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.
VESUVIUS BY BOAT
The Gulf of Naples is the lungs of the city that breathes and makes even me, an allergic asthmatic, breathe (better) because the view of the horizon expands my lungs. Furthermore, the sea reflects the sun's rays like a mirror that illuminates the entire city which climbs the hill like a nativity scene... But there is also Vesuvius, a symbol of death over the millennia, the death that Neapolitans have within themselves and which It makes them so cheerful because it could come at any time without warning. From here comes their fatalism and always being positive in the face of misfortunes! But in this picture I have entrusted Vesuvius with another task. With a wave of my magic wand (imagination) I detached it from the ground (and from its function!) and it became the hull of the boat that runs fast. In the background, notice the thin black line that outlines the shape of Vesuvius. But there are two others with the numbers 4241 and 4245, of the same format, but obviously different where the Vesuvius has become the Spinnaker of the boat, the large bow sail that collects the weak wind when reaching... or both SPI and hull! Thus a frightening and monstrous thing became a streamlined hull and a light sail moved by the breath of the weak wind... As if to forget the gigantic destructive power of Vesuvius which in 79 (almost 2000 years ago) destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum, killing thousands of people especially suffocating them with dust scattered over tens of kilometres!
