Enrico
Roberto Morelli was born in 1961 in Cairo Montenotte, he studied at the high
school Calasanzio and the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Pisa, more than
twenty years is present in the international art world.
The work of Enrico Roberto
Morelli, even if it does not belong to the current of Conceptual Art in the
strict sense, it remains for the aspects of development related to it.
He has
always given his attention to the relationship between the real and the
imaginary, trying to strike up a relationship of coexistence and respect.
In the
research is clear the attention to want to present images not as a representation, but as a
preliminary sketch of a thought, where space is available and free, in a sort
of metaphor.
With the
deepening of critical rationalism by Antonio Banfi and the approach to the
concepts expressed by Umberto Eco in his essay Opera Aperta, in which sets out
the principles according to which the art, even visual, does not close in a
sort of selfreferential lyrical-expressive expression but it allows to weave a dialogue with all its
possible connections that kicks off the series of works called "Pre-text
2.0" presented in various national and international exhibitions. It's a
series of acrylics on boards framed in which Morelli focuses the expressive
aspect on the space, which becomes physical, between the images leaving the
field to the perceptual-subjective componentin a conscious intentional
inexistence.
The
relational aesthetics that is based on the theory of Nicolas Bourriaud for a
universe of human interrelationships gives new life to research and lays the
foundations of the birth of the project QRt.
The QRt were
exposed for the first time in March 2013 at the Priamar fortress of Savona in a
collective exhibition.
The QRt
based their aesthetic component in the magic of primitive graffiti carved into
African limestone looking warm, Mediterranean, combining them in a rich and
engaging dialogue.
The focus is
on higt contrasts topics where social rights are suffocated, where are hidden
the principles of freedom of fairness, distancing himself from the current
"enchanted disenchantment". This takes place in a sort of temporal
fusion thanks to the QR code's interactivity, which opens a collective dialogue
which gains social and political characters.
As
Sebastian Matta said "the function of the artist in our society is to be
this character, the dazzling insulted, as the child of Andersen's tale, the
only one to say that "the Emperor has nothing at
all on ".
