In
particolare, nella serie Return to the forest,
teenagers in felpa e jeans cercano un'evasione dal
mondo urbano e la conquista di un mondo naturale da
scoprire per riscoprirsi. Sono spesso affiancati da
attrezzi per lavorare la terra, simbolo della
consapevolezza del bisogno di realizzare e di costruire
qualcosa e di superare un'esistenza fatta di soli
stereotipi. Cercando di ottenere un contatto reale con
il mondo e di sentirsene parte integrante, cercano, come
afferma lo stesso artista: “di approdare a un mondo non
più falso e finto”.
NOTE BIOGRAFICHE
Fabiano De
Martin Topranin è nato nel 1984 a S. Candido, Bolzano.
Vive e lavora a Padola di Comelico, Belluno. Nel 2009 ha
tenuto una mostra personale presso Palazzo Crepadona a
Belluno. Ha recentemente partecipato ai progetti: (2012)

Belluno.
“Ogni
nuova stagione espositiva è come un nuovo inizio, un
ripensare a quanto si è fatto per continuare a crescere
sulle radici, si spera solide, che si sono messe.
Arrivati alla soglia dei 18 anni (ma la maturità è
ancora lontana a venire) voglio ringraziare quanti,
magari solo per un attimo, un sorriso, una chiacchierata
o una sigaretta, si sono avvicinati all’attività della
Galleria. Continuo a lavorare per l’arte, nonostante
tutte le difficoltà, perché spero ancora che possa
salvarci. Un abbraccio” (Franco Marconi)
On Sunday 23rd September at
6.00 p.m. Marconi Gallery of Cupra
Marittima and Marche Centro d'Arte are
opening the solo exposition by Fabiano De
Martin Topranin, one of the winning
artists of the first edition of ORA Prize.
The project presents a series of works realized by the
artist in the last months and specially prepared for the
gallery and for its spaces. Some of the most important
sculptures of his previous research and the new project
Return to the forest will be shown.
The curator of the exhibition, Carolina
Lio says:” Fabiano De Martin Toprain gets out of the
wood the figures of young contemporary men and their
worries often related to the social life and to the
challenge with their fragility.His characters suffer
from the evil of a liquid society and have, as a result,
a character in the making, without a clear definition of
the self and which tries to identify through symbols,
fashions and combinations with the others”. All the
sculptures are carved in linden with sizes arriving to
the natural ones.
They are characterized very little
physically or even left in the form of draft and so
synthetic that they need to be guessed. The lack of
physical characterization of characters makes the
various portraits as represantations of a society and of
its models instead of specific people.
Particularly in the series Return to
the forest, teenagers in sweatshirt and jeans look
for an escape from the urban world and the conquest of a
natural world to discover. in order to rediscover
themselves. They are often accompanied by tools to work
the land as symbols of the awareness they need to
realize and build something and to overcome a life of
only stereotypes. “They try to arrive at a world no
longer fake”, as stated by the same artist, by getting a
real contact with it and feeling themselves as an
integral part of it.

Art and Villa Milari Fulcis of Belluno.
“Every new exhibition season is like a
new starting, a kind of rethinking of what has been
done in order to go on growing on the roots we planted
and which we hope solid.
Reached the threshold of the 18 years (but our maturity
is far from being), I want to thank all those who have
approached the work of the gallery even only for a
moment, a smile, a chatting or a cigarette. I go on
working for art neverthless all the difficulties,
because I still hope it can save us.
A hug”
