IMMAGINE TEMPO Warriors, plastic, broken CDs and butterflies
Mythological warriors, black and pink flamingos, birds and colorful fish, dancers, universes of shadow cut out of paper, butterflies and broken CDs, throwing out flashes of Venetian color and light, make up the “Immagine Tempo” cycle: a set of collages that agglutinate various plastic techniques created by the Italian artist, living in Madrid, Andrea Perissinotto, who intends to launch a message of struggle and hope to those who may be socially excluded due to their sexual orientation.
At first glance, the vividness of the colors used by the artist stands out, as well as the symmetrical composition of the collages, in which you can perceive an inner universe full of small characters that give life and movement to the work.
Hieratic or in action, dressed and naked, of different human species and races ... the author articulates a world of fish, dolls, mannequins, naked archers, fighters, mermaids and fish-men, who interact whether they know it or not to express a feeling of effort and overcoming differences in pursuit of a more livable and welcoming, idyllic world, in which no one feels excluded.
Characters entangled in many cases in a shady cloth forged from minute cuts of gray, white and black paper. Alongside vertical paper boats are embracing couples, mermaids and butterflies diving in a bleak, dark blue-green sea.
Mythological warriors, black and pink flamingos, birds and goldfish, ballet dancers, shadowy universes made out of paper, butterflies and broken CD's, which throw gleams of Venetian light and colours, compound the cycle 'Immagine Tempo': a series of collages where different artistic techniques are used, created by the Italian artist Andrea Perissinotto (San Donà di Piave, Venice, 1981), who pretends to send a message of hopefulness and fight, to anyone who may be socially excluded because of his/her sexual tendency.
At first sight, the brightness of the colours used by the artist is highlighted, as well as the asymmetric composition of the collages, where an inner universe, full of small characters, give liveliness and movement to the pictures.
Hieratical or in action, naked or not, from different species and human races… the author makes up a world of fish, dolls, dummies, naked archers, fighters, mermaids and 'fish-men' who interact either they know it or not- to express a feeling of effort and overcoming differences, in order to achieve a more comfortable and habitable world, idyllic, where nobody will be excluded.
Characters involved, in many cases, in a shadowy piece of cloth forged thanks to grey, white and black paper meticulously cut. Next to vertical paper ships, we can find couples of people embracing each other, mermaids and butterflies, which dive in a turquoise sea, dark and shadowy.
Focusing on the homosexual topic, but involving the reality of other excluded collectives, the collages mean, -the artist says- the 'effort' towards a “war of symbols to say that we are armed, but we do not want a conflict. We want to show our own personality”. Perissinotto remarks: “We want to face this world, we are looking for a dialogue. Facing people who oppress differences because, instead of that, these should be a reason to grow altogether”.
Coming back to homosexuality, slim male bodies dance and stare defiantly, irreverently wearing skirts from female 1st Holy Communion dresses. With the concentric circles, which articulate most collages in 'Immagine tempo', the author pretends to express his personal universe, in the North of Italy. A country where he thinks- sexual freedom has to fight against a great number of prejudices and social barriers, pretty different from the Spanish reality, where it does exist a law for homosexual marriage.
The circles, brilliant and vigorous, represent “a starting point” which is not closed, but “interacts with other topics” and “serves to spread the artist's horizons”.
