EMBROIDERED CRITICISM
“Sono diverse le ragioni che mi hanno spinto ad emulare, nel mio ricamo, la recente serie di lavori tratta da “Beardary” (2016) ed eseguita da Gilbert e George. Il duo inglese si ritrae configurandosi in due doppie croci di Sant’Andrea e, con i loro pattern rossi negli abiti che vestono, ricordano il tanto caro e amato Super Mario games nato sul finire degli anni Ottanta dello scorso secolo. E come in “The X Factor” sono pronti per iniziare a danzare il tortuoso passo dell’arte post-pop. Reputo, infatti, questo lavoro molto sinestetico, induce il fruitore a guardare oltre i generi dell’identità e lo accompagna sulle montagne russe dell’arte che dovrà darne carica, energia, ottimismo commutativo”. “There are several reasons that led me to emulate, in my embroidery, the recent series of works taken from "Beardary" (2016) and performed by Gilbert and George. The English duo portrays himself as two double crosses of Saint Andrew and, with their red patterns in the clothes they dress, they recall the dear and beloved Super Mario games born in the late eighties of the last century. And as in "The X Factor", they are ready to start dancing the tortuous step of post-pop art. In fact, I consider this work to be very synaesthetic, it induces the user to look beyond the genres of identity and accompanies him on the roller coaster of art that must give it charge, energy, commutative optimism”. author: Gabriele Romeo ©️ Title: Gilbert & George | Synesthesia Hand embroidery with cotton on canvas size: 50 x 40 cm Venice, May 31, 2020.

From Fondation Louis Vuitton’s Instagram Stories for occasion of the event dedicated to Bertrand Lavier. "The expression of the kiss that materializes beyond contact in Bertrand Lavier's work" La Bocca / Bosch "(2015). The design of the armchair, warm in the enunciative relationship of the emulating image of the lips on a pedestal refrigerator, freezes the media, interpreted by the French artist in a dampening discussion in that McLuhanian dichotomy in which the media used in the post-war art were classified: hot and cold: painting and color domination, superlativity of electronic technology? Well this work is a conjuncture that tries to put a balance, an ex voto to the emotional relationship in the feelings of contact with the static interpretation of hibernation. Filtering and delicate, the lips 👄 invite to a multiplicity of unexpected, unscheduled behaviors, unmistakably reminding us of the warm ones in the depictions of Warhol, or Martial Raysse." author: Gabriele Romeo ©️ Title: Gilbert & George | Synesthesia Hand embroidery with cotton on canvas size: 15 x 15 cm Venice, June 4, 2020.
“L’espressione del bacio che si materializza oltre in contatto nell’opera “La Bocca/Bosch” (2015) di Bertrand Lavier. Il Design della poltrona, caldo nella relazione enunciativa dell’immagine emulante le labbra sopra un frigorifero piedistallo, sbriglia i media, interpretarti dall’artista francese in una discussione smorzante in quella dicotomia McLuhaniana nella quale vennero classificati i media impiegati nell’arte del dopoguerra: caldi e freddi: pittura e dominio del colore, superlatività della tecnologia elettronica? Ebbene, quest’opera è una congiuntura che cerca di porre un equilibrio, un ex voto alla relazione emotiva nei sentimenti del contatto con la statica interpretazione dell’ibernazione. Filtranti e delicate, le labbra invitano ad una molteplicità di comportamenti inaspettati, non programmati, ricordandoci inequivocabilmente quelle calde nelle raffigurazione di Warhol, o di Martial Raysse.” author: Gabriele Romeo ©️ Title: Gilbert & George | Synesthesia Hand embroidery with cotton on canvas size: 15 x 15 cm Venice, June 4, 2020.
