GOVANNI GRECO born in Catania, a city where he lives and works. After incomplete studies in biology and furthering artistic studies, he enrolled at the Scuola del Nudi in Catania and in 1980 began his painting activity, starting simultaneously from the Magritte-inspired example and later De Chirico-inspired works where it was possible to resolve two seemingly contradictory layers, the dream and objective reality, in a sort of absolute reality.
At the base of his research, a strong drive aimed at solving the great dilemmas of existence and the relationship between the self and the world, seeking to interpret the “thought”—sometimes incontrovertible passages—the artist Giovanni Greco’s ineffable work as a means to cast in a new light the fundamental problems of which our mind does not cease to liberate itself, staging visual coercions, coercions of the soul; later he is drawn to metaphysical painting and mainly to the works of G. De Chirico not so much for stylistic choices but for the depth of interest that is expressed in a solid compositional strength; objects, figures and even space become powerful masses given by the dark, velvety chromatic volumes in a context where time seems halted and the subjects suspended between the metaphysical influence and neoclassical echoes drawn from past works shaken by time, in an unknown world.
It is the world of the “èndonèxò,” a term coined by the artist – (éndon-éxò) where the gaze is clearly directed toward itself and into things but at the same time conveys his desire to make his painting feel closer to the viewer’s lived experience, rising from the depths of the soul and gradually replacing, with new dark forces, the clear and simple spaces of reason.
