I met the Chef artist Sal di Meo in the late 80s, on the occasion of an event that saw the parallel work of a famous architect compared with that of a Chef.
There, I understood that Sal di Meo is not only a great Chef and that he has an extraordinary artistic sensibility.
The architect described a building that is iron from the outside and soft with wood and colors inside.
Sal showed a braised meat, the presentation was worthy of a work by Joseph Beuys. Three huge braised meats surrounded by cloves like iron clubs were bolted onto a clean and flat bread almost three meters long.
Like L'architettura, the braised meat is seared to become iron on the outside, while the soft juices and juices remain enclosed inside.
The artist Di Meo has accompanied the Chef in the kitchen over the years.
The cook must know the material he is dealing with well and respect its substance.
now I am not referring only to the aesthetics of plating, but to the construction of an image on the plate that uses animal and vegetable materials without distorting them.
I believe this is where the need for the artist Sal di Meo to get out of the moon of the dish arises.
Finally the big leap. The alchemical experience of the Kitchen is sublimated in molten metals which preserve its liquid memory, the hot colors which drip onto the raw canvas or onto the metal, melt and change in the various moments of the fusion.
The alchemist DI Meo literally lights up his canvases which catch fire and then deposit colored lava.
His land flagrerà, his archetypal figures can be glimpsed in the chaotic flow of colored lava and offer us a primordial idea when things were not yet, but already announced the future.
