Biography
Categorizing Logovarda is complex but above all useless. Art brut? Singular art? Without doubt, but very reductive. Expressionist. Yes, without doubt, but beyond that. In Logovarda, what immediately strikes one is this visceral desire to seek, understand and stage this scriptural perception of our human nature. This totally labyrinthine work is the very meaning of Desire. Desire to cross the thicknesses of our gaze, of our capacities to cross the River. We must become a ferryman with him, follow Ariadne's thread, even if it means getting lost.
Logovarda's work impresses, in the physical, almost anatomical sense of the term, both by the strength of the "writing" and by his offbeat and humorous way of staging these disjointed, stretched characters, real puppets that life plays out. Yes, the artist's often painful labyrinths plunge us into the power of the myth, immerse us in it. There is a form of powerful expressionism that draws on the very ancient narratives of Man and carries us away.
