About the Item
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.
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, studies (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. In fact my parents were busy in the factory (copper production) 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.
PLACES OF MEMORY Cities
This work is part of the "research" PLACES OF MEMORY Cities revisited by me in a fantastic way. In fact I use my exclusive PHOTOPAINTING technique with a photographic element to which I add painting (oil or acrylic) to create a NEW REALITY.
TWO LONELY PINESIn this picture I have combined my 2 cities where I lived for a long time: on the left Naples from 1948 to 1984 and on the right Rome from 1984 to 2018 when I returned to Naples. Among the many possible symbols I chose 2: for Naples the gulf with Vesuvius and Castellovo and for Rome a glimpse of Villa Medici, home of the French Academy (the country I love most after Italy!). Two completely different worlds, Naples bursting with sunlight that illuminates the side of Villa Medici which is the symbol of a family that made Florence and the art of the Renaissance great! But the incredible element of connection between the two cities is the PINE tree which actually exists in Villa Medici. Instead, I painted the one in Naples which was demolished in 1984 due to illness after having made Naples famous throughout the world for almost 2 centuries!
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, gli studi (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. Infatti 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.
LUOGHI DELLA MEMORIA Le Città
Questo lavoro fa parte della "ricerca" LUOGHI DELLA MEMORIA Le Città rivisitate da me in modo fantastico. Infatti utilizzo la mia tecnica esclusiva FOTOPITTURA con un elemento fotografico al quale aggiungo la pittura (a olio o acrilico) per creare una NUOVA REALTA'.
DUE PINI SOLITARI
In questo quadro ho unito le mie 2 città dove ho vissuto a lungo: sulla sinistra Napoli dal 1948 al 1984 e a destra Roma dal 1984 al 2018 quando sono ritornato a Napoli. Tra i tanti possibili simboli ne ho presi 2: per Napoli il golfo con il Vesuvio e il Castellovo e per Roma uno squarcio di villa Medici sede della Accademia di Francia (il paese che amo di più dopo l’Italia!). Due mondi completamente diversi, Napoli che sprizza luce solare che illumina la fiancata di Villa Medici che è simbolo di una famiglia che ha reso grande Firenze e l’arte del Rinascimento! Ma l’elemento incredibile di congiunzione tra le due città è il PINO che è realmente esistente quello di Villa Medici. Invece l’ho realizzato io in pittura quello di Napoli che è stato abbattuto nel 1984 per malattia dopo aver reso Napoli famosa nel mondo per quasi 2 secoli!

"This artwork pays attention on the issue of sustainability. In fact, I am an Italian teacher and I often talk in the classroom about these questions specially during civics classes. Originally, I was intent on creating a giant wave because I was born and I lived in a small village near the sea. Subsequently, I changed my idea because my brush painted this scenary by itself. I love the oil on canvas technique also because I can blend the colour for hours as in this case where the waves break up in the fluidity of the sea". Sabrina Pugliese
Sabrina Pugliese was born on April 2nd, 1990 in a small village in the Southern Italy, Nova Siri. Since she was a child, she was interested in arts in their different forms: singing, playing piano and visual arts. She graduated in Modern Literature at the University of Urbino, in the heart of the Italian Renaissance, the birthplace of Raffaello Sanzio. She didn’t have the chance to attend artistic high school because it was too far from home. So, after the graduation, she began to devote herself to her passions: painting, exclusively oil on canvas. She has started painting as a self-trained painter to promote and improve her territory, Basilicata, also named Lucania. Nowadays, she expanded her project because she wants to spread Mediterranean holidays’ colours, sounds and perfumes, with the image of the sea, all over the world. She knows that painting can give voice to landscapes of the soul through seascapes. She lived for ten years away from home to study and work and, in this way, she created a stronger relationship with her origins. During the pandemic, she has decided to return to Basilicata to offer her small contribution to the Southern of Italy.
She has participated in several national and international exhibitions including:
• Collective exhibition with two painters: Giulio Orioli e Nino Oriolo for “Night of the brigands” 2019, in Nova Siri Centre (MT) thank to collaboration of Maria De Lorenzo...
