Presse text:
Naomi Devil is one of the highly talented young artists aged between 20 and 25.
She has been commuting between Stuttgart, Vienna and Budapest since her early childhood. Her artistic impulse gathered momentum by becoming familiar with different cultures during her travels and by her upbringing in the family. The series shown on the occasion of this exhibition can be regarded as the final product of this process.
Although her pictures could at first sight be classified as hyper realism, she defines her stile as realistic symbolism. She has created her own artistic vocabulary to express her feelings and her thoughts about life.
She may choose a model from the environment where ever she happens to be and take a photo that serves as a starting point when she works. She often chooses to paint a self portrait though, because of the lot of travelling.
In her opinion 'to have inspiration' is an inborn quality. 'I have never been talkative. I have rather a visual memory. When I'm asked a question, as a response a picture appears in my mind, before I can phrase my answer.' - she sais.
She lays great emphasis on the message that is transmitted by the picture. She is convinced that there is no sense in painting without a clear message. She is concerned about such topics as pollution, the greed for money, media manipulation, but she is interested in fashion, Federico Fellini's films, or even swing dance as well. She uses bright colors, like fluorescent pink or coral, to give accent to her message and to compete with the world of visual media.
In her opinion it is very important that she enjoys her own creative power and the relaxed easy-going state of mind during work. It is an exciting peace of mind that we can experience as well when we are observing her paintings.
Her sarcastic imagery provokes the mind to wonder and to think about. Sometimes it is the humor that dominates and is acknowledged with a smile of the observer. Every picture reveals an intelligent opinion. The artist's sincere, sophisticated and crazy style binds the audience for ever.
The exhibition presents paintings from the "Sells like Teen Spirit" series that was painted between 2005 and 2011.

METAVERS

The word 'metaverse' is a portmanteau combining the Greek prefix 'meta' (meaning 'beyond') and the last syllable of 'universe'. It is typically used to describe the concept of a future iteration of the internet, made up of persistent, shared, 3D virtual spaces linked into a perceived virtual universe. The Metaverse is an abstract reflection of our real world, a parallel virtual universe. The Metaverse is our collective online shared space, created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and physically persistent virtual space including the sum of all virtual worlds, augmented reality, and the internet.

The term was coined in Neal Stephenson's 1992 cyberpunk science fiction novel Snow Crash, where humans, as avatars, interact with each other and software agents, in a three-dimensional space that uses the metaphor of the real world.

Although the main characteristic feature of the cyberpunk science fiction literary genre is, that it describes a futurologist vision of the near future, nobody thought at the time, when the novel was written, that an unbelievably close future was concerned and the metaverse would become from science fiction vision to everyday reality within a decade.

The Metaverse would be a dreary place without the collaboration and participation of the creative class. There are, however, several very attractive features of this virtual world that call the attention even of the most elaborated minds and bind them to the computer screen.
1. There are no limits to the imagination. Whatever it is conceivable that can be realized in this virtual world.
In contrast to the asymmetrical media, such as radio or television, it is a symmetrical media. 2. Each user can be both the producer and the audience of the show, creator and recipient at the same time.
3. There is a wide range of possible interactions with objects and avatars in the scene through the mediator of the user, through his/her own avatar. A special scripting language enables the user to shape the objects and their interactively changing behaviors.
4. This technology brings the whole parallel universe onto a common denominator: the binary code that can be transmitted with the speed of light. The avatars coexist in the same virtual space and time. The international collaboration is independent of the different participants' location.
5. The notions of state, borders, nations, religions and political systems become obsolete and weightless abstractions.
These features open new perspectives for the avant-garde of the 21st century art scene.

Art Space Diabolus was founded 27th June 2007 in Second Life by the avatars Caravaggio Bonetto, Velazquez Bonetto and Josina Burgess. These avatars represent the following real persons in the virtual world in the same order: Naomi Devil, László Ördögh Diabolus and Jose den Burger. Art Space Diabolus has launched the Cybernetic Art Research Project (CARP) with the aim to explore innovative forms of expression within the metaverse. During the past four years the group has grown fast and at the moment consists of more than sixty members.

The team has developed a number of innovative forms of expression. The following list provides some examples: adaptive virtual architecture, interactive audio installation, complex script based cybernetic art, collaborative audiovisual improvisation, immersive online 4D cinema, worldwide collaborative studio technology.

The leading principle of the creative team is hyper-functionalism which can be considered as a counterpoint to hyper-formalism. 'Hyper-form follows hyper-function'- this is the motto of the CARP team. Their most important artistic means of expression is art-scripting, a specifically applied script language which they jokingly call '4 D virtual paint and brush'. The CARP team has published an online e-book series about the projects, exhibitions and shows they have realized in SL. Innovations are explained in these e-books with more detail.

Galleria GiaMaArt studio
Via Iadonisi, 14
82038 VITULANO (BN), ITALY

Saturday, 29th May at 7.30 p.m., the GiaMaArt studio art Gallery inaugurates the "TANGENT TRAITS" exhibition. The event, curated by Anna Lisa Ghirardi, presents works by sixteen different artists that have been linked to the GiaMaArt Gallery for the past years. These artists constitute the jewel in the crown of the gallery, a promotional centre for contemporary art, driven by its particular interest in new and young figurative painting. The art works presented in the exhibition, about forty in number, are tangents in the presented theme, all the paintings have in fact, the woman as their subject.

Witches have returned to the Benevento area but so have fairies!
Here every artist in fact, re-visits the woman using his/her own pictorial style and according to a particular poetical sensibility. The feminine panorama is vast and complex: from the woman as symbol of beauty and object of seduction, to the woman who observes the world from unusual perspectives; from the unknowing girl-child, to the elderly disillusioned woman; from the femme fatale, to the perplexed bride; from contemporary woman pulsating existence in a unanimous and empty urban context, to the rural woman from mythical times past; from the unaware and naive woman, to the woman penetrated by chaos and cleaved by the drama.

Body and psyche intertwine in intricate existences, united by the feminine gene but diversified by nature, age, experience, culture, ... crossed by dreams, hopes, temptations, projects, illusions, sufferings, ... in a panorama that shows joy and pain, pleasure and disenchantment.
An exhibition on being human more than just the woman, where the male is "iconographically" absent but inevitably present by reflex and "return".
Gianfranco Matarazzo, owner and artistic director of the gallery, with this collection puts the spot light yet again onto such artists that he sustains with strong conviction, promotes and encourages in their constant and unending artistic research.
