METROPOLIS GROUP INVITE YOU TO THE LAUNCH OF "ONE VISION", THE NEW
EXHIBITION BY MIRKO'
At Metropolis Studios, The Powerhouse, 70 Chiswick High Road, London W4
1SY.
2-16 SEPTEMBER 2011 - 6pm-10pm
'One Vision' - 15 paintings inspired by the albums of Queen, by Italian
artist, Mirko'.
When Mirko' was asked what was it about Queen that inspires him, he
replied:
"Queen were and continue to be the soundtack of my life. I think that in
some ways their creativity has contributed to my formation as an artist.
The idea of this project was born a long time ago, often when I was young
I would look for inspiration in the lyrics of Queen songs for my subject
matter. I always hoped that one day I would exhibit them but it is not
always easy to bring things to fruition and up until now I have kept this
dream on hold.
In the last three years I have taken up the challenge again with the idea
of exhibiting my works to the public for Queen�s 40th anniversary. The
project is based on 15 paintings, the same number as there are studio
albums. Each painting has been inspired by a song on each of the albums.
Thus the culmination of love, justice, passion, mythology and legend,
which is Queen."
About Mirk�:
Mirk� was born on the Amalfi coast in 1980. He began painting at seven
years old. Mirk�s father realized his young son�s artistic qualities. He
arranged for Mirk� to take drawing lessons from the Dutch artist, Frans
Brugman, a painter who worked with M.C. Escher on several projects
representing the town of Atrani. Young Mirk� and Brugman started a long
friendship until Brugman�s death in 2002. Brugman often told Mirk� �You
are lucky, you won�t have to stuggle like I did. It�s all in your hands.�
Brugman was right. Shortly after Brugman�s death, Mirk� started a
brilliant career. At only 18 years old, an art dealer in Ravello sold
several pieces to Gore Vidal who appreciated the originality of his style.
Two years later Robert Zemeckis, struck by the colors and imagination of
Mirk�s work, bought a few pieces. The most significant work of his
artistic life, �Parsifal,� was made on lavastone. It was commissioned in
2004 by Rupert Murdoch.
In 2007, Mirk� began a cooperation with art dealer, Rock Walker,
entrusting him with the exclusive sale of his work.When asked about his
success, Mirk� says, �I think it is predestined, everything comes like a
gift from God.�
In some of his first research, Mirk� came across some stylized figures
drawn on the tombs of the civilization Cuma (Naples) in the third century
B.C. While the features are simple, this work inspired Mirk�s current
style. Trained as a graphic artist, Mirk� says, �I consider my style more
graphic than pictorial. My research goes toward the bidimensionality,
giving more preference to the color than to the tridimensinality and to
the definition of details.�
The use of color in Mirk�s work is deep, dynamic, lively, vigorous, yet
conflicting. It is something almost never seen before. Everything is
achieved using primary colors, layed down with vitality and without tonal
dissolution. In short: Broken painting.

Warhol aveva capito tutto prima di tutti.
Non aggiungo altro perch� raramente in vita mia ho provato tanto schifo 
davanti alla cosiddetta "ARTE".
