Peacocks
I call “Peacocks” supposedly leading or would-be leading Nations in this world that looks like they are much busier in promoting their economical and political agenda than take charge of the complex problems facing all mankind in this historical moment.
Nations that are led by a narrow numbers of oligarchs, in the East and in the West, and where the interests of these few are blindingly overriding the rights of the most.
Global warming, greenhouse effects and melting of the Poles? Antibiotics crises? Rising of new infecting agents, some of them possibly escaped by military labs? Water scarcity?…
Let’s have a meal and a round of talks, this is so far the answer, and of course the production of the next “white book”.
Triumph of Vanity.
About marco maurizio gobbo
Born in Milan on 14 July 1961.
During my adolescence I developed an interest in writing and acting, working for various amateur and semi-professional theater companies.
In 1990 I moved to London, returned to Italy in 1994,where I joined "Il Raccolto, Association of Authors and Artists of all Cultural Disciplines" directed by Daniele Oppi.
In 1998 I became a student and apprentice of the Master painter Mintoy. Starting from the unique use of colors and hues in the works of James Ensor, and Olga Rozanova, Mintoy is a "visual searcher" who use colors and chromatic nuances, intended as pure light, as expression of concepts, meanings and emotions.
Following the teaching of Mintoy I started my own painting discourse where pure colors are used in Abstract and Representative form, gradually exploring techniques close to Neo Expressionism, Action Painting and Lyrical Abstraction.
Since 2006 I live between Europe and China.
I am among the founders and promoters of The Making - Art Management of Hong Kong, serving as Asia Managing Director. You may follow this blog in Italian at www.themaking.blog.exibart.com, look for ARTASIA in the blog section.
Welcome comments, happy reading.
