" art does not repeat visible things, but makes visible ." To these words of Paul Klee seem to be inspired the work of two artists , Salvo Biondo and Paul Campagnolo , in a close and intimate dialogue , explore the concept of " mutation " as initiatory path toward spiritual awakening and the subsequent restoration of the soul, once came to the "vision" of a new level of awareness. The theme of the regeneration of the soul, through a story of evolution , the artists draw from the context of the timeless myth that give a formal resolution by means of artistic language , an update through the invention of a new temporality , and ritualization through the sophisticated and long elaboration of the works themselves . The choice of the mythical dimension is not a mere pretext for authors to invent useful winking formal games but a precise poetic choice that allows them to establish direct contact with the unconscious sphere , deposit all traces experiential and seat of memory . The numerous three-dimensional tapestries of the two artists are the result of a selection of new works , which then gives the viewer a fascinating and imaginative suggestions through archaic , mysterious atmosphere , full of archetypes in a modern key , but also suggests a reflection on the miraculous effects arising from the aesthetic practiced art. The relationship between Man and Work of Art is conceived by the duo as dynamic function , where the art object and the observer are involved in an exchange of mutual influences, from the magical flavor , capable of bringing the latter into a sensory dimension of vitality , which becomes regenerative force , reaching to embrace multiple levels of consciousness. The reasons that make up the repertoire of artists develop within two distinct issues : the mythical animal and the heavenly city , subject intrinsically linked by a common allegory of transmutation into a new form , a new material .
