He
is considered as one of the up-and-coming artists in Italy. Tony Tedesco,
with the stubborn will to build a serious artistic path, thought to look
behind, to look at the dada world, on the one hand for the search of materials
and for the genuine and creative novelty of the shapes and, on the other,
for the scientific nature of the “dimensionless” world, that is the new
experience the artist originated. Dimensionless does not mean shapeless,
rather it refers to a use of the shape in a broader sense and beyond geometric
canons.
Tedesco began to spread
his works in Italy and abroad in the early eighties, following in chaos
the golden rule that supports the whole world. In 1989 Tedesco launched
the Visual Dimensionless Movement (MAV) after using shapes disassembled
in a surreal way. He studied at the Scuola Superiore d'Arte at the Castello
Sforzesco and attended the Accademia di Brera. However, his new spatial
world, his research that was also based on the mathematical theory of randon
fractals, opened him a new vision, a new way of interpreting things and
the world in painting, and of giving a meaning to new things in an extremely
beautiful chromatic game, that is using an electric blue, an opposition
of colours like yellow on blue, rose on green, red on red and light blue
on light blue, and so on.
And there also is some sort
of styling, a tension already carved in the use of papier-mâché
up to the most modern methods such as, for instance, the use of sundry
containers, or eucalyptus lance-shaped leaves.
His work attracted the attention
of many critics and artists, and his works are now also shown in public
museums, such as the Museo Alternativo Remo Brindisi or the Museo di Gallarate.
Tedesco has been exploring
the world of art in all these years, from pataphysics to dada to mental
processes that today tell and are told in his works.
It is as if art got free
from style and exercise to be defined more as the world memory, more as
fairy tale, as well as science and prophecy.
