Textures of senses
Written by Luisa Califano
Translation by Giovanna Andolina

In the era of the globalization, influenced by the constant flow of the information, the creativeness appropriates itself of new tools. It crosses unexplored itineraries and inaugurates new and fluid representative spaces; in this way it picks up the difficult challenge of creating new artistic languages able to "make visible a reality “which ,today, seems to propose a different perception of the relationships between space and time.
The interesting creations of Vincenzo Montella move into this experimental context.
Through a thin play of forms, they build a metaphoric transformation of the dimension of the still present, which belongs to the era of globalization, till it becomes a mythical co presence of elements of time and space.
In this way we have a scenery that, lost every static nature , allows to its elements to fluctuate/swing in a dimension of the here and the now that is never here and it is never now.
That’s the creative play that well represents and elaborates again the big illusion of the contemporary times , in a completely personal vision.
Reality and imagination dance in a magic three-dimensional atmosphere, on a surface only apparently in two-dimensions. Distant fragments of the memory go alongside with productions of fantasy on a landscape of remote worlds.
In a strange play of lights, nearly physical elements of an archaic memory coexist with a shiny reality of the present, in a coexistence that succeeds in canceling each possible return to a relationship of temporal succession.
The images of the past come out from translucent jewel-cases, precious containers of memories, barely hidden in the bright light of the present, which radiates them everywhere ,since it has lost every possibility of concealing them.
It doesn’t matter if they were ever tied up by painful breaks: now it is no longer important, since new and alive is the contextual relationship; new and alive is the play that they create around themselves, in that particular way of being there, on that short perceptive part of a city, in the being there , layed and mixed with the feelings of the present, greeted and dragged by a vivid creativeness.
In this atmosphere ,the expressive codes of the author and of the spectator spread out in a creative meeting; they weave grids of sense through a myriad of metaphoric and metonymic combinations which constantly follow, balance and empower each other.
Observing the work of Vincenzo Montella means to be transported through this myriad of meanings, giving up the illusion of sharing with the author, once and for all, something sensible., as it is right to happen in front of a work of art.
