Materism and richly imaginative colours:
Giorgio De Cesario’s art.
Relief faces gazing at the surrounding world, flexuose and catlike bodies, perhaps waiting for the onlooker’s mental photographs: all of that on a decorated background where the colour takes on new shades and an upsetting intenseness.
This is Giorgio De Cesario’s art, a new expression but ancient as well, if we consider the details, the neatness of strokes, the careful study of the colour.
The faces in relief and the chromatic interplay emphasize the subjects of the paintings which aren’t only of philosophical origin, such as “The Sacred and Profane” and “Dread of living”.
They very often deal with current problems, see for example “A Depressed Woman”, “Immigrants”, “Hailey’s Comet”.
Philosophy and reality interpenetrate, speak to onlookers and, at the same time, they let them free to interpret and let their imagination wander so as to get lost in remote and long-forgotten thoughts, all that in order to recover their mind, body and soul.
