Antonio Murgia

Murgia’s art was born then on the border of an act of decomposition and authentic appropriation of reality reworked in painting as a complex construct of fragments and structures which permeate reality.

Color, chromatism marks the transition from analysis to synthesis of this process, laying the foundations for the final moment of the deconstruction action: irony. The lighting of the colors, strong, in contrast with each other, fill the view, but always with balance, according to a greater plan of recomposition and not of rejection of the world which, governed by an aesthetic ideal that reflects the existential ideal of harmony, of order against chaos, gives shape to the Murgia world.

Irony as a true act of rebellion against reality that overturns the rules of the game: here the anti-naturalistic colors mean precisely this and it becomes interesting to read the chromatism itself in the conscious and sometimes unconscious action that creates the subject, the face, like a narrative text in which being able to signify elements of sensations, of emotions experienced and translated into the pictorial gesture, almost hidden in the work of semantic recomposition of reality.-

A fusion, therefore, of traits of mass culture that designs the world of the surface and the liquidity of meanings recomposed in a spatial and figurative order that has the traits of human faces, the ultimate synthesis of chaos in order, in balance and in the harmony of the face which becomes a container and source of arrangement of the chaotic world of language of the consumer society.
