as well as widespread, so globalized that the challenge become to identify the country of origin of the artists who produced them.

MondoPOP accepts this challenge, laying a careful look at contemporary productions to the Urban or Pop Surrealist Art created in the Homeland of Surrealism: France.

Twelve of the most promising French artists from the Low Brow Art, Urban Art and Pop Surrealism show two pieces each to the Italian public.
Twelve points of view that will make access to their workshops to explain the new art from France.

MondoPOP’s “street room” becomes a  Popsurréaliste Atelier that with the coming of the Spring opens to  visitors.

Enjoy it.

Inside the factory

Hi everybody

Today I want to share with you how I make some artworks. Here is a work in progress but with enough steps to understand how I do stuffs.

The basic idea came in the train, I made a rough sketch with a good base and plenty of details. Nobody wants to forget something so I try to place all the details really soon. The other steps shows two research of styles and mediums to express en render the idea.

Creativity & time are two of some components of art. The process of creation comes from the inside not just the brain I guess but from deep inside. Everybody can see & feel things differently, there is a hundred ways to express it. The key represent the capacity to bring our vision to others, when I want I can open the door of my mind and show the wonders of colors and creativity. The skeleton, living dead man is for the time aspect, art is timeless when it will survive his creator. Physically or as a souvenir in the houses or the minds of others.

Hope you will love it.
