“Housed in the shadowy recesses of Ambrosino’s icons, which recall the dark secrets of Cumae, figures twist and turn, faces appear and disappear in the dark mists of a dream.”

“…he breathed the atmosphere of archaeology, and it is not far from the truth to say that deep down he was an archaeologist, though of a very rare breed, beyond the normal range. Rather than in search of treasures from the earth, he probably scoured the landing-stage area that was Cuma for a deeper sense of freedom and creative truth, which by then he was arriving at by pure intuition, and which represented for him the only possible relationship with the outside world, since only within a dimension of such fantasy could he find its justification.”
- from ‘The Wandering Archeologist’, art critique essay by Letizia Triches

“…here the story is set in a spiritual and not a narrative dimension. The task of this hypothetical frame is therefore, to indicate a fragment without, however, establishing any precise sequence, without a fixed order telling us which part we have to begin with to be able to distinguish and trace back the working of the artist. Everything turns out to be ruled by imagination alone. Other panel squares need not possess very well-defined demarcations but may allow other situations to come about, but whether these are past or still to come with respect to one’s own ideas is still unknown.”

Magia di Iconee Mediterranee

Antologica 1960 – 2014
al Palazzo Delle Arti Napoli
24 Aprile –  24 Maggio 2015

FA-banner-PAN-web

Il 24 Aprile si è tenuta l’inaugurazione di Magia di Iconee Mediterranee, esposizione al PAN di Napoli che comprende 60 opere.  Sono intervenuti il giornalista Ermanno Corsi, il critico d’arte Nino D’Antonio e il filosofo Aniello Montano.

Sono 10 anni che l’artista Bacolese non esponeva a Napoli, l’ultima fu nel 2004 al Palazzo Reale.  Dai Campi Flegrei è partito per girare il mondo, in America prima a New York e poi a San Francisco, è stato letteralmente catturato da collezionisti e galleristi che hanno voluto esporre e vendere i suoi lavori.  A Napoli in mostra, fino al 24 Maggio, opere dal 1960 al 2014.

Si parte dagli anni ’60 quando la sua arte risentiva del calore, dei profumi e dei colori dei paesaggi flegrei, i rossi, il tufo, il giallo sulfureo. L’iniziale impronta figurativa, il cui naturalismo riconoscibile nelle vedute di Procida e della Corricella, cede lentamente il passo a forme sempre più smaterializzate, in cui i contorni cominciano a sfumare.

La svolta avviene negli anni Novanta, i volumi di influenza cubista si dissolvono approdano all’informale. L’arte si fa introspettiva, riflessione sulla realtà, una realtà immaginata che prende vita nelle Icone: qui la frantumazione lotta per ricomporsi in figura, in immagini che sfumano o si dileguano nella preziosità del colore, il rosso diventa porpora, il giallo oro rievocando la sacralità delle immagini bizantine.

La cifra identitaria connotante il lungo percorso pittorico di Ferdinando Ambrosino va cercata e individuata nei timbri cromatici, nella scelta dei colori e nel modo di trattarli. Dalla prima all’ultima, la prima del 1960 l’ultima del 2014, tutte le opere esposte in questa mostra esibiscono l’uso sapiente di una tavolozza dai colori caldi, morbidi e temperati, lontana dai toni alti e squillanti e lontanissima dai sussurrati bassissimi, tenuissimi, tendenti al patetico

così in un passo scrive nella sua critica Aniello Montano.
