Saropuma. Frammenti

More than 15 years of the artist's Sicilian, but now a naturalized Saropuma Turin, born in Ribera (Ag) in 1963, in the exhibition that opens at the Gallery  Coen of Turin Coen, buttress corner of the Piazza Carlo Emanuele II, n. 17, but for all Piazza Carlina.
The exhibition integrates several cycles of works, "The blue of the blue" in 1995, the loneliness of "choral Pages" in 2002 and "Homer the poet outside" of 2010, works different but united
by the desire to keep the work true to his first language system, painting.
 Marked to emphasize the mismatch between the flow of external reality and time to recall attraction, given by the fixity of the seductive figures, the artist's works apply a mild spell, made of colored backgrounds full-bodied, deep-set, as memories of African views on which subjects women often have a slow contemplation, calm, fueled by the feeling to find yourself something primitive.
He argued with much reason Leon Battista Alberti that beauty is a form of defense, and this idea seem to make up the paintings of Saropuma; of screens, shelters, in defense of something inner, intangible, precious and fragile. That delicate and variable system that protects the art from the check, the conformism, the serial images, which renews his strength of eccentricity and surprise.
With equal sensitivity curator Patricia Miotto finds in the works of those issues that Saropuma "refer to a strong and compelling vision of a complex reality and at the same time extremely skinny: Women, birds, gold, alphabets, animals in a continuous déjà vu that lead vibration of the strings never the same. Does not leave, not even the dream and the memory where the image is distorted into a fixed movement and suspended matter in a mysterious and ineffable, just that they are made of dreams and memories everyone.
