Memento
by Ian Quirante

May 7 to 30, 2010

“Memento,” Ian Quirante’s new one-man show, once again dips into and ruminates through the artist’s surreal world, dripping with text, arcane computations, body parts, among others. Set against the hallucinatory blue of the dream world, identifiable structures emerge such as a palace and a watch tower as opposed to the amorphous pieces of architecture, present in his previous exhibits, that point toward mechanized production. Here, the surreal elements are not so much as manufactured as issuing forth with their menacing intelligence, spilling onto and speckling the background, complicating the surface, as if to say that the world of imagination is a world of codes, puzzles and impossble entries. As recurrent vision, Quirante’s works prove that the artist has found a key into his own private universe, entering and exiting with ease, leaving the viewer with a kind of map or a snapshot to his exquisite derangements.
