THE LITHOGRAPH DEPICTS A GROUP OF WOMEN ON AN OUTING, GATHERING FOR A PICNIC, THEY ARE WEARING LONG DRESSES AND HATS, SOME ARE STANDING, SOME ARE SITTING. PREPARATIONS ARE BEING MADE FOR THEIR CONVIVIAL OUTDOOR GATHERING. IT'S A CELEBRATION TO WOMEN'S FREEDOM, TO THE SOLIDARITY UNION BETWEEN WOMEN. CARMINE MERAVIGLIA HAS THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED IN HIS ARTISTIC JOURNEY THE FIGURE OF WOMAN. HIS PRECISE, REALISTIC, PLASTIC PORTRAITS, OFTEN PLACED IN SURREAL SETTINGS, SHOW LEVELS OF READING THAT ARE ALSO PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL: CARMINE MERAVIGLIA'S WOMEN ARE PORTRAYED ALONE, WAITING, MEDITATING, OR IN GROUPS, CHEERFUL, INTREPID, CONVIVIAL. HIS NARRATIVE OF WOMEN IN A CERTAIN SOCIAL CONTEXT IS NEVER BANAL AND OBVIOUS, IT IS A PASSIONATE AND TOTAL NARRATIVE. ALSO IN THIS GRAPHIC WORK THE SHARP CONTOURS OF THE FIGURES AMPLIFY THE PLASTICITY OF THE VOLUMES AND THE DEPTH OF THE CHIAROSCURO EFFECTS, GIVING THREE-DIMENSIONALITY AND SPATIALITY TO THE FIGURES. IT IS A RARE LIMITED-EDITION GRAPHIC WORK OF MODERN ART BY ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL AND ECLECTIC CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS OF THE NEAPOLITAN SCHOOL. CARMINE MERAVIGLIA, PABLO PICASSO WOULD SAY, IS ONE WHO "DOES NOT PAINT WHAT HE SEES, BUT WHAT HE FEELS, WHAT HE SAYS TO HIMSELF ABOUT WHAT HE HAS SEEN." IT IS NO COINCIDENCE THAT THE MASTERS HE LOOKS TO ARE DALÌ AND CARAVAGGIO. CARMINE MERAVIGLIA, AN ARTIST WITH A LOOSE AND DECISIVE BRUSHSTROKE, OBEYS WITH ELASTICITY HIS IMAGINATION, WHICH, TAKING ITS START FROM THOROUGH FORMAL PREMISES, UNFOLDS IN DISSONANT VARIATIONS THAT BREAK THE CONTINUITY OF EXPRESSIVE MODES. IRIDESCENCES, TRANSPARENCIES OF TONES, SYMBOLS, CHIMERAS PEEP OUT IN HIS PAINTINGS, FROM WHICH SPRING YELLOWS, ORANGES, GREENS, CHARGED BLUES, REDS, CARMINATES. AND AGAINST SUCH CHIMERICAL SCENERY, STAND UPRIGHT SILHOUETTED FIGURES LIKE POLYCHROME SCULPTURES CLOAKED IN FANTASTIC REDS OR BLUES. AN EMBLEMATIC FORM OF SURREALISM, NOT PROPERLY REFERABLE TO A SPECIFIC TYPE, AND THEREFORE DISTINCTLY PERSONAL. A PAINTER WHO CARRIES WITH HIM AN ENIGMATIC, PICTORIALLY EMBLEMATIC, SURREAL EMOTIONAL COMPONENT. A LIFE DEDICATED TO ART FROM THE AGE OF 8, THANKS TO WHICH HE LEARNED AND MASTERFULLY MADE ARTISTIC TECHNIQUES HIS OWN. CARMINE MERAVIGLIA IS A SURREALIST-FIGURATIVE-MATERIAL PAINTER AND SCULPTOR. TALENTED, COMPLETE, CHAMELEON-LIKE, ECLECTIC, CREATIVE, IMAGINATIVE AND ORIGINAL, ABLE TO RANGE WITH SUCCESS, AUTONOMY AND PERSONALITY IN DIFFERENT ARTISTIC FIELDS INCLUDING GRAPHIC DESIGN. HIS STYLISTIC SIGNATURE IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE PREPARATION AND USE OF COLORS; BY THE JUXTAPOSITION AND SMOOTH AND HARMONIOUS TRANSITION FROM ONE COLOR TO ANOTHER; BY THE FLUID, PERSONAL AND INNOVATIVE USE OF DRAPERY. HIS BRUSHSTROKES ARE FLUID AND SOFT. THE COLORS MAINLY USED IN HIS WORKS ARE RED, BLUE, YELLOW, ORANGE, LIGHT BLUE, PINK, VERONESE. HE OBTAINS THEM FROM THE PREPARATION OF PIGMENTS OR EARTHS (AS ARTISTS USED IN ANCIENT TIMES) AS THEY HAVE A MORE NATURAL AND HARMONIOUS EFFECT IN THE FLOWING AND SOFT, ALMOST IMPERCEPTIBLE TRANSITION FROM ONE COLOR TO ANOTHER. THE DRAPERIES DRAWN AND PAINTED IN A FLUID AND ORIGINAL WAY, REPRESENT TOGETHER WITH THE COLORS, THE MOVEMENT AND BECOMING OF THE EARTHLY AND SPIRITUAL SOUL. ALL THE WORKS CREATED BY MASTER CARMINE MERAVIGLIA, INCLUDING THE GRAPHIC ELABORATIONS, REPRESENT STORIES, THOUGHTS, IDEAS AND EMOTIONAL STATES THAT GO BEYOND APPEARANCE, GO THROUGH PAIN, THE FRAGILITY OF THE HUMAN AND SOCIETY. HAVE A BEGINNING, AN UNFOLDING, IN WHICH THEY FOLLOW A SYMBOLIC-ANALOGICAL-EMOTIONAL AND SOMETIMES EVEN LOGICAL-RATIONAL PATH, UNTIL THEY RESOLVE, AS IN A KIND OF CATHARSIS, INTO A POSITIVE, MULTIPLYING AND SAVING VISION OF LIFE AND THE FUTURE, IN WHICH THE VALUES OF LIFE PREVAIL: MOTHERHOOD, SOLIDARITY, BROTHERHOOD, RESPECT, HONESTY, HARMONY AND PEACE AMONG THE PEOPLES OF THE EARTH. THE MOST REPRESENTATIVE WORK OF CARMINE MERAVIGLIA'S ART IS UNDOUBTEDLY "MULTIPLYING GENESIS." A FRESCO CREATED FROM MARCH TO JUNE 2006, ON COMMISSION, ON FRESH PLASTER, MEASURING 9X3 METERS, ON THE ENTIRE FRONT WALL OF THE CONVENTION HALL OF THE "ANTONIO CARDARELLI" HOSPITAL IN CAMPOBASSO.
