Nonsense: Demetrio Di Grado<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at the Scandinavian Collage Museum in Rennebu, Norway
Through October 2020<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Demetrio Di Grado was born in Palermo, Italy in 1976. After spending time in Hip Hop culture (1994-2000), he became fascinated by art and especially by painting. In 2012, he founded ManSourcing, the association that started his artistic project: the promotion of art in all its possible forms. Thus began a path full of collaborations with numerous artists on the national and international scene, including exhibitions, street art projects and festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Collage: In 2016, Di Grado revolutionized his way of making art by starting to cut and glue every day using collage as a tool of temporary escape from everyday life. In a continuous exploration of new cutting and interlocking techniques, he has, over time, built and refined a language and stylistic code that is recognized today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research: Di Grado draws his images from magazines published between the 1930s and 1960s. He archives these as a real researcher, including the sensations that they transmit from the war and post-war periods: years of rebirth, hope and change. These images remain intact in their identity but are re-contextualized in a semantic updating process closer to the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eyes: In these works, the figure is always in the centre: faces of men, women, children. Over their eyes is a message that passes through time until it reaches our present: a provocation, a reflection; eyes that speak; their signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di Grado’s collages for “Nonsense” were created specifically for this exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
