Franco Catapane sets himself in a free and natural way, I would even say experimental, towards art and above all acrylic painting, a technique in which he succeeds in an excellent way. His expressive freedom and continuous research allow him to face painting with modernity, with flair and without limits. His works, incisive, eccentric but refined, are the point of aggregation that allows thoughts, culture and technique to become style and to melt into the melodious quiet of art, in a kind of lightness, guided by the mind, which moves from the hands and reaches the user as perfect and sumptuous creations. Catapane expresses a poetic force that enlivens the canvases, its innate creativity manages to blend sensitivity and emotional charge, giving life to compositions of great charm both from an aesthetic and an emotional point of view. They are works wrapped in a suspended dimension, dreamlike visions that transport us to a world of life metaphors offering ideas for reflections of lyrical breath and enriching the mind of the user of new cognitive experiences. With great stylistic elegance the artist brings to the stage a sign synthesis enriched by an excellent use of color. He thus manages to transport stories, subjects, symbolisms in works that reflect and confront the outside world in a perfect combination of reality and dream. Here each element is charged with new meanings through an art that becomes a means to transform ideas into images through a completely personal language full of lyrical and emotional essence. They are works that are born of the deepest self, they are thoughts aimed at communicating universal messages supported by an eloquent and clearly expressive palette. I believe that Catapane has fully grasped the function of art, it is a journey into the depths of sensations, into the intimacy of the soul and it is only the skill of a valid artist who manages to materialize these feelings allowing the user to preserve them over time and in memory. A sincere applause therefore to the Master Catapane who offers us surreal dreams of great value.
