Picture yourself in a
brand-new dimension of Art expression and next thing
you know you are experiencing a new sensation of freedom
and the feeling that after all contemporary Art remains
alive to an extent far beyond what you probably might
have been expecting. Picture yourself getting rid of
the same old art concepts even the so called contemporary,
for all that matters, and therefore entering a new universe
of world wide communication where you can be involved
as a viewer, as a critic and even as an artist. You
may wonder how come is that possible? Simply because
Antonio Pessoa is indeed a whole lot more than just
the average artist, he is a genuine born to be a communicator,
relating Art directly to people right in the act as
a power of nature led by a natural mission wich opens
the doors and through Art discloses directly the hidden
secrets of life, love, energy, positive thinking and
more than contemporary Art a new perspective of contemporary
attitude. The NEW ERA is atributed to Antonio Pessoa
just as cubism to Picasso. The studio wizard is back
online like Phoenix from the ashes. No more heroes required,
Antonio Pessoa is just a man not a God, nevertheless
his macro energy, talent, heart and soul, turn out to
be the perfect combination right at the start of the
new century. A NEW ERA of Art expression is born and
long live modern Art with Antonio Pessoa's contribution
and his voluntary act of giving in common with others
for the common purpose of contemporary Art enhancement
developmental endeavour. There's no doubt that Antonio
Pessoa's New Era is here to stay. It's well known that
the artist's tradition and reputation translates a solid
as a rock reliability wich keeps on providing us with
the undeniable reassurance that once he commits himself
to a specific convincing belief he hardly is ever going
to give it up or give in. And that's about as far as
we need to go. So Art lovers , all you have to do is
let your emotions flow as Antonio Pessoa's New Era artworks
keep on coming, showing us the Art side of reality,
with the impact touch wich only he knows how to handle
with the unmistakable skillfulness of his exceptional
creative ability, dazzling unusual and unique, the model
of contemporary Art communication at his very best apotheosis
level of invention and high quality. The general anatomy
of Antonio Pessoa's New Era artworks is of total abstract
meteoritical symbols, a babylonian of colors and shapes
macroevolution leading us to amazing suggestions of
how our feelings and emotions can actually drift away
for a long voyage a waggish day dreaming experience
that only Art has made possible up to now. If ever there
is any particular message behind the cosmogenical surface
of the New Era's artworks, very likely is for the artist
to know and for us to find out. That's indeed the stimulating
thrill of writing Art with underlines. Despite this
artistic classified information, undoubtedly kept in
secret on purpose, communication is flowing out in the
open more than enough or at least just enough to keep
the viewer in the privileged state of fascinating discovery.
A friend of mine roughly one year ago came up with a
quite interesting quotation. He said "Writing about
Art is the same as painting about Music". That
kept me wondering for a few days, fortunately I gave
it a second thought and there I was concluding that
maybe painting while writing about Art was probably
the next option to take. One way or another, fact is
that on the whole I've always been more concerned about
Antonio Pessoa's life, the artist and the man, than
specifically, shall we say, preoccupied about going
on prattling putting down in words what is visually
so much enough obvious as mysterious. And that's definitely
the wonderful thrill of contemplating visual arts. So
therefore as far as Antonio Pessoa's New Era is concerned
I see myself rather playing the role of the biographer
than just the art critic very often obsessively displaying
titanic literary criticism oriented pages in the time
wasting struggle of searching for square definitions
related to something such as Art where obviously rigidly
accurate analytical sequences have absolutely nothing
to do with what's at stake. Antonio Pessoa's New Era
can easily manage to survive without the need of long
speeches about the issue. On the other hand Antonio
Pessoa's life and work has got indeed much more than
enough amazing and truly interesting real time, direct
action, real life, living Art content as to actually
provide adequate ground to be put down in words. Art
interpretation concept therefore makes the artist's
biographical zone if not compulsory , at least worthy
of acceptance in order to digest a far more clear understanding
of what it's all about. Specifically what particularly
concerns Antonio Pessoa's New Era, now here we have
a true stimulating and complex challenge to face, to
take and definitely to enjoy. Standing before the idea
of this new project of Antonio Pessoa, is just about
enough to give us the breathtaking hope that indeed
something unexpectedly new in the contemporary Art scene
is about to happen.Fact is it already did. So let the
child grow, make it asap Antonio, for all of us who
have been following your career so far, we all believe
it's going to turn out to be one more time into an action
art performance wich certainly is going to keep us together
more than ever focusing our attention span into your
Art vision today. Art lovers and Art collectors sure
need something fresh and new to lean on and that's where
Antonio Pessoa's New Era comes in, full of color and
grace, gentle and sentimental, elegantly glamourous
and powerfully avant-gardish wich now that we come to
think of it verdict is that it turns out to be a formula
far beyond the so called contemporary fashion average,
straight towards the perfect combination of what progressive
neo-futurism indeed should be. A true Art studio veteran
coming back live and alive dressed up as a talented
gifted absolute beginner, much more than a daring act
of courage, is hereupon the herald shouting the arrival
of the new century's mirror, the magical mirror wich
only Art can provide, wich only Art can afford just
by translating the contradictory elements of nature
into the compact beauty wich only Art can accomplish.
Art lovers and Art collectors, make room and make way,
let us all allow Antonio Pessoa's New Era to become
what it's meant to be. A brave new world of communication,
intention, sensation, emotion, inventio n and expression.
Submitting a new concept to the world has always been
a risky process, a labyrinth of options and alternative
B plans, pertaining to unconventional choices between
mutually exclusive possibilities. Once the petrification
of the same old formulas becomes totally out of question,
then there's no way back whatsoever and the two options
left are either suicide or glory. And that's as romantic
as I can afford to be when sharing and facing the artist's
dilemma of to be real or not to be. The Art magician
one day wakes up just to find out and so honestly admit
to himself that despite his multiple tricks somehow
still manage to keep the audience in a suspense breathtaking
nail- biting tension, fact is that suddenly his tricks
don't mean anything to him anymore. And that sometimes
can actually be the very beginning of a new period,
if there's still the burning fire in the artist's heart
and soul. Antonio Pessoa's New Era is the perfect example
of a heart and soul, where dancing flames seem to flip-flop
and fly through clouds and clouds of multicolored smoke
and as when there is smoke there is fire, there is an
artist who has just made up his mind determined to make
sure the show must go on and this time now more eager
than ever to step on the stage and turn the audience
into an orgasmic crowd. Better said than done, some
might claim, although while in so doing, very likely
the artist is already at work and while some skepticals
bystanders doubt it, very probably Antonio Pessoa's
New Era might as well be by then taking off, flying
and landing at the airport of recognition to receive
the open arms welcome of the erudite ones who have the
privilege of understanding an artistic phenomenon when
they see one.
