About the Item
TECHNIQUE PHOTO-PAINTING
The technique used was defined as PHOTO-PAINTING by the art critic Silvia Pegoraro of Ravenna Italy and was an Artist's invention in 1994. In fact, since 1964 Dario Cusani had been working with photography and painting which had never been united.
In 1994 I returned to Naples, the city where I was born and had been missing for 10 years after moving to Rome in 1984. I returned to see the MIRACLE achieved by the G7 with the Presidents of the most powerful countries led by Bill Clinton, US President. It was a wonderful visit to my city reborn in its ancient splendor! I took over 5,000 photos of the squares and monuments of Naples with my Nikon. I returned to Rome and had all the photos printed and put them on various tables and assembled all the various pieces. I immediately realized that parts were missing which I completed with paint. A spontaneous gesture with which I had unconsciously achieved a great innovation: I had combined the REALITY of photography with the DREAM represented by painting. Silvia, my muse who knew me well, when I showed her the first work IMPERATING MALE (R:0176) that I had done she said to me: "Dario you have united the TWO WORLDS of your life: that of your childhood with the sensitivity of the dreamer with the concrete one that they gave you taught your parents with education, studies (degree in Economic Sciences) and work started at 15 years old in your family's copper industry. These formative years had distanced myself from those of childhood when I studied the piano and dreamed of becoming an orchestra conductor. I also drew and painted with my imagination in search of the affections I was missing. In fact my parents were busy in the factory (copper production) rebuilding Italy destroyed by the recently ended war. I then refined PHOTO-PAINTING which developed into DIGITAL PROCESSING having replaced the BRUSH with the MOUSE to fill the gaps left by the photography and complete the REALITY which with painting became another FANTASTIC reality.
PLACES OF MEMORY Cities
This work is part of the "research" PLACES OF MEMORY Cities revisited by me in a fantastic way. In fact I use my exclusive PHOTOPAINTING technique with a photographic element to which I add painting (oil or acrylic) to create a NEW REALITY.
NAPLES TRASH…ENDENTE (transcendent)
Naples is a city with two faces: a beautiful one and an ugly one. But beauty in Naples often comes from ugliness! As in this picture which is composed of the right side AGITATED and the left side CALM. In fact, notice the vertical photograph on the right (27.5 cm high and 17.5 cm wide) which is not easy to distinguish from the painting! It includes almost all of Castellovo, a part of the rough sea and a part of the rubbish which is the work of the Neapolitans who are famous for throwing everything on the ground. Well in this work of mine the TRASH part of Naples acts as a dam against the waves of the stormy sea, replacing the roadbed of white stones placed for this purpose on the seafront of Via Caracciolo, the most beautiful part of the city! Maybe a dream, maybe a criticism, maybe a slap at the Neapolitans! But one thing is certain: if Naples didn't have its defects it would be a paradise where everyone would like to live. Then it would become a city of a BILLION people and go from Heaven to Hell!!!
