Dopo le esposizioni in Oriente, con la grande mostra antologica di Pechino, la collettiva a Shanghai organizzata dall’Università Jiao Tong Shanghai e quella di Seul World Art Expo, Lorenzo Marini (LORENZO MARINI GROUP) ritorna in Occidente, con una decina di opere esposte al Chelsea, il quartiere di Manhattan dove hanno sede le principali gallerie d’arte internazionali. Fino al 22 agosto sarà possibile visitare la Amsterdam Whitney Gallery al 210 Eleventh Avenue New York, NY 10001.
La ricerca artistica di Marini continua dunque ad affrontare il tema dei linguaggi, trasformando le lettere in icone contemporanee, proprio come succede nel mondo della comunicazione, dove il sogno di ogni brand è quello di diventare riferimento sociale per la comunità. Tra le opere esposte figura un innesto linguistico, capace di dialogare tra lo stile figurativo e quello tipografico.
“Viviamo nel tempo della contaminazione permanente, l’arte contemporanea ha il dovere di mettere assieme i frammenti della società, le sue parole visive, le sue comunicazioni. In questo tempo di divisione, il linguaggio diventa invece un momento di inclusione, può diventare l’elemento che unisce il mondo, anziché dividerlo” commenta Marini. nella nota.
La presentazione di Ruthie Tucker, Executive Director e Curator
“There is neither painting, nor sculpture, nor music, nor poetry. The only truth is Creation,” renowned Italian artist, Lorenzo Marini is intrigued by this mantra. Committed to creativity, this visionary artist ingeniously recontextualizes a fresh perspective on art, uniquely encapsulating the employment of Typography in his paintings. Globally acclaimed for founding the “Type Art,” movement, his innovative oeuvre liberates letters from their conventional role I an algrorithmic style which visualizes the universe through the tantalizing repetition of letters, shapes and figures which are conveyed by a complement of chromatic colorization.
Cleverly recalibrating the role of letters in art, Lorenzo Marini’s “Type Art” focuses on the visual potential of typography, challenging traditional perceptions of written communication. With the emphasis on the aesthetic liberation of letters, he treats them as independent visual entities rather than mere components of words. Delving into the evolution of writing and the influence of communication in the digital age, Lorenzo Marini’s graphic-painterly “Typo-centric” compositions are a fusion of art and language, which challenge us to explore the complex relationship of communication in our modern world.
Creatively accentuating the aesthetic potential of typographic elements, Lorenzo Marini boldly personalizes the alphabet by converging it with art. Magnifying alphabetical letters and enlarging figures and objects, he adroitly intersects graphic design and advertising concepts. One can easily imagine the original Madison Ad Man “Influencer,” Don Draper, from “Mad Man” incorporating Lorenzo Marini’s works into a hybrid artistic universe. Garnering vital attention in our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram age, Mr. Marini’s new visual lexicon metaphorically employs themes of memory, identity and transformation.
Realigning an innovative linguistic world, his prismatic lens defines a new connectivity with our alphabetical oral and written communication, reflecting a richly layered world, reverberating with a new nexus of communication. Comparable to an artistic jigsaw puzzle or a chess board
featuring letters as the central figures, Lorenzo Marini’s artistic hybridization creates intricate visual mosaics. Alphabetical letters provide clues to the metaphoric narratives which are replete with symbols, figures and textures.
Beguiling the eye with a unique artistic vision that intertwines form, color, and narrative, this Italian Master blends cultural symbols with iconic letters and social themes, fusing them into a distinctive visual style. Seamlessly reinterpreting the aesthetics of repetition, he underscores the importance of letters into our richly textured world where visual
patterns become a conduit for emotional resonance and historical reflection. Internationally showcased, this globalite artist has been featured in prestigious world-wide exhibitions and his artwork is treasured in both private and public collections”.
