Federico Unia. The dilation of the eye

A reflection ironic and irreverent but together cultured and deep, result of a work of personal introspection and at the same time collective breath: these are some of the main figures of the work of Federico Unia, young guest artist of the non-profit project Banca ART SYSTEM.
"Federico Unia. The dilation of the eye "is the title of the anthology Show, - by Andrea B. Del Guercio, from 18 September to 31 December 2014 - which Banca Sistema welcomes in its headquarters in Corso Monforte in Milan. A path consists of 30 paintings made with a mixed technique between the 2010 and the 2014, some of which are from private collections.

The expressive path led by Federico Unia turned, in recent years, the overall condition of violence and humiliation experienced by people in Western society and in the poor countries of the third world, but it was also shown insistently attentive to the condition of the animal and the vegetable on the planet, and then make a symbolic contamination between these two areas.
Unia correctly identified and placed in the center of his analysis and his communication is not declared in the form and the specific act of violence, but the condition, il clima, the state of humiliation received after the devastation; so that each work responds to the state of prostration, of grief and grievance and perceived. The wealth of images processed and configured by Unia not respond to a process of citation passively stretch the system of journalistic communication, but is the result of a processing path and image manipulation in which painting, for technical and ancient history, will act with destabilizing. The first data that were observed need to be enhanced in value by the presence of important, lived in a direct, a first creative period spent within groups Milanese street art, come la Tdk Crew (first group of Milanese writers, with
in which 2007 dipinse a Los Angeles insieme ai CbS, in turn, the group's historic West Coast) o TheBagARtFactory (multifunctional lab-factory, basin more artistic energies): territories to experience strong, which led Unia to develop a visual communication that would combine aesthetic quality and intensity of perception, that you had to characterize solutions through expressive able to use the information channels available and disseminated in the social system. On the other hand the degree course in stage design at the Brera, was in this experience, based on the large size and the multidisciplinary technical, implementation of a land for all forms of visual spectacle of their own culture; values ​​and solutions that we recognize today in its work.
