LUX EX TENEBRIS - N° 3 / 3 Photograph - Limited Edition of 1

Photographer, painter, sculptor, writer, music composer, Birdy Tg is a multimedia artist. For him, nothing is definitively compartmentalized in Art. Birdy Tg wants to feel totally free inside of his artistic expression, with no genre limitation, and that’s why he prefers to speak about Visual Art better than Photography as he often gladly mixes painting, drawing and photography all together into his art. The German Art Critic, Hans Herrmann, writes about Birdy Tg in 2014:“Birdy Tg pushes further and breaks for well all the Photography limits we used to know before… …Birdy Tg’s style is very unique and strong, escaping to all traditional classifications, far from what is usually given to see in the nowadays tidal wave of images. Meanwhile, if a classification is needed, his photography could be described as Lyrical, Poetic, Oneiric, Allegorical and Romantic. He, himself, always describes his photographs as Visual Poems and Dramas. Whatever, we are in presence of a body of artwork, in no way coincidental, but extremely meticulous and thought, and which makes think. Each of the smallest details, even the most hidden ones, provides yet more evidences to serve the underlying philosophical comment. Most of his artworks are stuffed of coded messages but also of a bunch of literature, painting, cinema, photography references and work as a true treasure hunt... There is for sure the prime impact of the skill then always the possibility to dive deeper in Birdy Tg’s endless world… …Birdy Tg uses a lot of different photography techniques, drawing and paintings that he patiently mixes in very large format frescoes. Some of his most recent works include more than 2000 photographs in a single artwork which required over several thousands hours to produce. His photography often plays with a rich palette of dark tones and focused light in a very elegant way, his aesthetics being not without reminding the classic Japanese Art by the whole aestheticism but also for the rigour of the global construction.But I personally get the feeling that he could touch any style with brio thanks to an obvious very tough classical art background. This is what I had the chance to confirm again when very recently seeing his latest Serie “In the Garden of God and the Devil, I discovered new astonishing works in which he could so easily mix without contradiction Baroque and Caricature Art, Surrealism and Minimal Art.
