BIOGRAFIA Carlo Pecorelli,sposato, con due figlie, vive e lavora a Jesolo Venezia . Qui, dal mare, luogo dove l’artista periodicamente si genera e si rigenera, egli attinge, cerca, sceglie, prende e toglie materia che diventa poi arte. La sua pittura rompe gli schemi precostituiti, non ci sono regole. I colori gli appartengono ed egli ama incasellarli dentro linee, forme geometriche e simboli che li esaltano e li rendono unici, irripetibili. È un mondo che non ama molto, quello che l’artista rappresenta nei suoi quadri. Lo accetta, però, con coerenza e schiettezza oppure lo combatte, a volte da crociato, a volte da Don Chisciotte. Lo affascina, forse per lo stretto legame che ha Jesolo, Venezia, con i suoi squarci tipici, i suoi campielli, le sue calli, le sue maschere. Le maschere, in particolare, sono usate dall’artista come elemento rappresentativo non solo della città d’acqua ma anche degli stati d’animo dell’uomo, maschere che lui stesso crea prevalentemente in ceramica. La superficialità, l’artificiosità completano, come due parti di un intero, la naturalità e semplicità del mondo. Non sempre corrispondono, spesso si sovrappongono, l’una a discapito dell’altra, similmente all’incostante vita dell’artista, fatta di periodi intensi nei quali trasferisce la sua energia sulla tela e momenti bui e grigi. All'apparenza estroverso, Carlo Pecorelli è in realtà chiuso e schivo quando deve esporsi al pubblico. Ha tenuto numerose mostre personali in Italia e all'Estero. Gabriella Babuin
Biography
Born 1967 in Gorizia, married with two daughters, Carlo Pecorelli lives and works in Jesolo (Venezia). This is right the place where he periodically can regenerate himself, as he can draw, look for, choose and take subject matter from the sea and transform it then into art.
His painting is outside the pre-constituted patterns, there are no rules.
Colours belong to him and he loves capturing them within lines, geometrical shapes and symbols that exalt them and make them unique and unrepeatable.
The world represented by the artist in his pictures is actually one that he doesn’t love so much, but he accepts it anyway, with coherence and frankness, or he fights against it, sometimes as a crusader, sometimes as a Don Quixote.
He is fascinated by Venice, maybe for its close relationship to Jesolo. He is attracted by its typical “foreshortenings”, its “campielli”, its “calli” , its masks. Masks are used by the artist in particular, as representative elements not only for the ‘city of water” but for man’s moods as well, masks that he himself creates with clay.
As they were two parts of a whole, world’s superficiality and artfulness on one side are completing its naturalness and simplicity on the other side.
They do not always match, they often overlap, the ones to the detriment of the others, in the same way as in the artist’s inconstant life, made of intense periods, during which he transfers his energy onto canvas, as well as of dark and grey periods.
Apparently extrovert, Carlo Pecorelli is actually reserved and retiring when he has to deal with a public.
