CURATELA
Pop art is undoubtedly the most universal form of artistic expression, for it tackles issues that can be understood by anyone, in a simple and straightforward manner. Its success, however, does not come simply form its semplicity and immediacy, in other words, from the fact that all art forms it is the only one that does not need explanations, but from the fact that it is a proactive form of visual culture. "Noting is more profound than what is on the surface" wrote Georg Hegel. Generally speaking, when a critic introduces the work of a young artist, there are two tendency. The first is to point the similarities and differences with those work within the same cultural system. The second is to make her the daughter of Warhol, Basquiat, Close etc etc. When some curator or collector says " this artists reminds me of the painter........................ "and splaff they slam the name , this young artist is branded for life. They take off her first and last name and the soul. Will forever daughter. Never will be Mother. This kind of curators and collectors prefer the easy fashion. They like house decorator. The artist is very happy to decore their houses. The main thing is to sell her self, to take money. These are the prostitutes of art. They sell the parents, their soul, their life for success. It normally lasts the duration of a season. Collection winter, spring, summer and fall. It is fashion. Nothing else. Roberta Diazzi does not run this risk. Why? She has a very precise idea of her job.. Art is effort, and hard work. Her artistic production is limited, like the best wine. Few works per year, by choice, but also for the technique that she uses. Enter the Swarovsky is painstaking work that only a good artisan can achieve. She is an artist's bottega , as in the Italian Renaissance. Here are her roots that translate into the language contemporary using pop art. The presented work in this Solo is a tribute to the genius of the Renaissance, His Majesty Michelangelo. He had the strength to introduce naked men and women in the house of God, to signify humanity of the divine and at the same time screaming for the return to the origins of the Catholic Church. Today, Roberta interprets that thought and makes it contemporary. Man finds its reason for being, respecting and in dialogue with nature. That lion and the tiger tell us beware, if you continue to consume the earth, the air, the water, if you continue to consume non-renewable energy will come a time of reckoning. Big Bang. Last judgment or Revival? This is the dilemma of contemporary women and men. The icon of the two animals that mimic the Last Judgment is a provocative act of great sensibility. Equality between human animals and non-human animals The passing of a master conception of the universe. A hug to Francis, one of yesterday and of today. A painting expression of well-read culture. I'll take her to New York where her work will be presented at the 18 most important collectors on the planet. An oversight. I will take only one of her works and her exhibition will only last for one day. Why? Because art is a unique and unrepeatable. As the work of Roberta Diazzi. By Pietro Franesi Director NYBA & DAB
