Nero Gallery is pleased to host, from March 11th to April 22th, HIDDEN, the first solo exhibition in Rome of the artist P54.
P54's artistic research focuses on the soul, about loneliness and adversity of human or animal subjects, who are fighting against the clock that runs away and destroys.
The long path of fate crosses P54's works, filled with memories, fears, strong emotional values that are hidden through symbols and that we have to decipher.
"Life wants me dead": this quote by the artist encapsulates the meaning of his work. You always fight your destiny, against the inexorable passing of time, against loneliness, even against life itself, that many times is our enemy.
The symbolism and storytelling are a fundamental part of his work. Each work has its own story, often autobiographical, a hidden story that has to be reconstructed through symbols and atmospheres: keys and padlocks seen as questions and answers, flames that burn flesh to revive it, bandages that imprison and nails that hurt.
His works are full of symbols and pathos. His oils represent the pain and the transience of life. His drawings give a key to the fate. Animals are recurrent, like the snake, which symbolizes the cyclical nature of time and in the the energy of which lies the healing power from the evils. The rooster, however, is the rebirth, the resurgence of the beneficial forces. And the dog is conceived as a spiritual leader and symbol of fidelity.
P54's work is a constant struggle against ourselves and the life; the important thing is not to surrender.
Since the Zodiac is a very dear subject for the artist, Nero Gallery, during inauguration, will give the public the opportunity of a tarot card reading, thanks to the presence of a fortuneteller, Luigi Acunzo. The artist will also give space to his creativity in a live painting outside the gallery.
