The exhibition of the TTzoi collective of the artists Stefano Forgione and Pino Rossi is open at the Amphitheater of Santa Maria Capua Vetere. The use of flours and natural pigments on jute
from Elena Scarici
The appointment with informal art steeped in ancient history makes a stop in the Campanian Amphitheater of Santa Maria Capua Vetere, where the exhibition “Genius Loci”, an inclusion between ancient and contemporary of the TTozoi association, pseudonym, was inaugurated with a large audience of the artists from Avellino, Stefano Forgione and Pino Rossi. The exhibition, which is part of the European Heritage Days, will remain open for a month.
Passionate about ancient history, the two artists, born in ’69 and ’72, have the extraordinary ability to generate life on canvas. Hence the stage name TTozoi, which derives from that of spermatozoa, the female part instead the canvas. Their mission is to create informal art and transform it into works, starting from ancient history and the life that was lived in archaeological sites. Here the TTozoa exploit the natural proliferation of molds on jute through the use of flours and natural pigments that they lay on the canvases placed in closed cases. Climate, weather, humidity and, why not, chance do the rest. The result of our works – Stefano and Pino explain – belongs to the biology of the place and also depends on the time spent in historical sites, where we let the natural molds on the frames become a pulsating shape and image. A form that we can initially only hypothesize but never really estimate with certainty. Feeding only on the organic part, the spores will interact with the work according to an unknown, apparently chaotic pattern governed by the laws of nature and by our hands.
But nothing happens by chance because the TTozoi decide, with method and discipline, when to stop the process. And here then is the play of colors and light that blend over time between the ancient charm of history and the creativity of contemporary art. Art that is already the protagonist in the ancient Campanian Amphitheater, where the canvases were placed by the artists under the curious gaze of visitors at the end of August. Time and nature did the rest.
