a cura di: Christian Gangitano

OPENING GIOVEDI 20 DICEMBRE 2012, H 18.30
viale sabotino 4, cortile interno, citofono Animanera (MM Porta Romana)


Salomè head on the table, by Tomoko (small size, serie Mignon)

In mostra le ultime opere di Tomoko con una serie di pitture a olio su tela, FORMATI MIGNON (tascabili, micro, micro pop accessibili a tutti) e GRANDI formati che ricordano il suo Maestro Nara Yoshitomo (maggior esponente della corrente pittorica superflat di Nagoya, Japan, dove si è formata Tomoko), rivisitazione micropop japanese e kawaii di una delle icone più stimolanti dell storia dell'arte occidentale, interpretata nei secoli da Carmelo Bene a Oscar Wilde, da Tiziano a Cranach a Bernardino Luini e altri grandi maestri fondamentali.

Nella visione Micropop e Superflat ad opera di Tomoko, l'iconografia della TESTA sul PIATTO diventa LOGO, Brand, immagine coordinata e guida ideografica per la sottile critica costruttiva sulla società dei consumi di massa fatta dalle artiste giapponesi nate tra la metà e la fine degli anni '70, la generazione MICRoPop alla quale Tomoko appartiene, come principale esponente in italia.

Salomè by Lucas Cranach

Un'attenzione per l'arte attraverso un percorso di "severed head" che avevo già percorso in questo blog con un post di luglio 2011.

ENGLISH:

An exhibition of recent works, focus on Salomè, by Tomoko with a series of oil paintings on canvas, MIGNON SHAPES (pocket, micro, micro pop accessible to all) and LARGE sizes that resemble his Master Nara Yoshitomo (higher exponent of the Nagoya's pictorial superflat, where it formed Tomoko), revisiting micropop kawaii japanese and one of the most inspiring icons of Western's art history, interpreted over the centuries by Carmelo Bene, Oscar Wilde, by Titian, Cranach, Bernardino Luini and many others top masters.

In the Micropop VISION and Superflat style by Tomoko, the iconography of the HEAD on the PLATE becomes LOGO, Brand, branding and ideographic guide to the constructive criticism on society of mass consumption made by Japanese artists born between the mid-to late 70s, the generation MICRoPop that Tomoko belongs, as the main representative in Italy.

EDOPOP & FLOATINGpop reports

EDOPOP & FLOATINGpop reports JapanPOP, FLOATING POP A curatorial project by Christian Gancitano, in collaboration with Deodato Arte Here is the concept history starting from FLOATING WORLD from which we extrapolate the development of our research of the relationship between East and West relations in pop arts: FLOATING POP (japanese pop art), take a look to Asia as an emerging power and already dominant on the worldwide's imaginary of fashion, comics, design, as an art influencer, one of more active cultural player, economy development, not only japan therefore, that despite everything, it was the first Asian power, democracy westernized. With this "Japan POP art show" an innovative artist combination, we will keep the guidelines of “edo pop”, an art project that i am still forwarding since 2004, it was already started my researching about japanese pop arts since Edo period till the latest artistic trend, taking a look to expanded relationship in art between Eastern and Western pop cultures, massive consumption, advertising and communication. Ukiyo (浮世 "Floating World") Described the urban lifestyle, Especially the pleasure-seeking aspects, of Edo-period in Japan (1600-1867 Tokugawa period). The "Floating World" culture developed in Yoshiwara, the licensed red-light district of Edo town (modern Tokyo), which was the site of many brothels, chashitsu tea houses, and kabuki theaters frequented by Japan's growing middle class. The ukiyo cultures arose also in other cities Such as Osaka and Kyoto and coming out, beginning of the last century, in Paris . Here began the first real pop art, is the famous Japanese's woodblock prints well known as ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the Floating World," In These districts, already more than 4 century ago, had began their origins the japanese's pop cultures, first in the world affordable art, often depicted scenes of the Floating World itself, such as geisha, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, samurai, chonin and prostitutes that was same of contemporary pop stars and massive brand icons . In fact, FLOATING POP is still a worldwide important TREND TODAY: the newest artist, son of this culture, represent mass consumption, leisure and entertainment globalized using a universal language "POP", this was already among the oriental and western culture, sign of begin of today's global marketplace.
