Vincenzo Musardo - Aphrodite

The subject of this work can be defined as citationist, which consists in re-proposing an image of the historical artistic tradition, recontextualizing it according to the artist's sensibility.

In his work, Vincenzo Musardo seeks to breathe new life into works of the past. This is why his artistic process involves selecting images from ancient Greek, Etruscan, and Egyptian art, as well as from the Lecce Baroque, and reconfiguring them in his canvases. These are fragments of bodies, armor, and figures of gods and men, which, through Musardo's highly personal technique of mixed-media oil painting, acquire a truly tactile texture on the canvas.

An artist originally from Galatone, where he was born in 1943. Around 1974 he developed the concept of "Metaarchaic Art," in which rather than recovering the value of ancient images, the artist aims to bring them back to life through an exaltation of the material consistency on the canvas.
