Carlo Massobrio is an architect in Langa (Cuneo – north-west of Italy) when he doesn’t work as an artist or a teacher, he takes on the appearance that suits him best , that of coloring Italian progressive rock .
To him art and music are inseparable; reason and emotion fight to get space in a challenge that apparently resolves in favor of the latter, but - perhaps - by deception operated by the former. On the canvas there is repertoire of wood , scraps of fabric, old newspapers , enamels, acrylics, anonymous rusted metal that form the backdrop to the subtle irony of the frames. Author of the " bizarre " work on the church St. Dominic in Camerana, Massobrio is pleased to take fun of himself and deliberately treat the art with irony and imagination of one who considers the work of art as an extension of his own existence . It follows , therefore , in a disenchanted and absolutely imaginary art, hoping to get away from the banality of the real tragic and anonymous . |
