PAOLO PEDRONI
Gaze of the Innocent: The Silent Stories in Their Eyes
保罗·佩德罗尼(Paolo Pedroni)的艺术作品编织了一幅幅超凡脱俗的场景,在那里童年的纯真邂逅了超现实的梦幻视野,作品中经常呈现带有空灵气质的年轻角色和主题,令观者沉浸在这细腻而生动的色彩之中。这些角色似乎迷失在一个沉思的中间地带,他们那大而闪亮的眼睛装载着神秘叙事的秘密。

2005年,佩德罗尼从欧洲设计学院(European Institute of Design) 毕业,尽管他毕业后是从事设计领域的工作,但他从未忘记自己与生俱来对绘画和素描的热情,这使他成为当代意大利波普超现实主义运动(Pop Surrealism movement)的领军人物。佩德罗尼笔下的角色形象充满童趣,周围环绕着童年的物品,色彩斑斓而柔和,以最精湛的绘画技巧加以描绘。这位艺术家不断突破自我,挑战并拓展自己的极限,在越来越大的画幅上进行创作,形成了充满图像的背景构图,这是受到村上隆(Takashi Murakami)风格启发的"空白恐惧"(Horror vacui) — (译自拉丁文),风格与极简主义恰恰相反,佩德罗尼以超现实、甜蜜且极其精致和细腻的技法来创作,画布上倾注的是艺术家狂热想象力和深刻感受力的结晶 。
Graduating from the European Institute of Design in 2005, despite working in the field of design, he never forgot his innate passion for painting and drawing, which has made him one of the leading Italian artists in the Pop Surrealism movement. Pedroni's characters are childlike figures, surrounded by childhood objects, colorful and soft, described with the most sophisticated painting technique. The artist challenges himself and his abilities, working on increasingly larger formats, resulting in a composition filled to the brim with images, an "horror vacui" inspired by Murakami's style. Pedroni executes this with a simultaneously hyper-realistic, sugary, and extremely elaborate and refined technique.

佩德罗尼的作品既有对“脆弱”寓言式的苦乐交织的叙述,也有对现今消费主义的批判,他认为消费主义是我们这个时代的特征,使我们都成为受害者。佩德罗尼深入探讨社群媒体影响力带来的问题。在他名为"充满虚无"(Full of Emptiness)的一系列作品中,便深刻探索了这些引人关注的主题。佩德罗尼认为社群媒体既是传递正面讯息的强大工具,也是能够汇聚群众力量、创造团结一致并抗争社会不公的有力渠道,但同时也是痛苦的舞台、是抑郁、自我封闭、成瘾和假消息的藏身之地。
Paolo Pedroni's paintings are the result of the artist's fervid imagination and profound sensitivity, poured onto canvas. His imagery ranges from the bittersweet narrative of a fable dedicated to Fragility, to the clear condemnation of consumerism that characterizes our times and "makes us all victims," with a direct reference to issues related to social media. Pedroni explores these compelling themes in a series titled "Full of Emptiness," in which the body of work delves into the debate on Social Media. The artist sees them both as a powerful tool for transmitting positive messages and as social networks capable of bringing together communities and creating a universal experience that unifies and fights social injustices, but at the same time, as arenas of suffering, hiding places for depression, self-isolation, addiction, and fake news.Surreal Narratives and the Child Within保罗·佩德罗尼的艺术作品中的童稚人物带着成人般的睿智和忧郁的目光,唤起了一种包裹在超现实外衣中的怀旧感。青春时期的物件——玩具、动物和俏皮的配件——都被以近乎超现实的精确度描绘,却又置于边缘幻想与骇人的梦境情景中。
鲜艳的色彩和精确的执行与忧郁主题形成了鲜明的对比,创造出一场关于人类心灵复杂性层次的视觉论述,摇摆在幻想与令人不安的现实之间。反复出现的主题,如眼睛、苹果、玩偶和穿着人类衣服的动物,唤起了一个人与物、活物与无生命物体之间界限模糊的领域,这是对存在的一种异想天开但又深刻的评论。Paolo Pedroni's artwork exudes a haunting blend of innocence and eeriness, tethering the line between fantasy and unsettling reality. Childlike figures don the canvas, yet their gazes pierce with an adult-like wisdom and melancholy, evoking a sense of nostalgia wrapped in a surreal package. Objects of youth - toys, animals, and playful accessories - are depicted with an almost hyperreal precision, yet they are placed in dreamlike scenarios that border the fantastic and the macabre.The vibrant colors and precise execution create a stark contrast with the often somber themes, crafting a visual discourse on the loss of innocence and the layered complexities of the human psyche. The presence of recurring motifs such as eyes, apples, and animals wearing human clothes conjures a realm where the boundaries between human and object, the living and the inanimate, blur into a whimsical yet poignant commentary on existence.进退两难
