The name Fluxoart is a linguistic invention that evokes the inner flow of the creative process that gives rise to art; a metaphysical and symbolic place where languages, artistic forms and psychological tensions are mixed, an oasis of hybrid and metamorphic contemporaneity expressed in painting and photography by some Italian artists.
The creative flow brings out inner conflicts, perceptions, emotions and feelings, passions and sensations, effectively eliminating any barrier between real perception of things and their mental re-elaboration. The artist uses the creative flow to let the sedimentations of his own consciousness emerge.
Contemporary art is constantly evolving and expresses itself by communicating the external and internal reality, the unconscious level and daily life. The language of contemporary art is overflowing with energy, difficult to define; it changes continuously, it evolves with the speed of life today. Today’s society is undergoing profound changes that lead to the loss of all certainty. People are more and more alone with themselves, immersed in the fatigue of everyday life, where there is only a fragmentary, disturbing, ephemeral present. We live in a world that oscillates between hope and fear, in which anguish continues to surface on the occasion of catastrophes, wars, crises, diseases. In this world, works of art allow these pains to be perceived and become representative of a reality full of contradictions and fractures.The present presses and imposes itself on the artist’s conscience, on his ability to understand, on his aesthetics, solving his personal expressive urgency in an explosion of graphic signs, shapes and colors. An individual expressive language, linked to the subconscious that presses to emerge.
An artist is an aesthetic researcher who immerses himself in the contemporary world to experience the historical and technological situation in which he lives.
The work of art becomes a simultaneous description of contaminations, fractures, misunderstandings, illusions, in an indissoluble relationship with the historicity and physicality of the techniques (from the ancient Greeks to the present day without interruption). But this logic also has as a consequence the continuous change, the continuous becoming, the flow, in other words.
The artist’s research is aimed at the representation of an object or a person, not in its real appearance, but in its truth as it emerges to consciousness, moment by moment. The aesthetics of flow manages to understand and assimilate diametrically opposed phenomena within its borders.
The artist must be consistent with his own inner flow. To obey the creative flow, the artist is sometimes led to draw on the iconographic images of cinema, history, photography, eros, art, without hypocrisy, mixing high art and popular images. It is possible for the artist to deal with the entire baggage of the artistic tradition without historical or hierarchical distinctions. In addition to freely adopting styles and languages of the past, it can also use images of others, elaborating and modifying them, problematizing the relationship between current interpretation and historical original.
This is even more true for artists who carry the history of Italian art in their cultural baggage, from the most ancient to the present day.
