Acrylic enamel, on canvas

Certificate of authenticity
GIOVANNI GRECO was born in Catania, a city where he lives and works. After unfinished studies in biology and further explorations of artistic studies, he enrolled at the Scuola del Nudi in Catania and in 1980 began his painting career, starting simultaneously from the Magrittean example and subsequently De Chirico, where it was possible to resolve two seemingly contradictory layers, dream and objective reality, in a sort of absolute reality.
At the base of his research lies a strong drive aimed at solving the great dilemmas of existence and the relationship between self and world, trying to interpret the “thought”—sometimes incontrovertible Passages—the work of the artist Giovanni Greco ineffable as a means to shed new light on the fundamental problems of which our mind never ceases to free itself, staging visual blackmail, the blackmail of the soul; further on he is drawn to metaphysical painting and mainly to the works of G. De Chirico not so much for stylistic choices as for the substantive interest expressed in a firm compositional stance; objects, figures and even space itself become powerful masses given by the dark, lush chromatic volumes in a context where time seems halted and the subjects suspended between metaphysical influence and neoclassical echoes drawn from works of the past, shaken by time, in an unknown world.
It is the world of the “êndonèxò,” a term coined by the artist – (éndon-éxò) where the gaze is clearly directed toward itself and into things but at the same time makes his desire felt to bring his painting closer to the viewer’s lived experience, ascending from the depths of the soul and gradually replacing, with new dark forces, the clear and simple spaces of reason.
