VERNISSAGE - November 7 2006 LipanjePuntin artecontemporanea is pleased to present SPQR (Sex, Philosophy, Quirks, Religion) a personal Giacon Massimo (Padova, 1961).
Combining its roots in a radical comic creative talent for over twenty years, Giacon will remain an unclassifiable writer, a talented visionary who invented amazing worlds and characters ranging from drawings, paintings, illustration, advertising ଠ digital artwork, installation projects, video games, design objects (Alessi, Memphis, Swatch, Artemis, Yoox?).
The exhibition, curated by Gianluca Marziani , traveling back to track characters, views and radical history, a retrospective in progress with some of the most significant works of recent years, such as, Personal Jesus with the gradual disintegration of the body of Christ or a few pieces of Sexorcismo and Philosophers in the Pop Planet, where the great philosophical personalities find themselves in a world of science fiction, splatter breakers, b-movie references from American and continuous stylistic inventions. And then more players, a kind of physical modeling of our inner world of hidden desires, of the excesses that everyone brings in a long journey into fetishes, the links between disease and desire, sex and culture of adult play in transgression as a form of spiritual growth.
Giacon's work adheres to the phenomenon of "Pop Surrealism", layering styles and visual suggestions, hiding inside the messages and language games. His images are a provocation of the completed form information and funds, a push iperpop where the normal swells in his psychotic delusions.
