Art Direction's Advice
Art Gallery Third Millennium
I particularly liked the painting of Valeria Gubbati.
I would like to set it as a graffiti. As soon as I saw reminded me Jean-Michel Basquiat, the same strength; even if it recalls the oceanic art. The artist with her painting leaves a warning.
The Basquiat's warning maybe was addressed to himself and his troubled life. The Gubbati's one recalls the present facts, difficult and contradictory times.
The Gubbati's Taonga is not properly a copy of a typical subject of oceanic art but it is a formal reference. The way of representation in fact gets over and puts it in a context of absolute contemporaneity where it can be an apotropaic symbol.
