Loud, shrill and extreme – this is how the 80s are presented in the media. Fabio Moro devotes himself to the decade of his youth and embarks on an artistic search for traces. It leads him through the world of cinema, series, music, books and magazines. “Metaphisique retro” is what Fabio Moro calls his artistic flashbacks to the eighties.
Fabio Moro is committed to naive art. In the solo show “Out of the Dream”, the artist devotes himself to the idols of his childhood, the garish figures of the 80s, and takes their existence into another dimension. What about Duracell rabbits, Freddy Krueger, Barbie and Ken today? Today, when there are 80s parties in every club and the extreme styles of the 80s are always “en vogue” in fashion, the journey into the past is particularly interesting.
Moro brings his protagonists back to life with oil paints on canvas. It is a painting process that, in its slowness, leaves enough time for memories. With bright colors, childlike motifs and an unmistakable irony, he brings the stars and starlets of the wild eighties into the here and now. “What has become of the idols?” is the question that everything revolves around. Fabio Moro’s pictures show that they are definitely no longer what they used to be.
