Acrylic Spray on steel wool (threedimentional) FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL http://wsimag.com/art/10147-mauro-pallotta Known for his grand wall painting depicting Pope Francis as a superhero (Super Pope), Mauro Pallotta, also known, as Maupal is much more than a street artist. This has been highlighted in his most recent exhibitions, where he has been noted for painting with distinctive techniques on unusual surfaces. Painting with spray cans, Maupal usually uses steel wool as a veneer, on to which he gives life to his emotionally charged portraits. Since 1928 pays homage to the theme of life through the expressions and words of Liliana, an old Roman woman, born on the 4th of January 1928. Through this figure, he conveys his interest in life through the transcendence of time. With a series of looks Liliana accompanies us through the political and cultural changes that have characterized the last century and continue to determine our present. The choice of the artworks titles: 1931, 1933 and 1941, initially seem generic and cold like numbers can be, however they actually serve as a documentation of Maupal’s attention to the passage of time and to the material persistence of memory in people’s lives. Each of the images depicted by Maupal, recognise great figures of the past, such as Salvador Dali, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Bob Marley. Nevertheless, all the figures that the artist portrays, hold the face of Liliana. Hauntingly Maupal is letting viewers know that all these icons are all visibly alive due to this old woman powerful material presence. It is not a coincidence that the beginning of this visual journey begins in 1931, with a portrait of Liliana, wearing Salvador Dalí’s distinctive moustaches on the anniversary of his famous painting The Persistence of Memory. Maupal’s artworks take inspiration from the concept of relativity and subjectivity of time. In fact, like Dali’s painting, for Maupal time cannot be measured in the same way for everyone, because time itself, influences and leave’s its marks on all of us in different ways.
