to erosiaart Yes, art is related to politic in a double way. Governors, kings and tyranns have always chosen an art represenative for their power. An icon to identify an ideology or a religion or whatelse power. But also art can explain or denounce a status. There are many ways, even when you show your internal ghosts. Most ghosts are not personal, but a social fact. If you denunce a disease, most times you are denuncing a collective disease: this is politic for me. I personally try to be positive in my art, because I hope this can have a positive influence. The world is an ugly place too, but negativity creates negativity. There is a kind of fascination in toying with shit. It's incredible how many deaths or cruel facts can we watch in the news without noticing it. We believe it's quite normal. If we could see many good news too, this could help peolple to live better, to find a way out for troubles. Positive visions are politic too Or not? What do you believe? /matteo
