Giuseppe Veneziano

Giuseppe Veneziano (born 22 February 1971 in Mazzarino, Caltanissetta, Sicily) is an Italian painter and one of the leading figures of Italian art groups "New Pop" and "Italian Newbrow". Politics, sex and religion are the three yardsticks that help Giuseppe Veneziano to assess the cultural climate of every period. In his paintings these three dimensions interact frequently, describing the chaos we are living in, among ideological and religious crises. If we look at the artworks of the past, almost 90% are characterized by religious subjects. Therefore, he often starts from them, creating new subjects and visions related to the present day. His aim is to revive interest in the paintings of the past to find out the relationships they may have with the world around us. Pop culture plays an important role in contemporary society. For Giuseppe Veneziano it contains the global energy that allows us to be amusing, playful, philosophers, experimenters and communicators. Contemporary Pop Art for him is dynamic, multiple and plural, thanks also to the web space and the new social media. He wants to tell us that creating art today means jumping over our limits, melting the most diverse languages and allowing their interaction, supporting the creation of new and more contaminated expressive forms. The Pop Art of Veneziano wants to be the art that speaks to people simply, dealing with the life values that people find interesting and important instinctively. In spite of their ironic nature, his works of denunciation generally create a sensation. When he conceives a new work, this stems from an idea that is always the product of something he sees, he reads or listens to. Starting from these premises, he has summarized his vision in these few words: "if one of my works cause a stir, maybe it is reality itself that is scandalous".
