King Kong Balls 35 cm. Brown Patina. Edition of 8, signed and numbered #3/8. Sculpture

Miniature Bronze ( Foundery Guastini,Italy) version based on the original work displayed during the 2017 Venice biennale to the palazzo Bembo. A narrative figurative work, atypical, unique, joyful, hilarious byDenis Defrancesco, the creator and founder of DefrancescoArt. Today, I am inviting you at the heart of my universe, reflecting the multifarious array of startling, sometimes puzzling stagings, which all retrace, with an acute sensibility, my life path. As an Epicurean art designer, I work relentlessly. While rooting my work in real world events, I seek to exorcise my inner demons. I do not consider certain pieces of my artwork to be vulgar… The sole aim is to understand and know why these art pieces emerge from my imagination and come into existence. Tormented on occasion, some of them bear the mark of Outsider Art and contain many references referring to my childhood, to religion, tolerance, injustice, sex under all of its aspects, but above all to my love for freedom, in its broadest sense and under all of its aspects. The expression in my artwork is enhanced by subtle and poignant accompanying texts which I invite you to read, so as to more deeply embrace what is hidden behind each of my creations. My belief in Contemporary Art and determination helped me pursue my quest for success, as when I was chosen for a first exhibition hosted by the GAA Foundation’s Gallery during the Viva Arte Viva Biennale, in Venice, in May 2017. “I create what I feel, while leaving my imprint” – Denis Defrancesco. … King Kong’s Balls, the Gaze of a King, the Royal Pause for the gallery… Between Conceit and indifference, a certain idea of freedom cast in bronze… Sculpt and let the sculpture speak for itself… … Those who will see nothing but its attributes will have seen nothing, understood nothing… A grand show to bug the ‘right-minded’… to deceive fools… A half-smile… … The coarse illusion of an impudent Monkey… The taunt of Kong to set the art-fair “cheetahs’” tongues wagging, for all the masturbatory bonobos to cop complexes…. His balls out in the open like coconuts thrown in the faces of conformism. … The calm resistance of an untamed Monkey… His gaze is elsewhere… Far from the human menagerie, from this narrow-minded world… Far from this brash theater, this crass comedy… … The Kong has a dream… A paradise lost… With no cage and no master… Freedom at the foot of My Tree … A laugh that we cannot hear… His balls like gongs to summon the Great Awakening…
