The human infant
art critic to the painter Daniele De Carolis
Accustomed as we are to see Christ crucified, in poses that border on sadism, finally we find the same theme - that of the Crucifixion, so dear painters - reinterpreted. To do this is Daniele De Carolis, young and emerging artist, of Italian origin and brilliantly at that expatriate in Barcelona. De Carolis wants the Crucifixion, but do not want either Christ or the Cross. They want to recover, but, gesture, idea, posting almost artistic body in the air. And this desire leads to the end, to turn it into an illusion. Why is not the Crucifixion, but a child shapes boterianamente swollen, which can not be defined even hanged. It is a human infant, through a cloth, long, straight, rough, simbolicissima a beam of fabric, which evokes the death of Christ. The human infant tends to lift your feet and legs, as if they would not know anything about the world, and its too easy everyday life. This child, deceptively crucified and hanged, is the God of modernity, is what Christ would happen if he died now and not two thousand years ago. It would be a child, perhaps in Africa, the AIDS victim, or an Indian left in the bank of a river, born sick sick and died, with the legs already marked by evil ... feet tied, but not by a rope, but by ' inability to walk, and hands not crucified, but open, full of hope, the only thing that remains the man when he no longer knows where look: that the sky ... the sky, however, that the child does not look at De Carolis does not keep. His attachment to the flesh is such that even in the face of certain death, continues to contemplate with the eyes closed, these atoms of diseases and dirty capitalist revenge. De Carolis has the human infant, instead of the wooden beam, hard, hard to bear, now damp with regret, the shroud of Christ, which is just what it traverses, in the neck and groin, and that the beatific, makes it extraordinarily divine in its apparent proximity to death. The human infant is a little Christ, Christ, perhaps of all the atheists, especially those angry with the world, those who think that Jesus, if his is the son of God, can not but turn our gaze to the ground and his men, especially to his enemies, to expose the cowardice and the ease of which are filled with pride.
We wanted a picture so in a youth production. A distance of time, you discover how young Daniel, with this work, full of humility, has left a mark, even the sign of a mystery, at least for a second he had the ability to cross and make them feel all good and the evil that carries within it the Divine.
