CHARLES JEAN PAUL |
La ricerca spasmodica dell’uomo verso il suo simile, inteso come coadiutore nella risposta mancata, è ormai ridotta |
PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT CHARLES JEAN PAUL CONTEMPORARY ART EXIBITION: Stop walking on my back Artist CHARLES JEAN PAUL Personal Exhibition OPENING: Saturday 26th February 7.30 PM > 30TH April 2011 Saturdays and Sundays from 3.30 PM to 6.30 PM Other days upon appointment Catalogue available Charles Jean Paul – Hidden meanings of scratched signals Man’s spasmodic search for a fellow creature, a coadjutor in ungiven answers, is now reduced to a minimum: too many converging and diverging signals, too many personal idiosyncrasies trespassing and overwhelming others people’s demand, while we keep chasing a mirage that we expect to be above all just a mirage. It is the modern iconography of the indistinct that lets the expressive universe of individuals close in a redundancy of styles, multiplying the emotional rescues in the name of an emergency which is becoming harder and harder to recognize. Charles Jean Paul is still shaking with courage Diogenes’ lantern in order to search in every single expressive part of it the sign of that more than extinguished, confused Man. His anthropomorphic figures, and by saying this we say his contemporary abstract style, are imploding with a variety of inner cross-references, gone out towards the extreme recomposition of the human aim to understand and being understood. The forms overlap in a desperate effort to point out stratifications, which, like the concentric circles of a tree or the isoconcretions of rocks, are meant to testify a route, a choice, a direction even and above all when it has been miserably disregarded. The concise, large brush work intended to gather in some way the contour, just undoes the perspective and brings us the memory of the previous moment, an ante position of the bygone future, a sad mimic of the time we cannot stop, and we consider this noble effort as the attempt to communicate the very anxiety of centuries, in articulo mortis. Poses are asphyctic, deformed, limping in an interposed desire to assist to the indelible shadow of the Beauty impressed to his Olympic eye. The subject treated by Charles, that is to say the challenge to dimension black as a predicted deepness of shadows, in order to contain the iconographic fluctuation of the miserable remains, leads him to work on space as an ante-litteram setting, and to decrypt the morgue hurry that has confounded halluces and identification badges. Actually, the broken reflected spotlight is always alert and out of stage, to infuse a dynamic which is only optic in the front stage of false repentances and still induces us to consider human body as a box of functions and feelings. It is mark, instead, in Charles Jean Paul’s work, always, even when the delocalization of the informal seems to distract the chromatic arc in a sequence of generous performances. In Charles Jean Paul it is impossible to follow further the plot of opportune deduction, scenic or theoretic and even the visual gaudium of whirling symbols becomes healthily impossible to face, in an aesthetic reconciliation, because the glance is always turned elsewhere, to the documents, to the expired pass, to the check-in, always postponed to a minute ago, of the eternal departure of Man towards what someone told him to be, one day, his cosmic finality. Worn out, invalidated traits, rejected by the scanner. Sergio Gabriele Paolo Avigo's translation |
