FABRIZIO MUSA - MIX CINEMA

Kubrick’s esthetic creative power concentrated on the transfigured glance of the soldier palla di lardo in the film Full Metal Jacket, the virile integrity in the film “300" sublimely side by side with his wife , perfect and titanic example of a friendly life-companion, who everybody'd like to know some day, the overwhelming irony in Amici miei", a model of a superior intelligence of the main figures: they are only few examples of images, which become models, they belong to the collective cultural heritage of knowledges, they overcome the films because of reputation and release which have generated them. These scene, taken from a set of movies belonging to the history of cinema and represented on the canvas by Fabrizio Musa, are not only the simple or casual reproduction of single images taken from a motion picture but they are alive like independent works and their artistic value overcomes the simple representation, managing to express a precise idea and a detailed description of the universe of cinema. They are pictures, which belong to the endless category of the myth, because they can concentrate all the value and the impressive power of the universe of signs and symbols on the space of a single scene, to which the same film is linked ( Rocky, le lene, Tarantino; Clark Gabel and Anna Magnani). The black and white drawing technique, main Musa's expressive form surpassed bg the strong red and light-blue streaks, makes in evidence the strain of the work and the psychological analysis of the main figures. Musa's endless study on the languages of the contemporaneity, first of all (the cinema), brings the artist to the production of works, which evoke the categories of intuition and knowledge in the moment of the action, distorting the relation between subject and mean. They are not therefore close works", which simply recalls the information to cinematographic references but they are "canvas open to different interpretations", which convey the sense and the power of a time. At the same way Musa is able to create a dialog between the endless space of the cinematographic dream and a universe of references, which gives life to modernity.
