New York, NY - Emmanuel Fremin Gallery has announced an upcoming collaboration with Italian artist Giuseppe Mastromatteo, his photography works on the 5 senses, "Indepensense", will be shown for the first in the Unites States at the Affordable Art Fair New York in May 2011.  Giuseppe Mastromatteo was born in 1970 on the 6th of August. After a period spent as a recordist assistant inside a record company, he graduated from Accademia di Comunicazione di Milano in art direction. He writes about the Arts, teaches Advertising at various significant academic institutions, and collaborates with the Triennale Museum of Milan in the role of art director. Since 2005 his works have been exhibited at the Fabbrica Eos Art Gallery, Milan as well as at  national and international art fairs. He currently lives and works in New York.

Giuseppe Mastromatteo’s portraits bring poetic Surrealism back to life. They could be collages, but take advantage of the subtlety of digital technology to reproduce humanity in impossible and illusory dimensions. Ripped faces, eyes and ears which run through hands, are the centre of an imaginary truth that draws inspiration from the visions of Magritte and Man Ray to land inside a new visual synthesis with stylistic patterns representing the most contemporary photography of our time, in a continuous overlapping of visual languages that live in the world of advertising and genuine research. Backgrounds are white, the light homogeneous: nothing averts the detailed expressions in the characters of this silent and fascinating theatre of the absurd. Transfigured bodies, pierced and lacerated do not show any form of violence, but instead pose solemnly in front of the photographer’s lens, beyond any suffering. No expression exists in these faces, there is no tension, but rather a sense of timelessness that leaves us open to reflect about the uncertainty of this third millennium. The observer’s eye is immediately attracted by the extravagance of these creatures, which at the same time produces a true sense of discomfort and uneasiness. Mastromatteo intervenes in the interior sense of beauty. The models he chooses for his images bring to the stage classic canons of harmony and equilibrium creating a complex dialectict between fascination and repulsion.

Emmanuel Fremin Gallery is located in Soho, New York, the genesis of the Art world. They are a contemporary gallery that mainly exhibits emerging artist's works through the media of photography, videos, installations and multi platforms. Their principal mission is to maintain the integrity of the artists intact while showcasing their artworks. They embrace the progressive conceptualization of the artists through serene, spiritual or provocative pieces, seeing their role as being the catalyst for them to develop their freedom of expression in a setting that is conducive for both the artist and the collector alike. This is accomplished by not only exposing their creations in the actual space but also by promoting them with countless galleries throughout Europe and participating in highly prominent art fairs that enable their artworks to be displayed through numerous forums; the commitment to nurturing an ongoing relationship between the artist, press and collector is always the integral part of our concept.
