at Antonio Colombo Arte Contemporanea
Dario Maglionico operates a destabilization of the figurative language through the synchronic representation of elements that fragment the continuity of the visual narration. The simultaneous superimposition of people, places and objects within the home assumes, in fact, the quality of a partial and dynamic recording of different moments, which are fixed on the canvas, as residues of a diachronic narrative.
The title Everything At Once testifies this attention towards the subject of synchronicity, which Maglionico retrieves through the reading of Jung, the Swiss psychoanalyst who first addresses this concept, then examined in depth in the formulation of the acausal connecting principle, considering it “a coincidence, not infrequent, between subjective states and objective facts.”
Dominated by a feeling of estrangement and suspension, Maglionico's painting represents in figurative terms – that is, without ever resorting to the expedient of abstract synthesis – a liminal dimension where the inner reality of the emotional states intersects the exterior of the concrete forms, a kind of middle ground that suggests the physical theories about parallel worlds and David Deutsch's multiverse.
