Fabio Modica was born in Catania, Sicily, in 1978. During his academic years he was inspired by the classical Renaissance and Greek and Latin mythology. As a painter his first major subject was the human figure wrapped up in a Caravaggesque light, with oil paint as his favourite medium. His versatile spirit has encouraged him to incorporate different styles and mediums into his later works, which show a departure from the earlier representational style. Over time, Modica’s enduring realism has gradually yielded to the compelling drive for sheer lines and thick smudges of colour, which has ultimately led him towards a semi-abstracted texture. Modica has also grown a genuine passion for nude art, which has inspired a series of monochromatic paintings on the commodification of the human body and its spiritual decay entitled “Mercification”. Here, the absence of colour enables him to rely entirely on the force of his brushstroke and the gesture of scratching and carving the pictorial surface. Modica’s distinctive trait is seen in the ‘multi-layered coats of vibrant paint spread over a tortured canvas with vigorous spatula strokes.’ His most celebrated works are close-in portraits of female faces whose gaze pierces directly through the viewer. The meaning of everything is condensed in faces, especially in the eyes. Modica’s ‘faces’ shape fragments of memories, enigmatic moods and modernist “moments of being”. They have become part of two parallel series named “Gnosis” (i.e. ‘knowledge’ in Greek) and “Prisoners of Matter”, both internationally acclaimed since 2013. Modica believes that art is the most effective means to enhance self-awareness. The “Gnosis” series captures individuals experiencing a state of epiphany and self-revelation, which suddenly generates a truly eye-opening emotional experience. In the “Prisoners of Matter” series, the subjects are constrained within the material world, symbolised by the painting “matter”, in which Modica skilfully catches a brief instant of illumination. The artist currently lives and works in Catania.

Participating Artists
Ahhi Choi (Korea / Japan)
@ahhi_choi
Ahhi Choi was born in Hyogo Prefecture Japan in
1983. The curvilinear movement in the work of Ahhi
Choi is both buoyant and ecstatic, expressing the
innate sense of adventure the artist possesses. He
gained recognition after showing in New York in 2014 and has since exhibited internationally including in the United States, France, ltaly, Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong. Choi's work can be perceived as reflection of his subconscious mind. After studying in Los Angeles he traveled through the Western United States. During that trip, Choi explored the expansive network of National Parks, from Death Valley, the Grand Canyon to Yellowstone. It was during this stateside excursion that the artist developed an intimate bond with the grandeur and majesty of nature. Upon his return to his home city of Kobe, a malaise set in for Choi and it was the cramped and overcrowded lifestyle of urban Japan that was causing him to feel nostalgic. Taking the flashes of inspiration that the artist experienced in day-to-day life he began to take ink to paper forming an abstract diary of his adventures. Letting his hand move organically across the page, Choi would interpret the silhouettes, pictures, words and letters from the well
of his memory into energetic lines that are ubiquitous in throughout his work. In addition to painting, the artist has also extensively engaged in other artistic creations, including the design of shoes, fabrics, wine labels, cell phone cases and CD covers.

“Diversity for Peace!" is on view now at San Marco Square!
Karuizawa New Art Museum Which belongs to Whitestone Art Foundation met ten young promising artists from every corner of the world and organized their group show. It is obvious that each locality has their own tradition, cultural climate, and faith. However, what we are expecting from the visitors is to witness the identical difference of each artist, and to think over the reason why they are so beloved by local peoples, their popularity transgresses the border being accepted internationally, and what is the essence of this phenomenon.
