A Passing Glance
While Pessoa became fully commited to discover the mysteries and fullpotential of the Mind,a new line of work was immediately manifesting as the ultimate connection between the artist’s increasing focus of his thought towards that mostly rewarding outcome and inevitably his art performance,imagination flow and visual expression. Antonio Pessoa’s Contemporary Fine Art,in its broadest meaning and intention,is the expression of a multiple conclusions process running through a cultural pluralism dominant attitude,a multiple references dancing about a rich diversity of contemporary heritage influences successfully adopting and thereby accomplishing an interesting cosmopolitan fusion going well beyond the ongoing art scene sphere by reaching new and higher levels,ideals and concepts through a Genesis or rebirth of traditional Fine Art only eclipsed by the twenty-first century’s multicultural latest tendencies. Pessoa’s indispensable role in the creation of this fresh artistic identity,is inspired,oriented and takes from his high-quality permanent changes systematically on the look out aiming at finding and applying easy digest aesthetic solutions,absolutely determined to make art with the capacity to reach the hearts of a worldwide public,powerfully expressing and successfully communicating the idea and philosophy “Art for People’s sake”.Lovely. On the whole,the idea or concept is the most important aspect of Pessoa’s latest Oeuvre,meaning that all the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory ( apparently spontaneous ) affair. Antonio Pessoa – Contemporary Fine Art is basically an attitude rather than a period or specific style.These exciting new combinations of colors,abstract images,collages,mixed medias,despite their openly designed abstract expressionism-neosurrealism scenario,succeed to create a general huge association of skillful choices,combining imagery of dreams,fantasies ans subconscious mind visions in Fine Art painting brought to an intimate relation to the new culture of cutting edge contemporary expression. This dimension stems from the creation of novelty from the existing variability in the various components of “Life and Art” either with regard to their sensorial structure or realistic function,where fiction surprisingly shows up as part of an almost cybernetic approach of consciousness and universal awareness.Charming and absolutely true. Antonio Pessoa’s World,or Art World,contemporary and beyond,is proving to have taken a gigantic jump into a rich and endless cosmos of suggestions,where unquestionably Imagination is here to go on playing the leading role!
Art Metaphors
Antonio Pessoa’s steady research and new visual concepts collecting,now boils down his whole creative universe into a rather interesting art production system.Enough nutrients for him to come forward through this new aesthetic philosophy,in order to deliver and provide us (and surprise us !) with his personal vision and techniques so that anyone can easily understand and effortlessly enjoy contemporary art expression without the need of immersing in the overwhelming depth of complex subjects and tiresome,ho-hum theoretical codes. Light,color,heat,electricity,magnetism,can be seen,tasted,smelled and most importantly,felt by the viewer before the artist’s latest artworks,easily perceiving the powerful waves and sensual impressions of the intensity projected by the world of motion and wonder of the whole idea reflected all over these new series. Art Metaphors! As an abstract contemporary painter,Pessoa’s current paintings explore his subjects’ interior lives as well as their physical selves,illustrating fascinating individual experiences and emotional forces,thereby illuminating the powerful bond between mind and public communication. The interesting relationship,as the heart and the living extension of his recent and ongoing art performance,reflects clearly the mood of its basic intentions,warm and energetic,friendly,impactful,with innovative subtle harmonies and highly communicative vivid complements. With this engaging and witty style,Antonio Pessoa’s art metaphors,guide viewers through the rewards of contemporary amazing new solutions and suggestions,and in so doing inevitably introduces us to a new world of delightfully fresh,warm and easy going outlook of Art. Keeping his eye on the horizon line,the artist successfully captures the mirage of shimmering subliminal messages in the panoramic possibilities of the spiritual space within and around us,comprehending our basic relationship to Universe through Art. Every new painting seems to have this magical capacity to make us enjoy while confront with a new situation,a new perspective with matching parallel realities,symbols of instant perception,new cultural values and approaches,thereby building a whole new exciting environment,an evenness of spiritual light when everything all of a sudden inevitably starts to make abstract perfect sense. Almost turning stereotypes into artistic strenghts,his visual ambiguity now far from being a transitional phase,is a rock-solid option,an art-express right now attitude aiming at generating an interactive artist-public relationship,definitely suggesting a time when Art can and must be all about honest and direct communication. In spite of his technical and archetypal Fine Art oriented Oeuvre,Pessoa’s whole idea almost succeeds to create an impressive walk-in mega installation universe of conceptual imagery where the viewer feels an immediate urgency to enter through the challenging swinging doors to an awesome space lighted by the one thousand and one bulbs of radiating illusion,infinite fiction,playful mystery and live communication art metaphors.
Two years after The New Era Antonio Pessoa ( www.thenewera-antoniopessoa.com ) the artist now comes up with a brand-new art collection Antonio Pessoa Contemporary Fine Art ( www.antoniopessoa-cfa.com ). Two awesome artistic periods have changed his style completely for good since the two Chicago exhibitions four years ago,The Romantic Period influences one way or another still pulling him aside from the great cutting edge contemporary art adventure. Fact is,there’s no doubt by now those days are gone for ever,no more walking in the middle road,now it’s The New Era,New Age,New Line,Contemporary Fine Art Times.Yes. Getting fully commited and emotionally involved in this colorful fascinating Art Sphere,the artist enters the contemporary Universe,leaving no loose ends of the past influences,however still wonderfully wrapped up,so to speak,in the traditional wall art Fine Art concept,as the Modern and Great Masters,at least for the time being. These two extremes now live together in perfect harmony,applying amazing innovating formulas while focusing in a heartfelt worldwide public communication,and in so doing conjuring up a brilliant full swing art expression new wave in the process. The first thing to consider is the fact that the artist at a certain point of his life actually took the best option by coming up with the best possible scenario to express the cutting edge possibilities of Contemporary Fine Art,like a logical law,like a spontaneous vision of what a cross between traditional “École des Beaux-Arts” and the latest contemporary tendencies should be all about. A New Line that explores new concepts,as well as the logical continuation according to the Modern Masters technical means . This amazing combination turned out to become a successful shortcut to a rather interesting and innovative artistic formula,beautifully equipped with the universal Fine Art criterion coexisting with futuristic models devoted to the development of the contemporary body-potential. On the threshold of futuristic contemporary art,the classical touch remains untouchable in the realm of the artist’s new line of work,where he delivers a rather magical visual hypnosis openly as the ultimate result of his ability to rise above the Great Masters Fine Art reputable techniques and art studio performance attitude,moving forward into the future,finding his way and updating his style and visual expression through the process of full commited invention,creativity ,systematic research and discovery! At last,this boosting systematic artistic research behavior,made possible for the artist to have mastered the ability to consistently display surprising visual expression achievements on a regular basis,namely during the past few years up to now,accelerating his Oeuvre towards exciting possibilities,thereby coming aboard the invention spaceship traveling at the speed of light across the cutting edge contemporary art universe.
