Acrylic, wax pastels and posters on canvas.
Fish, often depicted in shoals, are one of the iconic subjects in the production of contemporary artist YuX, who presents us with a colourful world full of movement, where nature is mixed with metropolitan signs such as poster parts and slogans. The typical large eyes and caricatured expressions make these little fish sympathetic to the beholder. In addition, each little fish seems to follow a flow, a pattern and each is characterised by different signs and tones, like their personalities. Another original element is the technique with which the work was executed, which involves the use of not only acrylic colours, but also wax crayons and posters, magazines.
The work is signed on the back and bottom right.
1970 , Italy
YuX, Pierugo Giorgini, was born in 1970. He’s an artist with a multifaceted personality, who paints and immortalizes life in fanciful forms and shades with a colorful palette taken from exotic journeys. YuX has graduated first in an artistic high school in Pordenone in 1988, then at the Istituto Europeo di Design in 1992.
He has begun his artistic path in the early nineties. His art is like an intense dialogue with the subjects he paints and comes to life through brushstrokes of acrylic, traits of crayons, shreds of posters, pieces of wood and other recycled materials glued to the canvas.
His technique dresses every artwork with a street-urban context to which YuX belongs to. Every artwork is made by an arrangement of symbolic elements that define the features of the figures but leave them free to express themselves as if they were suspended in the wind of what they communicate. His passion for comics, his studies as an advertisement graphic designer, his continuous research and experimentation, his attention to the greatest Art’s masterpieces have led him to cultivate a personal interpretative ideology and a well recognized personal style that YuX likes to define “Pop Expressionism” This artistic itinerary keeps on evolving and cohabits with contemporary events, it embodies a life suspended between real and abstract in which colors, lines, expressions and movements have a single common denominator: the irony of the Grotesque.
YuX is a face that multiplies itself in innumerable facets, where every face is a character and every character is the mask of itself. While everybody else is watching !!! Today YuX lives and works in Milan. He keeps on divulging his own artistic message through various "not-conventional" show-events.
