Description of the digital artwork:

The famous work by Cesare Catania entitled “The man che Non Vede ”(2013) is presented in this B version in an almost unique reality. The scene, set in a future space and time, seems to be shot by an analog video camera from the past.

The Oxymorons of Art

Strong visual oxymoron, amplified by sonic dissonances that symbolize a timeless artistic inspiration.
The work of art in this B and digital version is represented by the artist through a white color that blends with the rest of the scene, as opposed to the A Version in whose red and yellow became the protagonists of the scene. The concepts underlying the A Version are taken up again in this second digital version: inspired by reflections on the condition of mankind, “The man who does not see” is represented by the blindfolded author.

The sense of “Smallness”

Man is immersed in society surrounding him with blindfolded eyes. Sometimes he tries to “take a breath of oxygen” as does a man immersed in water trying to emerge. While previously the bright colors focused attention on the centrality of the human race (the “cheerful and bright” yellow tones symbolized a context of “golden cage”, expression of a society that appears serene and happy when viewed “with a blindfold”) now, in a future that projects us towards the universe and towards infinity, the “pale and anonymous” white further reduces human uniqueness compared to the space that surrounds it.

L'uomo che non Vede - immagine Full - Scultura di arte contemporanea dell'artista italiano Cesare Catania

In particular, in The Man Who Does Not See A Version (2013), the author is inspired by reflections on mankind. Humanity is blindfolded in the face of the society that surrounds it, in the face of the game that companies and multinationals impose on us. Man sometimes tries to "take a breath of oxygen" as does a man immersed in water trying to emerge. The “cheerful and bright” shades of yellow symbolize a context of “golden cage”, an expression of a society that appears serene and happy when viewed “with a blindfold”.

Materials: tradition and technology

The first original edition of "The Man Who Does Not See" - A Version (2013) is made with plaster and acrylic.

Passion for Colors

Contrary to the B Version, the physical version of The Man Who Does Not See A Version (2013) and subsequent copies are characterized by the use of strong and bright chromatic tones, colors that pass from yellow to red in an explosion of energy.
