    About the Book

    Edit

    Mentre negli anni Ottanta in America e nel mondo, nelle gallerie e nei musei si radicava un gusto per un'arte sempre più concettuale, in California, in particolare tra Los Angeles e San Francisco, si affacciavano, neanche troppo timidamente, nei circuiti underground, le prime forme di quelle che saranno riconosciute come “lowbrow art” prima e “pop surrealism” successivamente.
    In questo volume si tracciano le principali linee guida che definiscono la cultura lowbrow che hanno dato poi il via a una corrente artistica che dagli Stati Uniti ha travolto nei decenni a seguire anche il resto del mondo, seppure con altre forme e altri linguaggi, accomunati tra loro da uno scopo comune: scarnificare l'animo umano facendone emergere i tormenti in un carnevale di colori e forme, esorcizzando i lati più oscuri del subconscio
    ***
    An Italian language book about these art movements is now available. The book features international OG's of Lowbrow Art and Pop Surrealism including : Mark Ryden, Marion Peck, Lisa Petrucci, Isabel Samaras, Ciou, Anthony Ausgang, Shag, Camille Rose Garcia, Scott Musgrove, Yosuke Ueno, Natascia Raffio, Giuseppe Veneziano, and many others.
    Here's the synopsis: While in the Eighties in America and in the world, in galleries and museums a taste for an increasingly conceptual art took root, in California, in particular between Los Angeles and San Francisco, they appeared, not too timidly, in the underground circuits, the first forms of what will be recognized as "lowbrow art" first and "pop surrealism" later.
    This volume traces the main guidelines that define the lowbrow culture which then gave way to an artistic current that from the United States has overwhelmed the rest of the world in the following decades, albeit with other forms and other languages, united among it gives them a common purpose: to flesh out the human soul by making its torments emerge in a carnival of colors and shapes, exorcising the darker sides of the subconscious.

    Nato ad Arbon (Svizzera) il 1985, vive in Italia dall'età di 2 anni, in un piccolo paese della provincia di Avellino, Montefredane. A 21 anni si trasferisce a Roma dove studia Arti e Scienze dello Spettacolo alla Sapienza, Roma. Laureatosi alla triennale con una tesi in Storia dell'Arte Contemporanea dal titolo "New Pop - mezzo secolo di cultura popolare", alla magistrale continua il suo percorso specializzandosi in Metodologie Curatoriali, ancora alla Sapienza, discutendo la tesi sull'intero movimento lowbrow e pop surrealista, che diventerà la sua prima pubblicazione indipendente. Nel 2011 fonda, insieme a Silvia Faieta, Natascia Raffio e Togaci, il Loverismo, movimento artistico/culturale incentrato sulla correttezza etica e la condivisione disinteressata di idee e concetti. Dal 2011 è anche curatore di numerose mostre collettive, molte delle quali esposizioni loveriste, e personali, tra cui Alice Pasquini, Natascia Raffio, Silvia Faieta, Paolo Pilotti, Sbagliato, e altri
