About The Artwork
Pastels and Ovid Mixing soft (giant Sennelier) pastels with watercolours, gouache, collage, spike, oils, and so on is not new to me but since April I have been working with them exclusively on much larger canvases - as paintings and not drawings or sketches. Given that the nature of pastel is to facilitate speed of execution "nel fissare il muovere" it is actually the most appropriate material for me: Ovid's "Metamorphoses" has long been a primary inspiration and is my only overt literary source. The book embraces such concepts as ambiguity, shape-shifting, loss, transformation , the comic in pathos - things, akin to clouds, that cannot be pinned down and defy definition, that dominate my work. This is significant since I am not particularly interested in narrative illustration and see the stories more as a pretext and a way to enter in conversation with a long tradition of paintings. Ultimately I'm most interested in the wall-power and an emotional colour impact of the work on the viewer.

'Ce n'est pas la colle qui fait collage.' Max Ernst Lovica Dean is an unknown American-Italian artist. Ovid's Metamorphoses and the paranoid/critical method are worth mentioning as cardinal wellsprings for her practice. Her paintings usually include collage which best expresses the Humpty Dumpty times in which we live, with explicit references to painting of the past, and almost always worked on over years to arrive at a Pompeiian appearance.
