Lucio Diodato
Galerie Brehova, Prague
Harlequin sen. Recent works. Diodati covers up one of his figure's face, making us accomplices of a mysterious and sometimes erotic game. There is erotism in women who appear close to Arlecchino.
Arlecchino immediately enchants us, he capturees our looks whit his coloured patches and, above all, with his mask. Diodati covers up one of his figure's face, making us accomplices of a mysterious and sometimes erotic game. There is erotism in women who appear close to Arlecchino. There is erotism in their way to appear so sure and intentionally provocative toward a person we don't know who it is, if a man or a woman, a friend or a lover.
The simply way in which women live with this coloured figure make us think about it. A deeper, more provoking reflection makes us wonder if there is just the paiter behind that mask... Is it Diodati, who wants to appear in his artistic world, even if hidden? His spell is in holding in a mask the segret of a more and more innovative painting, of an art which pierces us, which allows us to pretend, which is what we like most... to be ourselves behind that mask, to be able to live in the infinite and sparkling places of art.
