"You are here"
presents a careful selection of works from 2008 to
the present. The artist
has dedicated this series of works to the theme of man’s made transformation of the planet
through biotechnology and electronics, the conditioning of communities, social migration
and
a general scientific resear
ch. The use of different languages, from installations to paintings and
digital works, is a functional way to tell a world re
-
built by man of the needs for a non
-
linear
approach to the understanding of a dense system of symbols that characterizes the
contemporary world, a colorful and joyous language with a surprising vitality and
analysis.
The effort on the experimental research of De Paris combined with different expressive
techniques and the variety of materials used, exalt his poetry: "In my research, we can identify
some
constant themes
”, the
such as my interest in other disciplines as biology, poetry,
sociology, history, geopolitics, and design; this is my vision of the world around us and what
will become as everything seems to be so unlikely, unpredictable and invisible
. The effort is to
perceive reality as a mosaic of a half
-
reality of various sizes, a multi
-
universe”.
He adds: "The
artist must exalt in his imagination the content of contemporary life which intervenes in the
expansion of the universe with immense and fa
ntastic ideas, launching luminous signals”.
Enrico
T.
De Paris documents the "state of affairs" and through h
is images and his writings,
which
revolve around the man of today, he invents new metaphors to recognize a new planet
and suggests the possibility
of building a new world, an actual extraordinary moment, places
of the soul, spaces of the mind. It shows how an artist can always pick the most challenging
and positive aspects of the society around him in a world which is constantly more complex,
fluid
and fragmented that enables him develop
a poetry that evolves over time.
