sister 2 Painting

Double and opposite In Constantin Migliorini's pictures the body is intersected by the psyche,the matter is filigreed by the mind and its ghosts. The anthropomorphic image splits in two and multiplies in a zoomorphic hall of mirrors. Perspective is achieved by making the tin-plated surface of the painting become a mirror which multiplies and deforms simultaneously and that opens the body surface wide onto the psychic dimension;there is no digging within the body matter, to make a hole in it, to torture it, applying to it one of those infinite and sadistic methods of agony to which art has accustomed us to. The soul may derive from the body lightening .The pictorial matter , the pigment, encrusts the body and makes it harden, while those lines that are as thin as threads do melt it, almost dematerializing it, giving it that flimsiness which is originally of the soul, flimsy like a breath. Earth and air, colour and line, heaviness and lightness. Constantin Migliorini's paintings, as if it were a gallery of ancestors in a Darwinian sense, archetypal animals which we carry inside and on our backs , readable between the lines , between the folds, the wrinkles of our faces and of our backs. Such a pompous parade of animality does not hide the tragedy of unconscious,uncontrollable Freudian bestiality. Constantin's art does not remind me of doctor Freud. It reminds me of fairy tales.In his poetical imagery little devils, wolves, rabbits and pigs come from the ethereal and fairy-like regions of the Orcs of our childhood. A childhood which is more indebted to Jacob and Wilhem Grimm's imagination than to Doctor Freud's perverse polymorphism. I discern something agreeably joyful here, slightly playful, because I am in the presence of ghosts' lightness. What is a ghost? Nothing but the ethereal projection of a matter which, in a chemical and psychoanalytical process of sublimation, turns into air. So this is Constantin Migliorini: he is a ghostbuster.
