About The Artwork

NANNAR.SIN, the God of the Moon in the Mesopotamian mythology, was the father of the Goddess IN.ANNA; when the Gods left the Earth, he flew into the outback of Arabia and eventually took shelter on the moon. The posture of the God has been imagined by the artist after visiting the famed Romanesque church of Saint Zeno in Verona (Italy), whose wooden door is decorated with bronze panels portraying scenes from New and Old Testament; in the Crucifixion panel a figure is depicted while leaning over the Moon to observe the events on planet Earth, a figure astonishingly looking like the great God NANNAR.SIN as carved in some Mesopotamian cylinder seals: a further proof for the hypothesis of the Lithuanian art historian Jurgis Baltrusaitis, who, in his book “Art Sumèrien, Art Roman”, surmised that some elements of the Sumerian art style were used in the Middle Age, having come to Europe from Mesopotamia through the Armenian Christian art. The framework of the sculpture consists of one half-body male mannequin supported by an iron rod; its torso, neck and head have been suitably twisted and modified, then cladded with sailing ropes to fashion the upper garment and create the god’s facial features; on the top a headdress has been placed, made of plastic sheeting covered with rough fabric (front side) and sailing ropes (back side); the headdress is surmounted by a moon made of small strips of wood; on the figure’s back a large entwined root flows from the neck down to the base of the spine; at waist level a large medaillon shows, in cuneiform script, the high rank of the God (30); the lower part of the body is made from suitably shaped plastic sheeting covered with rough fabric; finally the whole sculpture has been painted and bright varnished.

My name is Luciana Chiusole, but I have also an artist’s name, Bezec, that was my father’s nickname. I have always been seeing in Nature, particularly in the logs, roots and branches of cut off trees, peculiar “forms” – often originated from my reading and traveling experiences – that I try to bring about making up the roots with clay, paper mache and other, to get the shape I have “seen” and eventually painting and varnishing it. Among my recent works, the “Mannequins” series has evolved from this approach, originated from reading about the ancient mythologies when I started “dreaming” of some roots and branches, I had found somewhere, as the distinctive features of a specific “God” or “Goddess” I had learned of.
