Helping A Swollen Rook Piercing

Housing home games


Autofiction, the intimate theater, the words are dropped. If most of the work of Axel Di Chiappari revolves around the question of "I" of self-representation, do see in him an art of intimacy, turned on itself, would be absolutely gearbox: The universe proposed by the artist unfolds with undeniable strength plastic.


The body is a reality that we live daily. A tangible reality shows and how to be reckoned with at times terribly. The body as a physical data would be sufficient property to his sentence if he was not the receptacle on the palimpsest upon which other realities: reality of social, psychological: the hands of a workman worn by work, body tired, his features come to stigmatize or fatigue, reflecting the moods, sadness, where bodies are rotting somatizing ulcers ... or magnified, transformed, elevated to the glory ...

"But because it sees and moves, it keeps things in a circle around you, they are an annex or extension of himself, they are embedded in his flesh, they are part of its complete definition and the world is made of the fabric of the body "
Merleau-Ponty, Eye and Spirit

work of Axel Di Chiappari are divided primarily into a series of self portraits and scenes are often forms of minimalist" Camouflage ideas black, "" Self-Portraits memories picked up "or" Love With A Murky soft thing "... Other series like cover familiar objects relating to the life of Di Chiappari or evoking memories of the past.


Remembrance have dried your tears

Childhood stifled

With Axel Di Chiappari, a game narrative relayed by small stagings engages the viewer. The term "staging" is important in the mechanism proposed by Di Chiappari: first there is often the same facial expression, imperturbable, impassible situations where Di Chiappari starts or representation involved and which does is reminiscent of Buster Keaton. Di Chiappari seems to enter into the skin of a character. The intimate but here is here to put a respectable distance, the pathos is defused by the staging and derision they emit. A bit of carelessness, detachment, the uncertainties permeate the body of Di Chiappari without eventually to leave an indelible mark. The ink stain on the face, and disappears soon gives way to something else.

Nothing spectacular, condescending or outrageous, nothing that forces the eye to contemplate the sometimes obscene unpacking the "I", Di Chiappari avoid obstacles that might be called the neurotic intimacy. Certainly he presents his body without majesty, body stripped of its beautiful body and face that constantly browse the areas to which the psychological artist agrees to allow free course, useless without emotion, without any bidding or expressionist effect.
The "I" becomes a "game", but beware, behind the humor can hide the elegance of despair. Play on words as the titles of works, at DI Chiappari series maintain a close relationship, often come to associate the image to create a gap humorous.

Through its work, Axel Di Chiappari is getting pushed around with a lot of derision, he comes to picture and pointing the finger at our own fears, our own dreams. These series reflect our own privacy, like the series "chairs" or "Murky Love With a soft thing" that we refer to sexual frustration, to masturbate, to miss ...




Loneliness of a badger

The use of the report involves a series of variations, repetition but in this case a relationship to time. This is for Di Chiappari capture moods, rehashing her anguish but also menus and therefore happiness to fix than just ... Trying to set the time through charms fetishized, objects that become a receptacle where the memory forces its way, writes his mark, trying to resist oblivion.
Much of the work of Di Chiappari pass through the medium photo that is part of this attempted seizure, suspension, a flexible medium, which works but which also responds to the snapshot. Chiappari is not a photographer but promotes photography as a medium of choice, at first he did not consider as a goal, what does it to make case preponderant use of black and white incursion into the digital processing.
The face, generally before full frame, invades the space, causes and effect of imposing a sudden appearance. The close up also tends to fixity.











Rembrandt "Self Portraits"
Taking as its own topic is one large case in the history of Western art, many artists there are rubbed, from Dürer to Picasso, the list is long. But
Chiappari at DI, Rembrandt seems closest in the way of understanding his own image. Rembrandt did more than a hundred self-portraits throughout his life, self-portraits in which he seldom spared himself, combing with great lucidity, without complacency, is aging most often, not sparing any ride. Axel Di Chiappari is treated similarly.
It should be noted that Di was first Chiappari painter before using other mediums.


Double fuck both sides


Gina Pane, non-anesthetized Climbing , 1974, MNAM


Registration also in Body Art too. Di chiappari Annex, folding her body to the discipline of his creations. Body as far as time and receptacle, but also bodies to the limit of the choreography in shows like "Love With A Murky soft thing" or in "chairs". With artists like Michel Journiac or Gina Pane in sight but Dieter Appelt.
Like a Bruce MacLean, the choreography is found frozen in the photographic medium, turns to sculpture. Indeed, if the series like " chairs " can be read at once as a metaphor for the lack, sexual in this case, this series can also be read as an attempt to ownership of the body in terms of sculpture, series Just an animal" could easily take the form of bas-reliefs in the solid and voids created by digital processing.


Series: "Just an animal"

This shift to choreography, to the body before moving device also refers to a film. The use series is often beyond the simple repetition and the idea of pattern, change the pattern to generate movement, the series "Just an animal" which replays a journey, a trip, is a perfect example, the series on Face Morphing also refer to.




Series glaucous Love With a soft thing "

put in these situations tragicomic enquillées as many gags at rehearsals, this unstable balance, seem to endorse this idea a return to burlesque ...

"The man who never laughs, Face marble head box, wax figures, Fridge and even tragic mask, that's how I've always been nicknamed"

Buster Keaton Axel Di Chiappari?
