Who is that Hat ?

IMG_6864.jpeg

(EN)

People act every day to dramatically experience themselves. Those moments and places pass tragically without anyone knowing them. This triangular hat transcends time and space, appearing in various scenes to show us the many pages of life. Precisely because of the anonymous character of the triangular hat, the message it conveys is powerful. Sometimes they become heroes, sometimes they are in places they have always wanted to go, sometimes they are in historical scenes and sometimes they simply show us the everyday things of life. We, the spectators, enter into this world and have different thoughts and feelings about ourselves and the world as we watch the scene.

Le persone recitano ogni giorno per vivere drammaticamente se stessi. Quei momenti e quei luoghi passano tragicamente senza che nessuno li sappia. Questo cappello triangolare trascende il tempo e lo spazio, apparendo in varie scene per mostrarci le tante pagine della vita. Proprio per via del carattere anonimo del cappello triangolare, il messaggio che trasmette è di forte impatto. A volte diventano degli eroi, a volte si trovano in luoghi dove hanno sempre desideravamo andare, a volte si trovano in scene storiche e a volte ci mostrano semplicemente le cose quotidiane della vita. Noi, spettatori, entriamo nel mondo e, mentre guardiamo la scena, abbiamo diversi pensieri e sentimenti su noi stessi e sul mondo.

人は自分を劇的に生きるために毎日を演じている。その瞬間や場所は誰にも知られないまま、残酷に 過ぎ去ってしまうのだ。この三角帽子は時空を超えて、色んなシーンに現れて人生の色んなページを見せ てくれる。匿名性のある三角帽子だからこそ、そのメッセージにはインパクトが強く伝わってくる。時に はヒーローになったり、行きたかった場所、歴史的な場面に立ち会ったり、または人生の日常をもシンプ ルに見せてくる。それを観る僕らはその世界に入ったり、そのシーンを観ながら自分や世の中に対して色 んな想いや考えを抱くのだ。

Na' bona Sensabilita'

(EN)

Painting, from a behavioural point of view, can be divided into two categories: drawing lines or painting surfaces. I mainly draw lines. If I have to be aware of a surface, it fits within a line or a surface held by a line. I draw the line not because of its beauty, but because of its incompleteness and immaturity, which makes drawing closer to human work. In the incomplete line there is a solid aspiration for beauty. There is a feeling of great pleasure in a successful line.
A good Sensibility: in Roman dialect 'Na bona Sensabilita', I hope that beautiful lines excite people's senses and increase the observer's sensitivity to the 'pleasant', the 'beautiful', the 'interesting' and so on.

La pittura, da un punto di vista comportamentale, si può dividere in due categorie: disegnare linee o dipingere superfici. Io principalmente tratto linee. Se devo essere consapevole di una superficie, essa si inserisce all'interno di una linea o di una superficie trattenuta da una linea. Disegno la linea non per la sua bellezza, ma per la sua incompletezza e immaturità, che rende il disegno più vicino al lavoro umano. Nella linea incompiuta c'è una solida aspirazione di bellezza. C'è una sensazione di grande piacere in una linea ben fatta.
Una buona Sensibilità : in dialetto romano 'Na bona Sensabilita', Speriamo che le belle linee scuotano i sensi delle persone e aumentino la sensibilità dell'osservatore verso il 'piacevole', il 'bello', il 'bello', l''interessante' e così via.

絵を描くことは、行動的な観点から見ると「線を描くか、面を塗るか」その2つになると思う。私は線を描くことがメインになっている。面を意識したことがあったとしても線の中か、線に抑えられている面だ。私は線を描くことに、その美しさより、その未完成さ未熟さを描くことで、それがより人間ぽい作業と思える。その未完成な線に美しさを求める健気さがある。美しくできた線には、納得した気持ち良さを感じることがある。
「感度最高」:ローマ弁で「Na bona Sensabilita’」では、その美しい線が人の感覚を揺さぶり、鑑賞者の「気持ち良い」「綺麗」「美しい」「面白い」などの感度を高めるものになればと願っている。
