Unique work
Chance generates art, and art generates chance
The relationship between chance and art has been a debated topic in the artistic world for a long time. Many artists used the element of chance as part of the creative process, leading to surprising and unexpected results, and enabling the creation of unique and original works.
Let’s consider Jackson Pollock’s dripping technique, which gives way to unpredictability creating magnificent artistic expression.
But what if chance was the determining factor of a painting’s subject, rather than the casualty of the painting action? What would happen then?
Can art be generated by chance? And if so, can art, in turn, generate chance in return?
These are the questions that launched my new project, which involves the creations of paintings based on a random element, or rather, two random elements.
The idea is to use social media to collect words, based on the initial letter I propose.
Through a random drawing, I select two among those words, they will determinate the creation of the artwork not before having analyzed, studied and processed these terms, in order to become something that makes sense.
So, in this case, the draw of two words which have been gifted me, effectively generates art but, on the contrary, art does not generate chance because each piece beholds its own message, its own story and reason, which implies a process of thought and selection.
C come Caramella, C come Cazzo.
Chance generates art, art generates chance.
Candy (Caramella) and Dick (Cazzo) are the two words withdrawn for the third painting.
It is a very simple matter for those who elaborate laws, but not only. Also for a big slice of our civilized society based on some retrograde and rooted prejudice: it is your fault, Woman. Yours who get out all alone, yours who dress up that way, yours posing, yours who move sinuously while dancing, yours wearing makeup, yours smiling, yours giving a look, yours drinking. You are the one having to justify yourself in front of the justice, not who overtook, violated, abused and hit you. And while many countries are introducing a law according to which any sex without consent is considered rape, in Italy bias are often the ones sentencing verdicts.
So, instead of feeling free of always doing what you want, remember, Woman, the old advice you kept hearing as a child: do not accept candies from unknown people, because behind that gift could be hiding an ogre, proud of his penis and aware of being able to commit his mischiefs in the name of his superiority, with the father/owner right acquired during the past centuries.
There will always be someone assuming you asked for that candy.
