Hominis : works and creations of Paolo Zingone, of A.Foti (2/3)
The abstract and indefinite character and the typical orientation in space of some of the Hominis recall without doubts the art of De Chirico, revised with wisdom by Zingone in unique and original ways.
But under a careful scrutiny of these works one can detect, with enough evidence, a soul that recalls a Pirandello point of view that bestows them with a more introspective character.
The deepness of their glances, their meditative behaviour, their position and their relations in space, the kind of bodies and their movements express the fatigue man undergoes everyday giving sense to his own existence and it lets emerge the complex psychological dilemma which each man struggles with.
It's pretty evident, by looking at Zingone's other works, how much this expressive and meditative charge doesn't burn out only in the creation of sculptures.
His acrylic and oil paintings reveal with refined elegance how he has overcome the pop art views and they expose us to an absolute unique and original use of colours. In portraits as much is in indefinite subjects, Zingone mends together, with particular and characteristic symmetries, the lines of cold and warm colours thus creating images that express all the emotional charge and dynamism of the never ending interior research.
A recurring aspect particularly dear to the artist is the representation of man in continuous movement and in a never ending search for himself as if travelling by stages in reality and in a fantasy realm, in material and spiritual dimensions, where the relation of these two dimensions becomes the most important metaphor of public and private existence.
