    About the Book

    Edit

    Oltre ad essere una linea di fortificazione militare, nell’immaginario fumettistico di Alessandro Fantini la Linea Gustav è anche sinonimo di quel “limen” ai bordi del quale realtà storica e fantasia ricostruttiva, dati empirici e intuizioni irrazionali si fronteggiano in un rutilante minuetto scandito dai tempi imponderabili dell’invenzione artistica. Nella plausibile irrealtà evocata dalle storie contenute in questa raccolta, prende infatti vita la storiografia di un universo narrativo obliquo tra piccole epopee come quella di “Linea Gustav”, dove un cane s’immola per la salvezza del suo giovane padrone, e palingenesi cosmiche come quella descritta in “Endometria” dove il seme di un ricordo ha il potere di fecondare il corpo e la terra di un ‘intera civiltà. Un mondo in cui i legami affettivi permeano così profondamente la materia stessa degli oggetti più cari da trasformare questi ultimi in amplificatori della melodia dell’anima come la bambola di “Maelzel”, e dove nemmeno i pregiudizi sessuali e gli steccati dell’etica sono in grado di fermare l’inesorabile attrazione tra due spiriti “siamesi” separati alla nascita (“Splenetica”).

    About the Creator
    Afantini
    Alessandro Fantini

    Alessandro Fantini was born in Sangro Valley, Italy. His creative inclination arose during his early childhood when he began drawing comics and writing tales influenced by gothic authors like Edgar Allan Poe and Sheridan le Fanu. Disliking art school teachings, he learned oil painting techniques by himself and started painting his first canvases in 1993. Since 1998 he wrote, directed and produced movies and music videos digitally, composing also their soundtracks and writing lyrics for songs performed by himself. His short movies were broadcasted in 2006 and 2007 on European Sky Channels. His self-portrait was published in 2004 inside the Jean Michel Jarre's "Aero" album booklet. His artworks have been shown in several group exhibitions and solo exhibitions in Pescara, Turin and at the London Brick Lane Gallery. In 2008 he released his first art book entitled "The Sinovial Gaze" covering more than a decade of painting activity.
