Do you think Contemporary Art is multidimensional, how
would you define it?
Certo
l'arte contemporanea deve ricercare continuamente nuove frontiere espressive,
senz'altro anche multidimensionali, su questo non ci sono dubbi. Però sono
anche convinto che una certa manualità non tramonterà mai, il disegno e la
pittura sono processi umani primari e saranno sempre presenti nel panorama
artistico. De Dominicis diceva che un artista che si esprime evitando il
disegno o la pittura non sceglie di farlo, semplicemente non è capace!
Certainly contemporary
art must continually seek new frontiers of expression, certainly also
multidimensional, there is no doubt about this. But I am also convinced that a
certain manuality is primordial, drawing and painting processes are primary
human and will always be present in the art scene. De Dominicis said that an
artist who expresses himself by avoiding drawing or painting does not choose to
do it, it just is not capable of!
Ciertamente el arte contemporáneo tiene que indagar continuamente nuevas fronteras de expresión, por supuesto también multidimensionales. no cabe duda sobre esto. Aunque estoy convencido de que una cierta manualidad es primordial, el proceso del dibujo y la pintura son primordialmente humanos y siempre estarán presentes en la escena del arte. Los Dominicos decían que un artista quien se expresa evitando el dibujo ó la pintura no es porque lo elija sino porque no es capaz de hacerlo.
