In order to depict the dynamic of the actual social scenario. Lapo Simeoni, through an alchemic process of transmutation, defines, in this way, a new syntactic interrelation between the selected iconic “objects”. Producing a reappropriation. A rewriting. Defining a lucid vision. What emerges is a “fresco” of the social conflicts. The friction within the “social body”. The vivid contradictions. The themes, taken under observation, include the problematic of borders. Assumed as symbolic figure of research and discussion. The limen between individuals, classes and politic configurations. A new scene is therefore represented without mystifications. A vivid, and cruel snapshot of the nowaday reality. A formal tract, that unifies the painting and installative practice of “The Illusion of the perfect century”, is the orange flu painting. A visual attractor that reinforces the process of individuation. A new perspective rushes to the surface of the communal acceptance of the facts. Defining the obscene and peremptory illusion of the perfect century. Fabio Campagna Berlin, 2014 BIO Born in Orbetello, Grosseto in 1979. Studied at theSaint Martins school in London, where he completedthe Foundation Course in Art and Design in 2002. From the outset he has worked in a broad range of expressive media, from mural painting to photography and the creation of painting-installations, a hallmark of his work. He also shows a profound sensitività to the use of different materials, including steel, plexiglas and recycled materials, alongside light installations. Simeoni describes the basic themes of his artistic research as follows: the effects of globalized consumerism, symbols and stereotypes of Italian history. In 2008 he won the international MOVIN’ UP project, organized by the GAI organization, holding his first double personal exhibition in Beijing (China), curated by Filippo Salviati. In 2009 he organized and participated in the exhibition 7 ITALIAN VISION in Basel during Art|40|Basel (Swiss).
