Remo Carradori, "Peace on Earth", acrylic on canvas, 70 x 80 cm, 2021


By dr. Daniele Radini Tedeschi

Abstract art becomes the field of confrontation between two poetics: the emotional, signic and introspective one of Carradori and that of "L'Albero di MABits" through which Flati crumbles the limits between Art, Science and Contemporary Technology.
Two paths to understand the contingent reality, both parallel and valid, which offer themselves as a beacon against the drift of humanity.
In the boundless field of Crypto Art, NFT, computerized videos, parallel realities and holograms, the two artists compete with new technologies to provide an answer to the fateful question:

Can traditional art still convey information and content to the contemporary world?

The artists

Remo Carradori: In the act of leafing through Carradori's production, one immediately notices how he adheres to a predominantly abstract expressionism, without however completely renouncing the representation of reality. Elements referring to the dimension of the tangible stand out within his entropic surfaces, like simple but effective communicative ploys that the artist tends to insert almost unexpectedly even for the viewer himself. Despite these artifices, Carradori never neglects that pictorial exaltation of his own emotional implantology, the main theme of almost a century of history of Abstractionism. The artist tends to tell and depict his Weltanschauung in the most natural and measured way possible, making use of sign and tonal codes, most of the cases attributable to existential and spiritual experiences. Consistently in this regard, Carradori does not disdain the application of external elements to the canvas and to the pigments.

Giancarlo Flati: Giancarlo Flati is a painter, microsurgeon, researcher and writer from Abruzzo. His current artistic research is aimed at exploring the holographic paradigm and the holomovement of matter mediated by the topological forms of space-time. “Flati represents the world in all its complexities”, writes the art historian Claudio Strinati, “seizing the moment in which it organizes itself, flows without shape and defines itself from the first sound of the Big Bang, exploding and expanding in the euphony of space-time . In Flati's works there are tangled woods, metal knots, electronic boards, broken glass, grains of sand, stones and sounds of Triton shells. Each element has the memory of the arpeggio of the wood, of the lapping of the waves, of the sounds of the electronic machines, of the inebriation of the wind that meets the clouds. A new polyphony of space, a new multi-voiced melody, a sort of ars nova, a music between art and science.”

During the vernissage, two female artists will perform in live painting together with the live music of young songwriters from the Roman scene.
