Exhibitions, Italy, Pescara, 19 May 2014
In the upper room of the restaurant Cala Bjanca in Pescara , will be present from 19 May to 20 July fifteen "characters" paintings created by the artist Alfonso Camplone . The characters of Camplone as " silent spectators " , fill the room without " invade " and " accompany " with their presence yet static participatory in the diner enjoy good food fish .
The paintings reveal themselves as an amiable presence of color, material and emotional " agreeing " with food wrap between the customer so multisensory smells, tastes and visual involvement , leading pleasantly and harmoniously the "time of the dinner ."
Food and art fantastic combination . If the food has always been an object of representation in art commonly understood, perhaps only recently stood out as part of the culture , the idea that the same do - food can be regarded as a way of making art . The do - as art creation , such as technical , aesthetic and magical at the same time ; expression of freedom. The cook like the painter can be considered an artist, if the artist is the one who " creates ," and create " proper objects " , which takes the relationship between food and art allows full fruition . Well known is how to eat and admire the work , are essentially cultural gestures that are good for the body and soul .
The partnership between the two queens arts : painting and cooking is nothing new for the painter , the fact that in Cala Bjanca you can enjoy fresh fish was particularly enticed the artist to exhibit his works of painting , because " from a family of sailors, boaters and fishermen, Alfonso Camplone has always had a strong bond with the sea . " In the years that he lived at Marina South in Pescara, the fish is eating in his memories as moments of aggregation, sharing with family and many friends who frequented his house " seaport " ... moments degustativi related to conviviality, tradition-bound and culture of a native seafood .
There is no doubt , in fact, that a profound food culture is a way to discover the customs of the places that we live, to learn in depth history and perhaps transmit the unique aspects of our tradition. The habit of eating fish is very old . Peoples of surfers such as Egyptians, Phoenicians and Carthaginians were consumers of fish , as well as Greeks, Etruscans and Romans who preserved in brine . Jews were permitted to eat fish with scales which wishes for fertility .
The habit of eating fish lasted throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance also thanks to the excellent ability to retain salt.
The fish, as well as food, in its symbolic , it was very important to a little ' everywhere in the world, as an object of worship , present in art, religion and culture of the people.
The ancients attributed to fish the privilege of knowing the spells that could heal the sterility of plant, animal and human . The cult of the fish as an image of the deity , which then identifies with it, is found two thousand years before Christ , in India, the Far East, in Egypt, and also in Mexico. Already in the first religions , the fish was a symbol of the Mother Goddess : the Celts it represented as an emblem of the female abdomen.
We find the fish in the frescoes of Egyptian tombs , the Roman mosaics of the imperial age , in both cases, still as a symbol of fertility and sexuality. For example, the dolphin was a symbol of the goddess Aphrodite . The fish are also present in Maya culture : the case of the talking fish .
With Christianity , you reach a mystical meaning : we remember the miracle of the loaves and fishes.
In painting the fish has always been depicted for his versatile symbology .
The importance and symbolic significance that the man gives the fish since ancient times as you can well see by looking at various forms of artistic representations .
Flemish art that depicts the fish in still lifes. Subject as widespread in the market and kitchen scenes between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries . , Especially to the whims arcimboldeschi and still lifes until the twentieth century . In Oriental , Chinese and Japanese , mostly sculptures .
Moving further to the west , and in more recent times , we find the fish in documentaries, books, stories , cartoons , logos and anything else ! Returning to the visual - taste , taste the food in Cala Bjanca becomes an authentic path of pleasure for the taste : nell'assaporare authentic dishes , from the traditional to the more unusual and eye : In order to behold those " colorful characters " that make us feel in good company with their " presence plastic "," carved into layered pictorial material as I could , because it leaps out ... the true story that lies beneath . "
Big thank you to the owners and the chef who enthusiastically have been involved and supportive to the realization of this small event.
