FRANCESCO DE MOLFETTA

Francesco De Molfetta was born in 1979, he now lives and works in Milan.
Francesco De Molfetta's work has a striking impact above all for their immediate legibility that are distinguished for their characterized irony. A sometimes extreme irony, irreverent, that makes a clean square of communal locations and easy/false morals. This young artist assembles small every day objects with recuperated characters of toys and small models of modelling, creating situations at the same time fun and open spaced, that live a representing paradox. A paradox not so far away, if you like, of the lived life, with more or less anxiety of daily life. Characters that seem impassable when completing their proper actions, ignoring the consequences of their behaviour. De Molfetta plays with words, on their signification, representation, unstableness, ironically on their fear and on their sense of precariousness and danger that now more than ever inseparable and accompany. The unstable balance of this precarious situation comes also represented distorted, alternating unlikely realistic proportions represented between objects and humans.
Within these works Basilea the artist will present her personnel vision of Italian politics and folk law, jumping from art history to recent chronicles, and an installation specific site with the presence of garden gnomes to speak about our "beautiful country" on the edge of the abyss.
Francesco De Molfetta collaborates and exhibits with the gallery Colossi contemporary Art of Brescia.
