In the Metaverse but with man at the center
Cryptoart and NFT are moving very quickly towards the spaces of phenomenal reality and here, at the Milan Triennale, they meet contemporary artists to dialogue around the central element of art, the man. In this case, the man also has a name and a surname, Zlatan Ibrahimović. The topos of the champion, which certainly emerges in the “Ibra NFT Collection” project, is however overtaken, or we might say, dribbled out by the man and his personal path which, through the work of the artists in the exhibition, become universal and universally usable elements. Rather than the trophies raised to the skies, we look at the sacrifice, the difficulties overcome, and the commitment from which derives the indispensable temperament to be able to raise them. So the story of a child becomes the destiny of a man and then, and with some accommodation that everyone recognises , art comes along and takes that story in its arms to make it immortal. 

The artists you are about to meet, like Ibra, had their work cut out for them before lifting their deserved trophies, and it was enough to look into each other’s eyes once to understand this and recognise each other with simplicity. Resilience, like an underground river, flows beneath the project, uniting the works and the participants in the exhibition in a true team behind the champion who drags it along. My advice is to look through the eyes of a child and realise that the “Ibra NFT Collection” speaks to everyone intensely with simple words, a simplicity that is the opposite of banality. The works, which you will find on display in the museum hall (for a short time) and in the NFT space (forever), represent a fusion from which it will no longer be possible to escape or even go back. The world of NFT, Blockchain and Web 3.0 becomes indispensable for the contemporary artist and opens up new possibilities for dialogue in very recent and only apparently inaccessible contexts.

 

Disintermediated and decentralized spaces, virtual landscapes and identities which, precisely because of their nature, require the best presence and maximum commitment from the art world. It is art that becomes ultra-contemporary, and it can only comfort us to realise, precisely at the time when we are entering the Metaverse, that at the centre of the field is not a pixelated animal but still, alone and unequalled, the good old human being.

Artworks 

The artists:

Giovanni Motta

He developed an interest towards figurative and contemporary art, focusing particularly on the world of Japanese "anime" and "manga", which were to become essential for the research of the leitmotif of his work: the inner child. This child is represented by a cartoon-like character design called JonnyBoy, who appears in all his work, in paintings, sculptures and digital works. Hyperrealist painter and lover of technology, he has been using digital animation programmes such as cinema4D and Maya since 2000 and 3D printing since 2010 to create limited editions artworks. He creates sculptures and paintings, with 3D printing, clay-modeling and layered resin.

Giuseppe Veneziano

Venice. Giuseppe Veneziano is today one of the main Italian artists of the New Pop movement. Through his pictorial language, both original and recognizable, the artist deals with big issues such as politics, sex and religion, offering an objective and disenchanted image of today’s society. His canvases are populated by historical personalities and celebrities of the present, movie icons and characters from comics and cartoons. Veneziano tends to remove the boundaries between fiction and reality and he enjoys mixing and mingling elements of today's media society and of the mass collective imagination in a melting pot capable of generating alienating and amusing combinations

Federico Guida

His art is centered on the human figure, on ordinary people, far from the pursuit of aesthetic beauty. He boasts a solid technical preparation and a figurative language enriched by several personal connotations. He expresses himself through photography, oil colors, acrylics, plaster and fabric. The naked human bodies, depicted in twisted and intertwined poses, invite us to meditate on the drama of human existence, made milder by the natural softness of the flesh depicted accordingly to Caravaggio's lesson on light

Paolo Manazza

Paolo Manazza was born in Milan in 1959. He is an artist, writer and cultural entrepreneur . After a deep study of ancient painting and informal outcomes of the New York and European school of the 1950s, today he experiments with chromatic superimpositions in a neo-informal style combining the strength of gestures to the vibrations of color. Mimmo Di Marzio wrote about him in one of his essays: "The hand of the artist, in the case of Paolo Manazza, draws on the desire to play with the strength and brightness of the pigments to create a mystical, sentimental effect full of transcendency and mystery. He aims to give life to a completely different reality where the painting, as in Mark Rothko's lesson, becomes an open window on a transcendent world, capturing us in its unmistakable and intense "revelations of absolute emotions".

PAO

PAO was born in 1977 in Milan, where he still lives and works. He trained in the theater as a machinist, sound engineer and stage technician with the company of Franca Rame and Dario Fo. He studied and worked in the laboratories of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. Since 2000 he has started to give free rein to his creativity and artistic vein by creating his first public interventions of Street Art. Through an enchanted and highly personal look he reinterprets the shapes of the urban space to populate it with inventions and fantastic creatures: thus the famous colorful penguins are born on concrete bollards, the cans of Pao Cola and Campbell's soup on public toilets, smileys and billiard balls, dolphins and sharks, pelicans, daisies and much more. He has become one of the leading actors of the Milanese and Italian street art scene when this was still confined to the underground.
