The Popular Workshop is proud to present Free Fall, a solo exhibition by Francesco Igory Deiana. The exhibition will run from September 27th to October 31, 2013. An opening reception will take place Friday September 27, 6-10 pm.
Francesco Igory Deiana was born in Milan, Italy and lives and works in San Francisco. Enabling a wide assortment of artistic mediums; ball point pen, spray paint, and photographic prints to name a few, Francesco’s practice is just as likely to manifest as a drawing, a painting, or a sculpture, often confusing the distinction between these forms. Pulling from a unique variety of found images, Francesco seems to create an archive in which there is no hierarchy between contemporary events and historical facts. Deiana actively uses landscape, portraiture, and iconography in an effort to conjure the detached and unsettling feeling of our fractured contemporary world.
Like the act of free falling, your letting yourself, your body, spirit, ego; you are letting it all go. Letting the pressure evaporate; context, reference, the art world, of what is going on in the world in general. The weight of the world, crushing so many of us from above, ignored, washed away, evaporated.
The point you just give in, you let go, this is the point I started to create again, I felt free, I felt “able”.
