PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Bonelli ArteContemporanea TADASHI MORIYAMA AMNESIAC OCTOBER 3 – NOVEMBER 6, 2009 Opening Saturday 3rd October 2009 – 6.30pm Bonelli ArteContemporanea resumes the exhibition programme with the Autumn solo show of the Japanese artist, Tadashi Moriyama. The artist, who is living in New York, presents his new works where the incisive and unique mark is its distinctive character. The techniques are several: acrylics, gouache, collages, wood and canvas, just to mention some. “Amnesiac” is telling the story of a nowadays hero “who lives in a city where building imitate each other to extreme sameness and continues to grow with expanding tentacles that eats the sun and defecates the moons. The hero struggles with the loss of his original home (Tadashi Moriyama)” with all tools he can find. The intricacy and obsessive mark making process that is evident in each ink and gouache work. In his art we can retrieve references to Indian miniature painting, Buddhist and Hindu paintings, 15-16th century Italian paintings and Alchemist paintings as well experiences in Tokyo and New York. Each painting is rife with apocalyptic imagery rendered in countless repetitions of a few motifs including waffle-like gridded squares forming architectural structures and tubular wobbly connectors slithering in and out of buildings and bodily orifices. The stories behind each series are based on themes of creation and subsequent destruction of cities, memories, space and time. Technological devices and digital media function as manipulators and instigators of fear, death and hopeful renewal. In this occasion there will be the launch of the catalogue of the exhibition with the special contribution of Eric Shiner, Milton Fine Curator of Art at the Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh, USA).
