The search for perfection in imperfection, the contrast of barely sketched bodies and figures that seem to emerge from jute, the material strength of asphalt, the use of unusual and unconventional materials, these are the pictorial characteristics of Francesco Patanè.
The artist has always played on imperfection, to bring out the true nature of the depicted subject, its profound essence, its hidden "I", the sensitivity of the individual regardless of physical appearance, in fact his slogan is: imperfection is beauty. His art is aimed at recovering a primordial ideal of representation and its focus on the bodies or faces of ordinary people is linked to the predilection for aesthetic imperfections which, in his opinion, are the most fascinating and enigmatic part of every single individual , perfection is in being, not in appearing.
According to Patanè, art must reproduce, evoke and excite the observer but, more importantly, it is in the artist that the work of art must be able to convey that emotion.A reflective figurative artist, the artist loves to define his style, since what inspires his imagination rather than defined and harmonious subjects are drafts of "people". Not simple bodies, therefore, but people. In contrast to the "imperfection" of the people reproduced, the artist takes meticulous care in the processing of the materials used, which leads him to even start from the wooden frame on which the work will be fixed, and then move on to the processing of the jute sack , in which he creates a primer with glue and acrylic and, in the end, once everything has dried, he outlines the character to be transferred onto canvas.
He then proceeds with the pouring of tarry asphalt to reach the final realization of the work. In the works of Francesco Patanè one can glimpse only an initial hint of abstractionism, which then, through the superposition of the materials used, produces, almost by magic, through disorganizing lines and flows of asphalt, human figures and bodies, in which one can glimpse his primary source of inspiration, the genius and neo-expressionism of Jean Michel Basquiat. Passionate artist, who draws his artistic and character peculiarities from his Sicilian origins, a frank and sincere personality who greatly loves direct encounters with his audience because, as he himself declares, what matters is to excite and be moved, often giving , to the audience present, the priceless experience of live performance, with impromptu live paintings.
3 Biographical notes by Francesco Patanè : Francesco Patanè, Roman, born in 1986, trained in the "Landscaping Course" at the Ludovico Quaroni Faculty of Architecture at La Sapienza, but soon developed an original style which led him, rather than to design, to painting, clearly departing from the techniques usual pictorial. His passion for art began within the home, where creativity is at home, his uncle was a painter and a sculptor, his mother was a designer, stylist and she immediately passed on to him the love of art.
A significant part, however, is occupied by his first middle school art teacher, who appreciated his works and encouraged his artistic streak. An eclectic artist, he also dabbles in music, out of pure passion. The artist declares: “The world of art has always fascinated me even if life's obstacles put me in front of a forced choice. For economic reasons I was unable to continue my academic studies.
