"LES NAUFRAGÉS" Painting

I read from a page of my auto-biography “SPARE TIME”, written four years ago: - In my character is very deep-seated a genuine passion for the differences, the minorities, the weak, the losers: I am drawn to it, inexorably intrigued. To all the different, incomprehensible, mysterious and, consequently, menacing. Even more if it’s neglected, emarginated, socially taken with distrust by the most of people. An innate impulse. In a page of an old notebook I found a quote, evocative of the poem “Une saison en Enfer”, published by Arthur Rimbaud on 1873: (You choose me from among the castaways, aren’t those who remain my friends?) – I went looking for this statement and re-read it, because lately I’ve realized that I feel an irrepressible attraction also to the urban debris. Marginal corners, missed and secluded from the town, where miserably survive the remains of an archaic squalor, fallen, corroded, crumbling and abandoned. This new passion of mine made me think about a subconscious denial reaction to my past as an architect, during which I worked for years giving shape and body to the technological precision, the shining modernity, the crystalline elegance, the winning comfort. On the other hand, with regard to the impressing presence of King Kong in the picture, I can say that, if it’s true, as Carl Denham said at the end of the “King Kong” movie of the 1933, that: “It wasn’t the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast”, well I can affirm that the giant gorilla he too was member of the same race of the rest of all of us “the poor castaways”.
