About The Artwork

The Queen of Arles: Work of the club of lunatics, the central painted aluminum element of the table represents the Queen of Arles. The choice of white color is linked to the wedding dress which is the protagonist of this folkloristic event. In April 1930, in order to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Frédéric Mistral, the Festival committee decided to elect the first queen of Arles. Arles decides to commemorate this anniversary. The election took place on March 30, 1930. That year Frédéric Mistral, the poet, would have been 100 years old Large parties are organized imitating the felibres, who, as early as 1887, had elected a Queen. Thus, one day in 1930, Arles was transformed into a kingdom (all symbolic). Kingdom over which reigns a young girl whose ceremonial clothing is our traditional costume.

For Giulio Galgani contemporary people live in a dimension where a myriad of signs and symbols overlap and painting can only reflect this reality. The dimension in which the works lead us is that of an artist who bears witness to our era, in which in his multimedia existence roams through video, theatre, music, and performances, though painting currently has a predominant role. His painting has been called "primordial, emotional, informal, a synthesis between figurative and abstract, material" and has been compared variously to Basquiat, Mirò, Klee, Burri, Kandinsky, the comic phrasing of Topor, the graphics of his American friend the graffiti artist Toxic. But the references to artists and techniques are obvious in an artist trained in the awareness of the genesis and developments of contemporary art, whose contamination is the key to cultural growth. With Galgani, art as a dimension of the present comes back into play, for stylistic substance, wealth of contents and ever metamorphosing forms, in a realm dominated by Golems. Per Giulio Galgani l’uomo contemporaneo vive in una dimensione in cui si sovrappongono una miriade di segni e simboli e la pittura non può che rispecchiare questa realtà. La dimensione in cui le opere ci accompagnano è quella di un artista testimone del nostro tempo che, nel suo essere multimediale, spazia tra video, teatro, musica, e performances, anche se attualmente la pittura ha un ruolo predominante. La sua pittura è stata definita “primordiale, emozionale, informale, sintesi tra figurativo e astratto, materica” e diversi accostamenti a Basquiat, Mirò, Klee, Burri, Kandinsky, ai fraseggi fumettistici di Topor, alla grafica dell’amico cartista Americano Toxic. Ma i riferimenti ad artisti e tecniche, sono ovvi in un artista formatosi nella consapevolezza della genesi e degli sviluppi dell’arte contemporanea, di cui la contaminazione è cifra di crescita culturale. Con Galgani l’arte come dimensione del presente ritorna a essere in gioco, per spessore stilistico, ricchezza di contenuti e forme in continua metamorfosi in uno scenario dominato dei Golem.
