Ghosts of the Voice: Antonio Stagnoli

暫無暫無暫無尚無足夠評分

Ghosts of the voice - Antonio Stagnoli, commissioned by gallery director Arialdo Ceribelli, describes Antonio Stagnoli's works and world, a deaf-mute painter from the age of two, born in Bagolino in 1922. Antonio Stagnoli dreams his life among living and inanimate connections, those of his house and his places. As to his relationship with the real world, he perceives and describes only echoes coming from a dark realm, in the restless hiss of a way of conceiving, here conveyed by Tom Cora's cello. An "expressionism filled with local tones", and also with few oneiric tinges almost Lithuanian, gives rhythm to Antonio Stagnoli's voice telling about the "Polyptych" of his life and stares at the darkness (of cinema), trying to say something else. And around there, as enrico ghezzi says, "it seems to us that animals are like hypnotised. Nobody actually knows whether they have been gazed by someone, or what happened to them, whether they have been to the movies, or they come from the movies.
