Ox 2530, 2012
One of three spray-paint murals on wall to decorate three decidedly rustic
“buildings” such as the barn or the bio mass plant or the barn gate, all three
designed to symbolically animate and enrich “walls” , concrete or metal, that
never in the past would have thought they could become the setting for
conceptual expressions, from the long neck of the ostrich, symbol of the
individual composed of many existential “pieces,” to the heart rendered in the
guise of a bleeding cow, thinking of the fate that is sealed for many animals.
With the work “Struzzato,” the artist emphasizes the transformation of naturein favor of nourishment for humans. the mural takes its cue from the ostrich’s
long neck to create a path from a mechanical body that produces materials
that “naturally” bring us back to the dimension of the ostrich as a unique
individual containing many realities.

… the rest came by itself.”
