Acrylic, wood, paper, sand; 2006; dim. 60cm x 120cm It hangs on the wall with hangers . The work has a certificate of authenticity on the back. Catalogs and poster availables. I painted the compositions COWMAN (Eastern Africa) with acrylic colours on canvas. On top of this icon, the composition, realized with wood painted in bright colours, contains my subjective inner projections, creating a structure of sand and acrylic colors with the thickness of a bas-relief. I used a drawing project on paper and developed the Metamorphosis of the COWMAN. The "COWMAN" represents the icon of the fusion between the cow and the human body and becomes the symbol of the union between nature and civilization. The product of metamorphosis and mutation, literally meaning the metaphor of creativity. THE COWMAN - L'UOMOMUCCA is born sporadic and simultaneously in different continents: "Eastern Africa COWMAN", "North America COWMAN", " Europe COWMAN", "South-Eastern Australia COWMAN", "Eastern Asia COWMAN", "South America COWMAN". Their existence is necessary to re-establish the equilibrium of life on our Earth. The COWMAN derives from "Man - Animal" ("Animal-Man) and represents his final evolved form. He means a new "creature" that our conservation and survival spirit seeks. The cow symbolizes nourishment, the nature, the instinct, the ancestral, the sacredness, the Earth. Human beings represent intelligence, consciousness and civilization. Today, the interplay between, on one hand, the ancestral, the natural and, on the other, civilization becomes difficult because of the intrusive presence of human creatures on Earth. The COWMAN is the ideal prototype of the new creature living on earth, the main actor of the future, born to restore the precious equilibrium of our world. We live in a period of significant psycho-social, political, economical and spiritual problems. The winning back of an equilibrium entails solving the problem of pollution, fighting for peace on Earth and for equal distribution of resources, returning to nature, re-evaluating common social, ethical and cultural values. The COWMAN carries this message of vitality and life. This new creature multiplies on all continents to became one population. The COWMAN evolves and becomes the "COWMAN OF THE WORLD", citizen of the world. His message is positivity. He represents the history of our conditioned transformation and of evolution of our spirit. And of Our spiritual evolution. This subject represents my artistic and philosophical thinking about our world, today. It stands as the conclusion of my work on the "Metamorphosis". I began working around this theme 20 years ago, when my favourite works were the drawings, engravings and lithographies. Then, I started to use the body of animals (cow, horse, wild boar, pork) and the human body as pretexts in my creations (web site: www.luminitataranu.it). I have worked on the cow for 20 years and now my subject has evolved to became a potential superior creature. I have worked on this theme since 2006, producing material and digital works, in two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms and installations. The work has been exhibited at the exhibitions: 2013/2014: Columna mutātio - Itineraria Picta, contemporary artistic installations in the exhibition "Columna. Arte, Traces, Transmedia. Tribute to the Column of Trajan".Imperial Forums Museum/Trajan’s Markets, Rome.
