premise

The associated artists of CAOS propose themselves for the design and creation of celebratory and commemorative monuments. The theme is the result of consultation with the client and an in-depth philological examination aimed at identifying the formal, symbolic, allegorical and content charactheristics of the work.

The predilection for figurative themes, which therefore give centrality to the human figure, does not preclude the possibility of abstract creations, in particular thanks to the collaboration with the architect-artist Michelangelo Eremita who developed this particular genre of formalism.

About the appropriateness of art in everyday life

In history, beauty is a relative aesthetic attribute or value, linked to human civilizations in their evolution. It is not an absolute value.

In art, beauty underlies the artist’s ability to build a coherent system of abstract meanings, concepts and values and also underlies the ability to transmit them intact and with extreme synthesis and effectiveness such as to directly reach those who are able to grasp them.

Art does not need to be explained, it does not need to be translated or interpreted; art can be read, understood, welcomed, loved; but in it, beauty is an absolute value.

Art does not transmit subjective values, it is not ethical; it refers to basic and fundamental, mysterious rules, linked to illusion, lies, dreams, perhaps to our ancestral fears.

For this reason, beautiful expressions of art contain messages that can be grasped at any time and everywhere, assuming traits of absoluteness or giving the illusion of it.

The questions we must ask ourselves and ask our children today are the following:
“how much art knowledge is there in us?”;
“how much of this knowledge is at the service of mankind?”

A real reflection is needed on the need to conquer a human society based on knowledge ad art; therefore an objectively beautiful society.

Attention towards art from early age must be cultivated in our children. We must take children to museums, to art galleries, we must demand that schools provide teachers od Art History and not just Drawing; we must expect these teachers to transmit a love for art.

Understanding art means knowing how to see and knowing how to see is a difficult goal to achieve; sometimes one life is not enough. We must therefore show the way to young people so that they can choose.

Hypotheses and projects for a renaissance of the arts

Today, not only Religious Institutions of Private Collectors but also and perhaps above all, Public Administrators, play an important function in developing people’s sensitivity towards art. They have the possibility of mending a huge fracture that has been created between the people and contemporary art since the 20th century.

Art must return close to people to lay the foundations for its rebirth. In the planning of master plans, residential areas and in the future redesign of the disheartening industrial areas, recently discouraged by natural disasters, we must return to placing man and humanity at the center and this also passes through careful research and selection of artists capable of carrying out artworks that make the community cohesive. Artworks around which the human community can rally, exactly as happened in our Renaissance with the contribution of the Church but also of enlightened and aware Dominants, such as Federico Da Montefeltro os Sigismondo Malatesta or Lorenzo Dei Medici.

Such work has strong political underpinnings; whoever wants to take in this pleasant and exciting responsibility will get the history. Whoever is able to enrich the community with what is created for it and not what is built for a claimed honor to the “art” itself will have created a thousand possibilities for his fellow citizens.

In these pages we wanted to present some sketches of great artworks for the sole purpose of giving an idea of the possibilities offered by the imagination of the artist Mario Eremita and the architect-artist Michelangelo Eremita.

Wild Horses

Here is the sketch for the “Wild Horses” sculpture. It is a bronze sculpture in which Murano glass elements are inserted. The horses are suspended in this bronze and glass frame which in turn represents the tree of life.

The horses trot on the branches of the tree of life which also seem to resemble the waves of the sea. It is an idea of very strong dynamism and great brightness that creates a positive, encouraging, stimulating, climate, favorable to sociality, conviviality and optimism, trust and an idea of progress accompained by development.

The artworks of authentic artists are always linked to the human community that appreciates them and makes part of the references of everyday life. When things are like this, the foundations have been laid for a comparison with history, with time and with the possibility of social and cultural development of a community.

    Artwork presentation

    The sculpture was made with pine wood iron and silver. It represents the Nike’s winged head, wings are in the manner of Mercury, they protrude from the sides of the skull and are made with Campagnolo hubs and silver wire, the bust and shoulders of the figure are idealized like newspaper sheets and made with hand-beaten silver plate. The whole is of the highest level of refinement and stylistic value well beyond the classic rhetoric of the trophy but firmly positioned in the field of the most authentic artistic sculpture.
