COMUNICARTE - " Insider "

Is Alessandro Bavari a visionary? A madman? An ascetic? None of all this....he's a fortune-teller, a seer able to read between the lines of old sacred and mythological text-books aiming to discover the being of man and his interior world. He seems quite able to fully understand the anguishes, the perturbations and the joys each of us has. His is an ability belonging to the prophetic world.
Emulating the antique Druids, whose presence floats like a thin foggy carpet in all his works just like a large swarm of characters and allusions taken from mythology, Alessandro Bavari accomplishes with his silicon made instrument, precious and disquieting allegories that seem to portray and crystallize in the impersonal theca of a monitor, shocking moments of our life. Old gods, sirens and sylphs, nynphs and satyrs now live Sodoma, plunged into a silent and misty limbo, then Gomorra, deserted and sinking after God's punishment which has saved only Lot.
The usage of the most varied expressive techniques, from painting to photography and, most of all to computered graphics, give his works an imaginative power which hints to eternity and which challenges our blindest obsessions.
The fear for death, the millenary musing about the frailty of man's existence, hope and promise of life after death, faith in a scarcely believable resurrection of bodies and souls. In short, all the most arduous problems man had to face during history, giving answers to his existensialist questions sometimes by philosophical dissertations, other times with simple actions suggested by religious faith, are expressed in the enigmatic and parallel world evocated by Alessandro's inquiring spirit.
His message calls back values and intuitions crossing and transcending the human nature regarded as individuality, solipsism, solitude, to reach interior worlds belonging to the sphere of our "collective unconsciousness". Bavari speaks about our soul, greedily rediscovering the humanity that joins and unites us notwithstanding our differences; he boosts silent anathemas and disrespectful "excommunications" against human credulity, against his myths as a possibility to break the chains of phisicity.
His target, anyhow, is not a nihilistic attempt to get aware of his own inadequacy; Alessandro Bavari is the minister of a new religion, a renewed paganism that sustitutes the evanescent promises of dogmatic fanaticism with a firm and absolutely earthly certainty. Art is the new divinity, the instrument or rather the tool which accertains its own immortality to the soul.
