My statement
|
|
Appealing to advertising symbols and language, fragmenting them, he builds his Painting. The new forms have an accentuated unconventional dynamic.
We are in front of an urban vocabulary, the novelty of which lays in evident sign/culture ratios; the Artist’s marketing devolving the city its discernment capability, allowing it to take a fresh look, having it free from the stereotyped images to which it is constantly submitted.
By this process, Noel Fignier provides an urbanity, the structure of which inevitably provokes an increasing agitation to the citizen.
In this perspective, is to be included the main thematic of a Coca-Culture of the City and of the Citizen.
From rigorous paintwork, this exigent Artist throws the colours with the mastering of what is surprising.
Rui Aço, Lisbon Portugal
