ARRIGO BUTTAZZONI Cavazzon
and Venus “Venus” has ancient origins and
represents the goddess of love and beauty. It is love expressed physically,
through pleasure, the pleasure of the senses before becoming a spiritual
whole. She rejoices in giving men pleasure and they do not put up any
resistance. Since her birth she has always been
a great source of creative stimulus for many painters, sculptors, poets and
musicians. A theme celebrated in a countless
number of variations, with esthetic solutions of the highest degree. My friend, Giovanni Cavazzon, is
deserving of two things. First, he has stood up excellently to the
esthetic/narrative comparison with great artists of the past. The second very
important reason is that he has achieved results: Giovanni Cavazzon has
searched deep inside himself “finding” and bringing out novel and original
ways of representations, which would not be so if it had not been for his
uncompromising technical skill. He has the ability with few
skillful strokes combined with an overall perfect layout of colour and
details to give the final effects a sense of “accomplishment”. And if I may add, this is indeed
“very rare” nowadays. His Venuses, besides their
otherwise known appearance, transmit innovative sensations driven by the
desire to grasp the evolution of the female figure in its relationship with
everyday life and our times. They are able to isolate time thus making it
hieratic, expressing a sense of fourth dimensional plasticity where they fade
into images of mysteries revealed. They “reveal” the memory of the
birth of the sensations of existence. They are also flowers of immense
beauty, whose destinies are mirrored in the eyes of these women and mothers,
who are aware of their inevitable role. |
