Vincenzo Torcello – Why not Utopia ?

Vincenzo Torcello in his new research takes a journey that leads him to dialogue with his own time in direct contact. On the unstoppable river of history, the artist “manipulates” the news in the service of creative inspiration seeking harmony in opposing tensions. Through this ritual, the creative process becomes an effective antidote, so even a newspaper destined for maceration is a precious source of true information when it leaves room for the artist’s voice, rewriting a new visual code, an unpublished piece of real . The artist moves on the face of existence by finding shelter in art, a place of active and resilient hope, an oasis of free and tolerant thought that balances the changing nature of the world where everything flows and nothing remains.

The artist uses several expressive registers by intervening on pages of everyday matter and color. He rips, eradicates and overlaps natural materials including branches, leaves and eggs. The newspaper is also a grid that allows Torcello various interventions which, thanks to his pictorial sensibility, give added value given by a “creative” without purely conceptual assumptions.
Nature and culture inhabit the same dwelling in a cosmic space, where the boundaries between organic and inorganic are subtle, converge into one another in the desire to center life and a new humanism at the service of art and of the creation. A utopia? Why Not Utopia?
