Organismo Meccanico - Limited Edition 7 of 20 Print

This work is the main translation, in art, of Luca Valerio D’Amico’s thought. Already the title suggests two concepts in opposition, ‘organismo’ = organism is a living being, born, not built, like the name ‘meccanico’ = mechanical, implies. In this artwork, mechanicalness is its exactly mirrored opposite, its contrary, its nemesis: to say organismo meccanico [mechanical organism] is like saying magnificent ugliness. This concept of the double contrary is a constant topic in the works of the artist. Organismo Meccanico can be understood as a window opening on human and animal existence, in which everything is created by a superior entity (be it divine or natural) and everything has its mirror image in something, tied together by the same bond (the uninterrupted line of the artist, his leitmotif). Luca Valerio’s art is refined quotation, intelligent reflection, graphical innovation.
