ANTONIO NATALE - THE ARTIST OF BANKNOTES
The essence of the Art of Antonio Natale is an invitation to an internal as well as an external voyage.
Through the stories he tells, the Artist opens a secret doorway to an enchanted universe and invites the beholder to discover a thousand messages through a game of light and transparence mixed with tenderness and sarcasm. His messages are those of silenced people, the oppressed, the weak and the forgotten. They are also poems expressed through the eyes of love and internal beauty.
Antonio Natale has chosen out of circulation banknotes from the world over to express his views and feelings, his revolt in the face of injustice and his acclamation for life and for hope. He takes the spectator on a voyage thought the ages, countries and their diversity with the banknotes he uses to create. Thus, changing the significance of his support, for not only he restores the lost value of the banknotes, but he also unifies the people of the world throughout the ages under the unique banner of Art. He therefore expresses the fact that we face the same battle and the same hurts and invites us to introspect, and reflect on human condition. It’s an ode to LOVE, an S.O.S, he sends to the world.
