Fabric of Time
"painting is entangled with human existence, a form of visual poetry that encapsulates humanity"
Gino uses oil paint and canvas to reflect the imperfections and psychological variables present in the human condition. In his paintings for the exhibition "Fabric of Time" Gino attempts to express these. Gino communicates the meaning of life, and the narrative of truth populated by human societies to define civilisation. Each Society is formed through the neutralising of discourse creating both camouflage and weapon and singular realities. Facilitating constructed truth allied to modes off behaviour. These are fractured perceptions of human experience relative to the differences conditioned by a culture.
The human experience conditioned by a society and it's culture is no longer remote, and can be projected via communication technologies. Many individuals seek personal truth using signals from social media. This constant never-ending signal has become a fusion of immediate voices, promoting hybrid truths, directly impacting norms of society. This leads to a change in human consciousness The human consciousness is saturated with both fact and misinformation, for the majority determining the difference between fact and fantasy may be unimportant. Formations of truth are commonly led by belief systems usually controlled by systems of power, science or religion. By observing these patterns, Gino reflects a multiple fractured world, presenting a myriad of personal beliefs, each truthful to those within the fold and opaque to others.
The first cave paintings show the human imperative to communicate through story telling. That imperative hasn't changed. Gino asks what will happen when human development is augmented for a rational world? Will the action to freely express, using a visually imaginative process become aesthetically simplified - perhaps redundant - repurposed to suit a decorative post AI world. Which by its very nature can only be totalitarian.
Goya and Rodin would say look for "truth" and Gino endeavours to do this. He asks "is the discovery of truth simply letting go of the construct that makes us who we are? If so, will it allow the human condition and experience to be more than simply a series of unitary human connections"
