The painting "The Smile of Chaos" is a work that captures the overwhelming and sinister essence of the Joker character, which exudes anarchy and madness.

In the center of the painting, the Joker's face emerges in all its malevolence. His skin is painted a pale, corpse-like white, with eyes that glow with intense madness.
His trademark smile is painted a bloody red, but what makes it truly disturbing is the way it seems twisted into a grimace of pure malice.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Ceramics

Sculpture technique using as raw material a malleable Earth which can have different color then cooked to increase its solidity.

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Lacquer

Paint made with a resin from tree sap, various shrubs or with lacquer paints based on thermosetting resins. The technique consists in superimposing layers of lacquers with a vigorous polishing between each layer. It is mostly smooth shiny, but can sometimes also be satin or very Matt.

Pigments

Paint made with colored powder suspended in a liquid binder to obtain some paint or ink.

Enamel

Paint made with molten glass powder and oxide. The enamels are then applied by mixing them with distilled water. There is a form of vitrifiable enamel which consist of mixing the oxides with very little glass and oil until a paste is obtained. They are then applied as a painting.

Technic Sculpture

Stefano Cinque, known by his artistic pseudonym S. Macrì, is a contemporary Italian sculptor known for his distinctive ceramic sculptures that evolve into vibrant paintings. His artistic journey is a harmonious fusion of tactile craftsmanship and expressive painting, where the hands that shape the clay seamlessly transition into the hands that breathe life into colors.

Over the years, Cinque's work has undergone a remarkable transformation. He begins by molding the clay, breathing life into his creations through the ancient art of sculpture. However, it is in the subsequent act of painting that his pieces truly come alive, merging two distinct forms of artistic expression into a singular, captivating whole. This metamorphosis from sculpture to painting reflects his ability to traverse artistic boundaries with fluidity and finesse.

In the year 2020, a new chapter in Cinque's artistic journey unfolds as he immerses himself in the world of Pop Art. This vibrant movement, rooted in popular culture and societal reflections, becomes a canvas for his creative exploration. Drawing inspiration from his youthful passion for comics, Cinque delves into the realm of characters and narratives that have shaped our collective consciousness. Through Pop Art, he channels the pulse of contemporary society, offering his unique perspective on its evolution.

For S. Macrì, the realm of imagination is inextricably linked with craftsmanship, evolving into a form of design that bridges the gap between art and function. Within the confines of his laboratory, he maintains an unwavering commitment to the techniques and traditions that have captured his heart. Rather than embracing more modern materials, he chooses to work with clay, safeguarding a precious material and technique that he refuses to see lost to time.
