Surreal Landscapes Venezia Canal Grande # 3.
This is a surreal reflex produced by a metal plate. The deformed image is
producted by reflex. I have satured the color of sky.
CARLO D’ORTA – ART PROJECT
Photographing the landscape through the eyes of
metaphysics and surrealism, taking with me memories of the lessons of Antoni
Gaudi and Salvador Dali mixed with the strong emotions of the dream vision of
Niki de Saint Phalle and plans shifted or mirrored by Francis Bacon and
Michelangelo Pistoletto.
This is the purpose of my project “Surreal Landscapes”.
A project born on the land and in Italian cities. It
is a return to the places where we Italians are grown, full of our culture and
of our classical Renaissance and Baroque art, but trying to immerse myself in
them in a more personal way, to penetrate deeper into the spirit. But it is
also something more.
It 's a way to investigate and suggest a new reality,
done by the distortion of the shapes produced by the reflection on car bonnets
and metal surfaces, and (sometimes) the handling of colors. The landscape is
transformed in a dream and, as in psychoanalysis, through the dream it tells to
ourselves and to others the deepest emotions.
