PREMATURE
PREMATURE is the multimedia project that includes all the Augmented Klecksography Paintings , pushing the boundaries of the creative possibility of inkblot art, where the aesthetic power of the artist's original paintings is enhanced through the mean of photography. Klecksography is the technique of making images starting from inkblots, pioneered by Justinus Kerner since the second half of the 19th century and soon after used by the famous psychoanalyst Hermann Rorschach. The union between klecksography and digital photography creates an outcome that immortalizes the freshness of each original painting (rigorously A4 size) and enhances its details, making the digital file of the artwork the definitive piece of art, ready to be wide-printed or minted in the Blockchain. The genesis of a PREMATURE artwork resides in the silent dialogue established between the artist and the paint, which is shaped under the artist's fingers, following the path of the matter until the point it can reveal itself before him. The object of this revelation is the form that constitutes the work of art, depicting creatures never thought nor designed, figures of anthropomorphic beings coming from the subconscious and loaded with such an inherent visual power that they take on a life of their own in front a viewer's sight. De Benedetto's investigation, which is focused on the revelation rather than the creation, pushes the boundaries of a known-by-few technique as klecksography to obtain a peculiar and a brand new aesthetic based on the imperfection of symmetry and on obsessive research on highlighting the textures. De Benedetto, with his Augmented Klecksography Paintings, wants to point the focus on the discovering of the subconscious through the creative process, where the artist is not in plain control on the formation of the piece. Freeing the chance and the instinct to collaborate with, the artist witness the materialization of the infinite possibility of the matter in shapes that deal with the subconscious, allowing the interpretation. “Take each PREMATURE revelation as a mirror for reflecting yourself into the work of art”.
