The Circus, Sergio Moscona

Paris From April 30, 2019 to May 24, 2019

Presentation
The exhibition "The Circus" presents the unpublished works of the Argentinian painter Sergio Moscona realized in 2017-2018. Through this theme, the artist explores the human comedy in colorful sculptures, paintings and drawings. “Sergio Moscona uses the circus, a bittersweet fable, as a pretext to exacerbate human characters and push his exploration further. In fact, each new theme tackled initiates a set of plastic research which opens up new formal avenues and explores socio-political issues dear to the artist. In the series dedicated to the circus, the landmarks change. The color is triumphant! The blues explode, the yellows radiate, the reds shimmer. Sergio Moscona would he have found "his" color? He also produces a series of “negatives” where the black background dominates and where the white line brings the work out of chaos in a balancing act. Because the circus is excess. It accentuates the theatrical dimension of characters encamped in a new setting, adorned with colorful costumes, flanked by flaming lions and exotic animals. He questions reality with more force and vehemence and does not fail to question the viewer on the place of animals in this popular entertainment. He represents life there like a joyous tussle and reveals the tragicomic aspect of existence. Pushing beings to their limits, whether they are men or animals, the work relates an intense and burlesque chaos where everyone rubs shoulders without really understanding each other. Despite the incommunicability that reigns between people, living together always wins out. Everywhere hands appear, stretch out and cling as if to reassure themselves. The animal is there the faithful companion of man. Silent and disillusioned observer, like the artist facing his contemporaries, he is also present to remind men of their madness and their own animality. »Claire Corcia, October 2018, in the catalog of the exhibition" Le Cirque ".
