The dirartecontemporanea|2.0 gallery is pleased to announce the opening in the network (www.dirartecontemporanea.eu) Wednesday, March 26, 2014 from 8:00 PM, of the solo exhibition”Natura Digitale”by Piero Chiariello.

"The exhibition consists of digital works, which combine photography, computer art and video art, it shows the artist's visual research conducted in recent years.

Chiariello investigating the matter of the image, fixed and moving, penetrating between the frames and the pixels and triggering processes brings out the digital nature in its possible manipulations”induced”and random ones.

Reveal another aspect of the”Digital Nature”the artist's words referred to the series of works that appears in the first room:

What's this? A malfunction? An error? For me it's the nature.

For some reason the path of electrons is deflected or modified, and the images we see are the result of spontaneous natural balance. >>

Static mosaics of video footage recorded by Chiariello for the city give rise to a new vision: fragmented landscapes”motionless”in which coexist different space / time captured and crystallized in the flicker of reproduction.

From photographs and footage of everyday landscapes as works of art, originate prints and videos characterized by the expansion of the”lines”that make up the images. Bands, vertical or horizontal, which expands on the surface of open horizons in the visible, they hatch into facets of colours and in the squared elongated two-dimensional of the pixels maintaining the recognisability of the source is revealed in all its complexity. The artist in his digital experimentation continues and updates the research on perception, and consequently on the configuration of the existing, impressionist and cubist and crosses the pixels and glitch art as surveys conducted on the development of textures minimimalist of the image.”(Veronica D’Auria) to accompany the viewer in the expositive path there are two critical texts, of the exhibition's curator Veronica D'Auria and art critic Domenico Esposito.

Piero Chiariello. Born in 1972 in Torre del Greco (NA) where he lives and works. A multifaceted artist, experimenter, ranges among the most diverse genres ( painting, photography, music, video).

He studied architecture at the University of Naples”Federico II”and in 1989 he began to compose music, to paint and study art on his own. Since 1996 his interest in chemistry and physics led him to experiment the interaction between chemicals and natural, liquid and solid, with electricity and sound waves. Thanks to photography captures moments of these experiments in which the music, changing colours and forms of the substances, shapes matter becoming an instrument of painting and sculpture.

Since 2001 he started his research related to digital sound with a series of works entitled”Waves”in which crystallizes images of an oscilloscope showing in a single glance the temporal flow of the music.

In 2006 he began to devote himself to the project”Linee”in order to investigate the perception and interpretation of reality through the entrance and the magnification of the”tangles of the visible”(L. Strangis ). From photographs taken by him, he selects bands of the image, vertical or horizontal, which expands to cover the entire surface.

From this research will also be born his audio-visual works that inserting the time element will show the motility of the elements that constitute the image”fixed".

Recently, he has dedicated himself to continue a research undertaken in 2005: images born from the accidental interruption of the video stream in which different visual and temporal fragments are found to form a single jagged landscape.

He has participated in important exhibitions at prestigious exhibition spaces among which we quote”CAM - Casoria Contemporary Art Museum”Casoria (NA ), “White Box Museum", Beijing ;”March Foundation, “Padova”MAV Museum, “Ercolano”MACRO - The Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome, “Rome”MUBA - MuseuBelasArtes”San Paulo, Brazil ;”PAN- Arts Palace of Naples”Naples Gallery”Il ritrovo di Rob Shazar, “Sant'Agata de 'Goti (BN ).
