La galleria francesco pantaleone arte Contemporanea, apre la nuova stagiona con la personale dell’artista inglese Andrew Mania, già noto in Inghilterra ed America per i sui intensi ritratti e le composizioni dal sapore decadente.
"His art exists in a sleeping world in which eroticism fuses with historical memory and beauty that can be found through obsessive desire. Does the making of art bring catharsis and release or does it serve to increase the agony? Perhaps a little bit of both. Because real art is more than merely therapeutic for its maker, for it needs to convey to others essential and universal truths which can bring us enlightenment as the artist invites us to share in his predicament. For this artist there is the possibility of also understanding the comedy of the human condition, even within situations of displacement, whether through the vagaries of history, that with variations are a constant in our world, or through more personal situations, agonised martyrdoms or slings and arrows. Andrew Mania expresses in his own personal way some very private moments with which we can all nonetheless identify." (Sir Norman Rosenthal)
