Por no

Video by Andrés Rangel.

“Por no” derives from the universal topic of sex, being treated as something that needs to be spoken about eloquently, because when one doesn’t speak about doubts, concerns, propositions, suggestions, ideas, fantasies and desires… It simply creates a taboo which will continue to grow, stemming from sexism and ignorance. ‘Por no’ is an aesthetic and conceptual experience, supported by aspects from Postporn and NeoCamp philosophies, and attempts to incite to a more creative (auto)exploration, and to better orgasms.

Pelle

Photo project by Martina Lucarelli.

Pelle is a book, the result of an artistic research, that intends to make a contemporary reading on the concept of skin. Such concept is described through a place, Puglia. Here, the photographer wants to capture a sense of personal connection with the place, where the artist was born and raised.

This project is an investigation, an individual research on the shapes of the ordinary and its sculptural qualities. At this purpose, the works of the photographers of the past as Edward Weston, Giuseppe Cavalli and Luigi Ghirri are indispensable to understand this work.

Here, the lens of the photographer capture objects, spaces, bodies, and shows them for what they really are, or what they might be.

The sketch first of all

Fashion illustration by Anita Ronga.

Anita Ronga is the 24-year-old illustrator with the passion of fashion and art. She studied drawing, anatomy and tissues at Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, following the course of fashion design (but her first education is in IT).

Anita makes sketches of her favorite fashion designers and anything that can be drawn (so basically, anything). In the gallery you can see her illustrations for Fendi and Valentino and the ones she made being inspired by C.A.P.74024.

You are saying that in fact you are a programmer – how do you combine these 2 different spheres?
Yes, I say – in fact – I’m a programmer, because my diploma says so but, fortunately, my experience as programmer has stopped with the end of high school. I have always been attracted by the colors, even when was studying to become a programmer: always used to transform my exercises in curious fashion sketches. Was so unrelated to that world full of numbers and strange algorithms. I never felt a programmer, much more an illustrator.

Who is your favorite fashion designer and for who you would love to make illustrations?
I have a great passion for all the work done by Alexander McQueen, it was so brilliant!!! Then love Chanel, Valentino and Yamamoto, absolutely! I would love to illustrate fashion of a great brand of Haute Couture, maybe one of my favorite but, definitely I love this art and I’m so glad to illustrate for everyone who loves my illustrations.

What inspires you except fashion?
Streets of Rome, floral lawns and sunsets are magical for my inspiration.

Which color is love?
It’s definitely white. White is the combination of all colors and love brings all the colors with him.

Can you share a secret?
If I share a secret, I lose a secret…

An Underwater Essay

Relationships to the waters.

Arnaldo Abba is 32, coming from Brescia, Italy.

He studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York, where he seriously approached photography and fell in love with it. In 2010 he graduated in Cinema at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Italy, and decided it was time to dig deeper into his new passion that was taking over every minute of his free time.

In the past three years I lived in Santa Barbara, California. As an emigrant, my friends often asked me what was the thing I missed the most about Italy. The first answers were always “My family, my friends, the food”. But the more this question was brought out, the more I was finding myself thinking about the waters of the Mediterranean sea of the small village I grew up in.

These photographs I took this past summer represent my relationship to these waters: they are an investigation to the source of fascination and attraction, but also fear and tremble I harbor for them.

The sea is in fact the place where the natural rules we know don’t apply: in water we float suspended in a liquid, and to go underneath the surface we need to hold our breath. The Mediterranean can be blue and reassuring or green, murky and frightful. It can be calm and flat or rough and stormy.

In all his way of being, liking it or not, I’ve been there.

The series “An Underwater Essay” is the investigation of what this sea represents for me. From the dark side I reject, to the calm one I love.


Fro and to

The reverse of happening.

It’s a still-life/GIF story. To and fro, fro and to – it’s all focused on the result, the emotion. What has happened before – is all up to your imagination. The main idea was to show a different voyeuristic perspective, where the reader can be part of what he is looking at.

The Invitation

A voyeuristic affair.

“It’s a sneaky-peaky hide’n’seek game we all play. We brush a touch, we feel the breath, we follow the shadow, we anticipate the next move and then we hold, we press, we sweat. We pretend to hide & cover to heighten up the little pleasure but it’s the climax when we are caught, the eyes meet. With no disappointment, the mask removed, the body exposed, the innocence visible, the comforting sigh, the curly smirk, the message exchanged. It’s a moment of nakedness smeared with emotions of joy, excitement & mischievousness”.

Narcissus

Exploring the extremes of self-love.

In a generation constantly deemed egotistical and self-obsessed, we are reminded of the myth of Narcissus. Is an in depth exploration of oneself defective? In the end, can one be completely self-suficient and survive alone, despite the loneliness?

LOVVISM

An exhibition about Love, by Angelo Cruciani.

Speaking, today, about love, and doing it through mountains of hearts and disenchanted messages is a choice of great courage.
When I met Angelo, I appreciated a lot his talent in styling, then I discovered his ability in designing clothes. Now he can still amaze me, pulling out of his colorful cylinder the capacity extremely refined to create visual artworks (paintings in mixed media) that speak of sincere feelings, concrete, and they do it through signs and vivid colors, full of love.

On July 2nd, 2015, in Milan, the first Chinese gallery of contemporary art in Italy hosted the debut of LOVVISM, L’amore va di moda.
LOVVISM is the summary of a journey that lasted four years, moved on to explore deeply the symbol of love: a path that dismembers and reassembles the cosmic energy of a divine feeling. Love returns of being fashionable and claims his throne: in an increasingly virtual reality, it’s going on an overwhelming media invasion, that reports an indispensable collective need of sweetness.

Is it the beginning of a new Humanism? Probably yes. From the image of Christ to the flags of the world economic powers. The scope of the research for Cruciani goes into unpredictable directions, and it does so supported by the talented Manuel Scrima, photographer for years in creative couple with the artist, which translates into images the collective, conceptual and aesthetic actions of the project.
Yin and Yang of a single vision, thesis and antithesis of a unique message, Apollonian and Dionysian of a thought of beauty that tells of love through love.
