ICONE CONTEMPORANEE

Le opere qui presentate rappresentano il gruppo di lavori pittorici denominati “icone contemporanee” dei quali fanno parte il dittico “Explorer 4.5”, “Netscape” (i primi, realizzati fra il 2000 e il 2001), il trittico “Adidas”, “Nike”, “Reebok” , realizzati nel 2002, e le divise monetarie realizzate nel 2003.
Si tratta in breve di opere che si relazionano alla contemporaneità intesa nei suoi rapporti con i credo collettivi. In questi dipinti, decisamente sintetici come stile, ho voluto riassumere il concetto che, a mio avviso, è fra i più pregnanti nell’oggi, ovvero il successo, rappresentato dal denaro.
La corsa al successo e lo stato sociale assunto da ciò che assurge a simbolo di un buon posizionamento sociale, vincente appunto, può essere simboleggiata secondo uno dei paradigmi rappresentativi dell’idolatria dell’antichità e cioè l’iconizzazione dei loghi e dei simboli che la rappresentano. Ho scelto di utilizzare la tecnica antica della doratura a bolo con foglia d’oro, un processo lento e meditativo che porta alla riflessione profonda sulle immagini che si fissano nella tavola pittoricamente. L’oro, metafora dell’eden, nobilita e deifica il logo, lo eleva alla sua massima potenza mediatica, proprio come avveniva con le immagini sacre della religione cristiana, soprattutto quella ortodossa.
In queste opere è il denaro, con i simboli delle divise monetarie più potenti di oggi a fungere da icona del credo contemporaneo, culto e divinità dell’oggi, simulacro religioso di una realizzazione del sé fondata sul potere. L’ultima della icone rappresenta la riflessione finale sul ciclo di opere, ovvero l’interrogativo su ciò che verrà poi, o semplicemente, in maniera ambivalente, su quale sarà la prossima moneta dominante del mercato globale.

Critics by Andrea Cioschi

Luciana Andreani's artistic research focuses on the modalities and structures of contemporary communication through the analysis of the mechanisms that lead to the diffusion and the massification not only of commercial products but also of conceptual values and demands. Symbolic images, psychological mechanisms, trademarks, objects of industrial production reveal, in the flow of popularization and global advertising, the same semantic roots and become the mirror of a society that is defined by spreading signs and styles through a viral mode, a contagious propagation that radiates in a capillary way a new iconography, surrounded by a sacredness that is all the more intense as it is strengthened by the communicative forms with which it is designed and distributed by the media.
