Kim Simonsson - Moss People

Opere senza tempo che riflettono i mali della società moderna.
di Redazione Art Vibes
La Jason Jaques Gallery di New York presenta dall’8 al 28 Ottobre 2015 la personale di Kim Simonsson, intitolata “Moss People“.
Nato nel 1974 a Helsinki, Finlandia, Simonsson utilizza tecniche tradizionali per creare sculture in ceramica, capaci di catapultare nella dimensione delle fiabe nordiche. Forme animali e bambini innocenti si combinano tra loro, un mix di toni contrastanti che affonda le radici nella mitologia norrena.
Anche se a prima vista tali creature appaiono docili, l’artista infonde in loro un buio che ne condiziona la presenza: le sue opere “sgradevoli“, così come affermato dall’artista, rappresentano un esplicito invito a riflettere sui mali che affliggono la società moderna.
“L’autorità nelle sue molteplici forme mi affascina e nelle mie opere voglio invertire le credenze comuni, rendendo deboli i potenti“.
