Biagio Civale

A Human Universe Biagio Civale

While color remains the final frontier, for this artist, his moving with the clouds, like in his woodcuts and linocuts, reflects his constant journey between light and dark. The artist, as a mystic rider, meets human beings and looks at them, sometime surprised and always respectful of the different ways of life. The artist's ability to sketch the human world is often overcome by abstraction, which is something intangible behind the life in physical bodies. Like earth, human beings live in an environment that includes moons, stars and an omnipresent landscape shaped by seasons and an extraordinary balance of light and darkness, good and evil, male and female, predatory and prey, matter and energy. The entire human experience is under the mystery of an unknowable essence, a divinity. Human life remains a mysterious, self-weaving tapestry. Images of human beings tend to convey some feeling, some content, some understanding, some purpose, some heart. Visiting these images, you can see the true personality of Biagio Civale and you may establish a real intimacy through this vehicle of communication.
