Available catalog where the photograph of the work. 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. I painted the compositions with acrylic colours on canvas, using the COWMAN as a model. On top of this icon, the composition, realized with wood painted in bright colours, contains my subjective inner projections. The presence of words in the composition is important. The text is written in sand from different beaches of the world (Sardinia, Calabria, Fiumicino, Venice, Rimini in Italy; Costa Brava in Spain Tripoli) in different nuance, rough sand. The content of the text is a fragment history of jazz, found on newspaper. This text gives the subject a contemporary and rhythmic meaning. I used a digital printed drawing on paper and developed the project of the Metamorphosis of the COWMAN.

About The Artwork

COWMAN South East Australia is a spatial bas-relief painting. VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7pPRIDBq_w Catalog online: https://www.sfogliami.it/fl/261180/y1spkn68j9t2cyuvv2q3n1gzxq9k?fbclid=IwAR29sf-0GF4I1VjuqqXQMxiHlewrT7Pmh88uNj2AlfUaKyh7D9uYgAW9chE#page/1 Photo in Hall of Caesar, Mercati di Traiano - Museo dei Fori Imperiali, Rome. It has been exhibited in 4 solo exhibitions and 1 group exhibition. The "COWMAN of the world" message is set on the environmental problem, the search for equilibrium on earth through the discovery of values, nature, man, culture, the problem of multiculturality and intercultuirality are the concepts are at the center of his research. The COWMAN icon, her artistic visionary reflection on the current world that proposes a possible solution to current crises through the auspice of the birth of a new creature. Protagonist of the future, it is destined to rediscover the ancient values of the founding tradition, to fight against inequalities, to protect peace in the world and above all to restore the balance of life on the planet, solving the pollution problem. Fruit of the imagination and produced by a metamorphosis between the human body - artwork and the body of the cow, L'UOMOMUCCA is the icon of the union between nature and civilization (the cow represents nourishment, nature, the atavistic, sacredness, madre Terra; the man represents intelligence, conscience and civilization). Born sporadically in different continents, it multiplies to become a population and evolves. His mutation from the "Animal Man" to COWMAN of the world, a citizen of the world, contrasts the invasive presence of man's excesses on the Earth. By evoking the history of man's evolution and at the same time of the spirit that resides in all of us, COWMAN of the world is the expression of multiculturalism, of the fight against the breaking down of cultural boundaries.
