Enzo D'Agostino
 
Ego Sum
I believe in absolute facts.
I do not believe in mass culture.
I feel great compassion for the human being and for many individuals within the animal kingdom.
Nevertheless, the concept of mass culture means nothing to me.
I can see it.
Even appreciate the complexity in the intentions that officially justify it.
However, I do not believe in it.
Art sucks too
Still!
There is something in the human mind I find greatly interesting and intriguing.
Not as a psychologist, not even as a philosopher.
But as an artist plain and simple.
Like in a landscape: where is light? White square. Where is dark? Black square. When something rises like a mountain… when it spreads out like a valley. No square. When it is crossed by water or patched by woods. Red square.
The effect of external agents upon it. Control agents. Innovative agents. A challenge.
The devastation inflicted upon the natural landscape reflects a condition similar to that to which the mind is painfully subjected. The ego is sore. Too much light. Too much heat. No wind.
Enzo D'Agostino studied in Rome at the Accademia di Belle Arti and in London at Wimbledon College of Art. He lives and works in London.
