TECHNIQUE PHOTO-PAINTING
The technique used was defined as PHOTO-PAINTING by the art critic Silvia Pegoraro of Ravenna Italy and was an Artist's invention in 1994. In fact, since 1964 Dario Cusani had been working with photography and painting which had never been united.
The Artist:
"In 1994 I returned to Naples, the city where I was born and had been missing for 10 years after moving to Rome in 1984. I returned to see the MIRACLE achieved by the G7 with the Presidents of the most powerful countries led by Bill Clinton, US President. It was a wonderful visit to my city reborn in its ancient splendor! I took over 5,000 photos of the squares and monuments of Naples with my Nikon. I returned to Rome and had all the photos printed and put them on various tables and assembled all the various pieces. I immediately realized that parts were missing which I completed with paint. A spontaneous gesture with which I had unconsciously achieved a great innovation: I had combined the REALITY of photography with the DREAM represented by painting. Silvia, my muse who knew me well, when I showed her the first work IMPERATING MALE (R:0176) that I had done she said to me: "Dario you have united the TWO WORLDS of your life: that of your childhood with the sensitivity of the dreamer with the concrete one that they gave you taught your parents with education, training (degree in Economic Sciences) and work started at 15 years old in your family's copper industry. These formative years had distanced myself from those of childhood when I studied the piano and dreamed of becoming an orchestra conductor. I also drew and painted with my imagination in search of the affections I was missing as my parents were busy in the factory rebuilding Italy destroyed by the recently ended war. I then refined PHOTO-PAINTING which developed into DIGITAL PROCESSING having replaced the BRUSH with the MOUSE to fill the gaps left by the photography and complete the REALITY which with painting became another FANTASTIC reality"
SOCIAL RESEARCH
This work is part of the SOCIAL "research" which addresses issues that concern people and the "polis" which in Latin means city but also "political model".
I LOVE MANHATTAN
In 1999 I was invited to have an exhibition at the Casa Italiana Zerilli Marimò in New York scheduled for September 2000. So I went to the BIG APPLE for the first time at the age of 50 and was amazed by the great vital energy I felt. Until then I had traveled abroad little because I was busy with studies, sports and already at 19 years old in my family's copper industry and after a few years also with my children who I had looked after a lot since they came into the world.
In NY I took many photos, but this work was born from another image: the map of the phantasmagoric subway!!! It was simple for me, since I was a child I looked at the clouds where I saw many shapes of people, animals etc. I saw at first sight the prow of a Jumbo, the famous giant of the skies, and sketched some sketches.
Upon returning to Rome I was in love with NY and it was easy to see in that map another image that is closely linked to love. The male penis that united me inextricably to the city-woman! Thus was born I LOVE MANHATTAN which with SPEAKING PARADISE - R. 1655 and FRESH FISH - R.1657 are the 3 works that connect me most to the BIG APPLE.
TECNICA FOTO-PITTURA
La tecnica usata è stata definita FOTO-PITTURA dal critico d'arte Silvia Pegoraro di Ravenna Italia e fu una mia invenzione del 1994. Infatti dal 1964 lavoravo con la fotografia e la pittura che non si erano mai unite.
Nel 1994 tornai a Napoli, la città dove ero nato e mancavo da 10 anni dopo il trasferimento a Roma nel 1984. Tornai per vedere il MIRACOLO realizzato dal G7 con i Presidenti dei Paesi più potenti con a capo Bill Clinton presidente USA. Fu una visita stupenda nella mia città rinata nel suo antico splendore! Scattai con la mia Nikon oltre 5.000 foto delle piazze e monumenti di Napoli. Tornai a Roma e feci stampare tutte le foto e le misi su vari tavoli e montai tutti i vari pezzi. Mi resi subito conto che mancavano delle parti che completai con la pittura. Un gesto spontaneo col quale avevo realizzato inconsciamente una grande innovazione: avevo unito la REALTA’ della fotografia con il SOGNO rappresentato dalla pittura. Silvia, mia musa che mi conosceva bene, quando le feci vedere il primo lavoro MASCHIO IMPERANTE (R:0176) che avevo fatto mi disse: “ Dario hai unito i DUE MONDI della tua vita: quello della tua fanciullezza con la sensibilità del sognatore con quello concreto che ti hanno insegnato i tuoi genitori con l'educazione, la formazione (laurea in Scienze Economiche) e il lavoro iniziato a 15 anni nella industria di rame della tua famiglia. Questi anni di formazione avevano allontanato quelli dell'infanzia quando studiavo il pianoforte e sognavo di diventare direttore d'orchestra. Inoltre disegnavo e dipingevo con la mia fantasia alla ricerca degli affetti che mi mancavano essendo i miei genitori impegnati in fabbrica a ricostruire l’Italia distrutte dalla guerra da poco terminata. Ho poi affinato la FOTO-PITTURA che si è sviluppata nella ELABORAZIONE DIGITALE avendo sostituito il PENNELLO con il MOUSE per riempire i vuoti lasciati dalla fotografia e completare la REALTA' che con la pittura diventava un'altra realtà FANTASTICA.
RICERCA SOCIALE
Questo lavoro fa parte della "ricerca" SOCIALE che affronta temi che riguardano le persone e la “polis” che in latino significa città ma anche “modello politico
I LOVE MANHATTANNel 1999 sono stato invitato a fare una mostra alla Casa Italiana Zerilli Marimò di New York prevista nel mese di settembre 2000. Così mi recai per la prima volta nella GRANDE MELA a 50 anni e rimasi stupito dalla grande energia vitale che avvertivo. Fino ad allora avevo viaggiato poco all’estero perchè impegnato negli studi, nello sport e già a 19 anni nell’industria di rame della mia famiglia e dopo pochi anni anche con i figli che ho curato molto sin dalla loro venuta al mondo.
A NY scattai molte foto, ma questo lavoro nacque da un’altra immagine: la piantina della fantasmagorica metropolitana!!! Fu semplice per me che sin da bambino guardavo le nuvole dove vedevo tante forme di persone, animali etc. vedere al primo impatto la pruna di un Jumbo il famoso gigante dei cieli e schizzai qualche bozzetto.
Al rientro a Roma ero innamorato di NY e fu semplice vedere in quella mappa un’altra immagine che è legata strettamente con l’amore. Il pene maschile che mi univa in modo indissolubile alla città-donna! Così nacque I LOVE MANHATTAN che con SPEAKING PARADISE - R. 1655 e FRESH FISH - R.1657 sono i 3 lavori che mi legano di più alla GRANDE MELA.
