Artist's signature on front and back; with Certificate of Authenticity from the artist GOVANNI GRECO was born in Catania, a city where he lives and works. After unfinished studies in biology and further exploration of artistic studies, he enrolled at the Scuola del Nudi in Catania and in 1980 began his painting activity, starting simultaneously from the Magritte-like example and later the De Chirico one where it was possible to resolve two apparently contradictory layers, dream and objective reality, in a sort of absolute reality. At the base of his research is a strong drive aimed at solving the great dilemmas of existence and the relationship between self and world, trying to interpret “thought” sometimes as irrefutable passages – the artist Giovanni Greco’s ineffable work as a means to cast a new light on the fundamental problems of which our mind ceases to free itself, staging visual blackmail, blackmail of the soul; further on he is drawn to metafysical painting and mainly to the works of G. De Chirico, not so much for stylistic choices as for the carried interest that is expressed in solid composition; objects, figures and even space become powerful masses given by dark, thick chromatic volumes in a context in which time seems halted and the subjects suspended between metafysical influence and neoclassical references drawn from past works shaken by time, in a world unknown. It is the world of the “éndonèxò”, a term coined by the artist – (éndon-éxò) where the gaze is clearly directed toward the self and inside things but at the same time makes his desire felt to make his painting felt closer to the lived experience of the observer, rising from the depths of the soul and gradually replacing, with new dark forces, the clear and simple spaces of reason.
