Jonathan Di Furia (b. 1972, Latina, Italy). He lives and works between Latina (IT) and Nicosia (CY).
ART CRITICISM:
Space Bound, show and text curated by Italo Bergantini and Gianluca Marziani
MAN... vertical, plastic, surrounded by a dense gravitational space
SPACE... horizontal, silent, chained around the body in equilibrium
Jonathan Di Furia plays on an essential perspective principle, here recreated in the pictorial relationship between a single man and a delimited space. An interlocking between the vertical structure of the body and the enveloping openness of the horizontal landscape: each character thus has its elective place, as if it were a tailor-made suit, a silent stage without scenic artifices. The artist outlines a narrative through autonomous acts, where physical actions correspond to the theme of a single story. A sort of post-media metaphysics, daughter of Carlo Carrà and Giorgio Morandi, actualized in the margin of a black and white film but also in the digital codes of optical bench photography.
Gestures of bizarre simplicity float between empty vistas, alienating architectures, metaphysical modernisms and archaeological ruins... in the field there are only adult males, well dressed, sons of an urban cult...
He graduated from the State School of Art in Rome and from Academy of Fine Arts in Frosinone (Italy), in which he attended courses held by Danish artist Thorsten Kirchoff.
