Description of the digital artwork:
In this digital artwork, Cesare Catania resumes his oil on canvas painting entitled “Harlequin in the Land of the Giants” (2017) and revisits it in a digital key. In this digital version, the artist expresses his thought even more explicitly: the man, represented by Arlecchino (a comic and dramatic character at the same time), intends to chase his thoughts. In this run-up, the head rolls and twirls in space, as if wanting to simultaneously show both the lightheartedness and lightness of the character and the continuous chase behind their ideas and ambitions.
This crazy race behind their thoughts takes place. in a wider context, in a world where companies and multinationals (represented by the giant’s sculpture) literally play with us, a pastime that is represented by dice, chess and an engineering book, objects that respectively represent chance, strategy and method.
