The Artistic Nativity Scene by Mario Eremita
The Holy Nativity in Bethlehem

Created during 2014 and 2015, the artwork was exhibited at the Church of San Moisé in Venice ( San Marco ) from 19 December 2015 to 19 January 2016.

Characteristics

Unique piece created entirely by the artist with mixed techniques. The materials used are: wood, plaster and French clay; the overall dimensions are 120 x 70 x 75 cm ( height ); the nativity scene is equipped with LED lighting powered by 220v electricity.

Description

The artwork is composed of scenography inspired by Middle Eastern locations and 31 ( thirty-one ) human and animal figures; the whole is designed to philologically respect the Christian religious tradition. Each part of this work was performed by the artist Mario Eremita and hand painted by the author himself; the piece is unique.

Analysis of the artwork

Mario Eremita’s Artistic Nativity Scene is made with humble and recycled materials, very common in a carpenter’s workshop: old wooden planks, part of a table; of chalk and clay.

The preciousness is not in the mere material but in the contents, in the values that this work intends to inspire.

The scenography is placed in its ideal location, in a small glimpse of Bethlehem whose buildings are characterized by white walls and domed roofs.

Idealized proportions highlight the figures rather than the architecture and they are the protagonists: 31 clay sculptures modeled and painted with all the strong and unmistakable personality of Eremita who, in addition to his passion for details, also adds a fun touch of lightness in the poses of the cat and children playing the whelks to announce the event.

Composition that intrigues and fascinates for the plastic poses, for the colors, for the clothing solutions. Absolutely contemporary in its semblance of classicism, Mario Eremita’s Artistic Nativity Scene shows us a Mary tired from the journey, from the privations of the labor of childbirth but serenely intent on breastfeeding the baby.

Mario Eremita’s sculptures dedicated to music and dance.

Works carried out in 1990 at the Da Pino Restaurant in Piazza dei Signori in Treviso. These are stucco bas-reliefs and 18-carat gold foil coverings. The restaurant is located within the complex of the Palazzo dei Trecento, a building dating back to 1185, completed in 1268. Inside there are suggestive barrel vaults which have been covered with 18 carat gold leaf. Plastic stucco bas-reliefs with the theme of dance and music were placed on the walls.

The artistic layout is a personal expression of the artist’s imagination in concert with the technical and formal needs of the places. The quality of time spent inside the premises of the “Da Pino” restaurant is not comparable to that spent in a conventional public place; but it comes close to the experience of visiting a museum.

The artistic embellishment of the premises offers a very stimulating dialectical perspective and makes the aesthetic experience a natural part of everyday life, allowing the enrichment of our mind; allowing reflection and contemplation, experiences with high added value.

In the past, these experiences did not have a specific and dedicated location ( museum, art gallery ); but they served as a corollary to mystical or more concrete contact with power.
Today we can bring the experience of art to community gathering places without any justification other than the intent to provide a positive emotion.

        Example of contemporary patronage

        Giuseppe Giordano, known as Pino, is an entrepreneur of Salerno origin who has lived and worked in Veneto for over 50 years, in particular in Treviso, where he founded his two restaurants with which he aimed to give a new vision of the taste for pizza and for the other southern dishes. The laurels he received over the years did not distract him from his passion and so Pino continued to open his restaurants/pizzerias throughout the region. In 1990 Giuseppe Giordano became friends with Rinalda Truffi, curator and popularizer of the work of the artist Mario Eremita.

        From the relationship of mutual esteem and admiration and from the profound vocation of patronage that complements Pino’s culinary one, the idea of embellishing the premises with the works of the great artist Mario Eremita was conceived. The art virtuoso then met the cooking virtuoso and the understanding was long-lasting and solid.

        giuseppe giordano and mario eremita patronage and art

        In 1990 Mario Eremita placed his sculptures and paintings in the premises of Treviso, in Piazza dei Signori and in Viale della Repubblica. So in 2015 he took care of the entire hall of the venue in Piazza Candiani in Mestre, in 2017 he artistically embellished the venue in Via dei Ponti Romani in Padua, in 2020 he expanded the 1990 intervention in Viale della Repubblica in Treviso. Overall, it is an artistic embellishment intervention of cyclopean dimensions which has given a noteworthy cultural impact to the already high quality of Giuseppe Giordano’s work. The entrepreneur has demonstrated a visionary ability that goes far beyond common sensitivity and in particular revolutionizes the stereotyped vision of the restaurant/pizzeria; he brought the small provincial cities of the Veneto closer to the large international metropolises where everything is possible.
