GOTHIC POP TEXTURES 2
It is not always possible for TASTE to
follow a straight road, because it is linked to the social and political
situations in which we live.
Man's need to be more introspective,
attracted by mysticism and non-rational figures, full of ancient, spiritual
meaning, has
produced a look ever-present after '68: the
"DARK" look which took several roads up to the present time.
A gothic look, made up of involutions,
forms that are complex, harsh, excessive, lacking colour and very stylized.
This "DARK" look has evolved into
a NEW LIBERTY, lightening the original heaviness, for example bringing a skull
to be
associated with a spray of flowers.
The gloominess of the times has felt the
need to become lighter.
I have synthetizised these stylistic
features in "GOTHIC POP" and the books of this series.
In "Gothic Pop Textures Vol. 2" I
have tried to raise the level of
disorder and creativity. More varied and less elegant,
it is fresh and young for a more aggressive
target than the first volume.
The complexity of the icons and geometries
made of circles, lines or optical fillings has determined its style,
also arrows and stars, hearts and skulls, a
whole universe that can sometimes be found in the tattoos that the young
and not-so-young love so much.
Every texture is chaos in itself where
creative people who like to be stimulated and be daring can fish out something, a
fragment to use in a project of theirs.
I could say that there has been a jump in
time, as if we had travelled into the future, hypothesising a new graphic
scenario.
A book where new discoveries can be made on
every reading.
