A collaboration show by Made Wianta & Filippo Sciascia
Gaya Gallery, the leading contemporary art space in Bali, presents "Opposite
Attract ", an exhibition which brings together two artists, Filippo Sciascia
(Italy) and Made Wianta (Indonesia). The opening will be held at Gaya Fusion of
Senses, on December 17th, 2004 at 7 pm.
Referring to the History of Art, especially in the 90's with Pop Art,
collaboration between artists "Four Hands" artworks became common and artists
were willing to work together, exchanging ideas, fusing their techniques and
concept.
As Jean-Michel Basquiat who developed a close relationship with Andy Warhol.
During this friendship the two artists collaborated on a series that was
exhibited in 1985 that featured corporate logos and cartoon characters. He also
collaborated with the Italian artist Francesco Clemente on several other
paintings.
"OPPOSITE - ATTRACT", brings us to a literal "4 Hands" Exhibition. Wianta and
Sciascia collaborated on a series of works that brings together two very
opposite painting styles, ABSTRACT & FIGURATIVE.
Opposite - attract shows a combination of two opposite art styles which finally
attract and fuse on the canvas, but remain distinguishable.
As Basquiat and Warhol, Sciascia and Wianta have developed for the past 3 years
a close friendship, respecting and admiring each other artworks, spending time
exchanging ideas, comments and critics. That's how simply and naturally the idea
of an entire (total or absolute) collaboration came up and took place through
this all series of paintings.
Lines and figures are crossing, meeting and dialoging in time and space. Their
paths are crossing in Europe and Asia, East and West. Two artists from different
cultures meet and find that they have something to say to each other. Within the
relation between their own and foreign culture they chat with each other in the
world language of universal art.
When Figures and Lines become ONE, complete and define each other. Two opposite
concepts, two opposite perspectives, two opposite styles.cross, meet and
dialogue to finally attract and become unity.
