Underdogstudio presents HORSE Latitudes, double staff and Jacopo Casadei Rudy Cremonini.

The artists will exhibit two paintings unprecedented large, specially built for the event in a series of joint working sessions directly inside the cramped dell'Underdogstudio.

Along with a small selection of smaller jobs, the two works on opposite walls facing each other, led to dialogue in an exchange that includes cross the viewer's gaze into the very fabric of the paintings.

ancient HORSE the term Latitudes (the horse latitudes ) indicated an area of \u200b\u200bthe southern Atlantic, just south of the equatorial calm waters, where winds were extremely weak, contradictory and variable directions. For craft of that time was a band very difficult to overcome and often required prolonged periods of weeks.

Given the scarce supplies of drinking water that could take on board a sailing ship, the crew was forced at times to survive, to throw overboard the horses destined for certain death, but recovered so their ration of water.

This area of \u200b\u200bdramatic uncertainty and suspension of the time, place refers to intellectual and artistic creativity: the possibility of accidental opening full of suggestions, which Cremonini Casadei and cross their creative flow dislocating and then re-formulating the axioms of its staff pictorial alphabet.

Gian Ruggero Manzoni writes in the introductory text to the show: (...) today's visionary paintings (which were created and Casadei and Cremonini), to produce his "illusions" , built on the statue (a real) understood in this way: a complex figure that includes the same audience, moving around and inside the work, with his anxieties, his fears, his emotions, so that image and perception of the measure go to create the 'true' then we find in living (often frightening) that media give us daily ... because "horror and ghost is always the human nature," so that we do is to live with it, not scare us when we see their reflection in a mirror.
