Giovanni Greco was born in Catania, Italy, in 1953. Following incomplete biology studies and further artistic training, he enrolled at the Scuola del Nudo in Catania. In 1980, he began his painting career, drawing initial inspiration from Magritte and later De Chirico, seeking to resolve two seemingly contradictory layers\u2014dream and objective reality\u2014into a kind of absolute reality. <\/p>\n
It is the world of “\u00e8ndon\u00e8x\u00f2”, a term coined by the Artist \u2013 (\u00e9ndon-\u00e9x\u00f2) where the gaze is clearly directed toward oneself and inside things, but at the same time reveals his desire to make his painting feel closer to the observer’s lived experience, bringing up from the depths of the soul new dark forces that gradually replace the clear and simple spaces of reason.
\nAt the foundation of his research is a strong drive aimed at resolving the great dilemmas of existence and the relationship between self and the world, trying to interpret “thought” sometimes Incontrovertible Passages – work by artist Giovanni Greco ineffable as a means to cast a new light on the fundamental problems from which our mind never ceases to free itself, staging visual blackmail, blackmail of the soul; further on he is attracted by metaphysical painting and mainly by the works of G. De Chirico, not so much for stylistic choices but for the interest expressed in compositional solidity; the objects, figures, and space itself become powerful masses given by dark and thick chromatic volumes in a context where time seems to stop and subjects are suspended between metaphysical influence and neoclassical references derived from works of the past, emptied of time, in an unknown world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
