Luca Patella
|
(Italiano)
|
 Is an artist who has been working since the 50s, when he has experimented with both traditional and unconventional techniques, like photographic etching with simultaneous colours. It is quite difficult to define an artist who makes use of such different techniques like water-colour, lithography, photography, film... computer. Patella has an academic record in scientific subjects (Structural Chemistry) which has characterized his artistic production; he writes essays both scientific and in fantasy ("IO SONO QUI" "I'm here") and psychoanalitic books on Duchamp and Diderot ("DEN & DUCH disenameled"). The art of Patella is not restrained to a plain research and evolution of a single style, forever defined and to be repeated forever; his analysis goes through a wealth of means and languages, each of which, after having beeng studied and practised thoroughly, is put aside in favour of an everlasting research and learning...

Wrong Bed
On observing Duchamp's ready made "Apolinaire enameled", Patella has revealed the structural and chromatic short circuit of the bed, put it in the space and has considered as test-object of Duchamp's unconscious.

Howyoucouldneverbe
"Are you ready maid"? unconscious in a suitcase, a female figure, the inner compulsion of the artist who aims at the armony of what is opposite, male and female, burning feeling and cooling, rationalizing thought, this is what an artist must aim at.

Rubedo
Authentic "ready made", made of every day cooking objects. By moving a small lever in a ladle there appears an evocative sunset with shades of red, a colour which becomes shining, at the same time, in the eyes of a cat too. Rubedo is what we can read between its paws, colour red and with precise alchemic meanings.

Mysterium Coniunctionis
The mystery of a conjunction... the whole sky; arcane symbolical objectification of the cosmic genesis. The skies inside the cups, the original skies of Louis XIV, are confronted, by Patella, whith modern skies. The cups with the heads and the head cups (in the physiognomical vases).
