Till November 7th some Gino De Dominicis selected artworks will be hosted at MAXXI, the National Museum of XXI Century’s Fine Arts in Rome. This Italian Artist, one of the most controversial Italian character after the second world war, owes his celebrity to his capacity to steer clear of any artistic movement that defined the last 50 years of the Italian history. At the mean time painter, philosopher, architect and sculptor, De Dominicis had been able to maintain an unusual lifelong mystery halo on himself.
His art, defined by a fundamental techniques trans-contamination has often a deep philosophical meaning. One example is the “Immortality second solution (The motionless Universe)”, exhibited for in 1972 at the Venice Biennial in which you can find a Down’s syndrome plagued boy in a corner seating in front of an invisible cube, a rubber ball (falling from two meters height) in the moment before his ground bounce and a stone in movement waiting for. Another philosophical artwork, or event or installation, had been the cocktail organized in Rome in 1973 to celebrate the overtaking of the Second law of thermodynamics.
De Dominicis won the Paris Biennial international price in 1985 and in 1990 he presented in Grenoble his most famous artwork, the “Cosmic Magnet”, a human skeleton, laying down, 24 meters long and 9 meters width built on a perfect human anatomy but not for his nose, unbelievably big, as in a lot of De Dominicis artworks.
This is one of the MAXXI hosted artworks till November 7th. The exhibition tries to explain the progression of a an artistic uncategorizable-eclectic production with more than 130 artworks.
