"Warning to the artist who is also intellectual. He is an artist that does not fit. "(Francis Scott Fitzgerald)
The artistic and human Nico D'Auria exemplary and is configured similar to that of many other Italian artists, who contribute to create an art that knows how to enhance, in this 'age of profound change, both daily life, sometimes characterized by a deep malaise, is the' image of a company that creates a new iconography evolved suitable to represent it. The symbolic suggestions, but especially the eclectic mind of the artist ', setting the path on which is grafted his research, focusing on many aspects, even as the subjects dealt with, without the evocation dispense with other styles. The consistency and the variety of production of D'Auria is such that we are allowed, here, give only a brief statement: it deserves and requires, in fact, a long and careful study, we hope can take place as soon as possible. We will limit ourselves then, on the occasion of this his debut, a first analysis of what he has gained in twenty-five years, the city that has seen him be born, live and grow artistically. Stressing here, albeit briefly, as its rise this culturally (through many significant experiences abroad), represent the same and the same road traveled, not only from an anonymous crowd of Italians but also to a number of different artists. Some of them have had the privilege to confront him right on his own ground.
The same choice to live in his Minor, a country so troubled and difficult, it makes the experience of an exemplary attitude atypical for the era in which we live, a time when intellectuals and cultural figures prefer to gain experience in contexts more fruitful, the most dynamic and engaging. Equally important, albeit seemingly less impressive, are the testimonies of life and pictures, some of which offer many insights, the company that he is the protagonist. And it is important for me to stress how his works reflect his moods, an art that has all that baggage of suffering, tied to a real existential drama, the drama of a genius forced to live a series of experiments strongly restraining his thinking.
should also be stressed that this suffering is felt even more if you think back to a past certainly much more challenging, many times we got to enjoy his anecdotes relating to the teeming 80s to the low 90s and depressing day in the life of many our fellow citizens. From his utterances often comes out a picture of the society they live in very colorful capture the impression that all is to be in front of an artistic genius surrounded by indigenous communities for him, I dare say a stranger, albeit deeply studied and analyzed in its various forms and expressions. The long-awaited summer minores, now a meeting place for artists, intellectuals, politicians, for the most original part of the Agro Nocerino sarnese and Neapolitan men who help to create a culturally rich, fertile and lively, and it is this ground that the D'Auria is the lifeblood to create his masterpieces. Al D'Auria not escape anything in this animated coming and going: an eye, his, detached but not foreign, full of curiosity, which led him to reflect on all aspects of small city, cosmopolitan and sea at the same time. And so the water games, sellers of fish, colorful fishing boats on the pier, the elegance of the rich man and the gestures of ordinary folk, everything is captured by his great skill as an observer. A universe, however, changed radically with the beginning autumn, leaving a void filled only artist in the soul of that anguish which is perhaps, however, his true happiness.
The exhibition "Introspection", wants to be an opportunity to appreciate the creative genius of a man that surely reflects the limitations of cultural and social community in which he lives, that limit can easily be resolved due to its eclectic style and its confusing (as he calls it). The result is a fresh and lively "movie" of his era, free from all prejudices both the social and stylistic representation faithful to its spirit.
So an artist says a lot but probably have just said.
