"A brick, lime, a strip of fabric, leather, the lawn, a shoe, Blue Orchid by The White Stripes, kill Bill, a laugh, underwear, socks, hair, a caress from Michela, a piece of advice from Maurizio, a kiss from Marika, a shoe, a seething mush that advances relentlessly, taking up all the surface space. If by matter we mean everything that is endowed with its own physical consistency, endowed with weight and inertia, this is enor-mously significant for me. I like playing with it, altering it, tormenting its surface, wallowing in it as if it were mud. Immerse myself in it and get shipwrecked"
Born in Castiglione Del Lago, Filippo Moroni, class of 1996, lives and works in Milan. After graduating in Design, he continued his education at the “Pietro Vannucci” Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia. In 2022 he completed his studies at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan.
Over the years he has exhibited in private and public spaces both in Italy and abroad. Moroni’s work actually indulges and destines itself to others’ consciousness in the full totality of form and content but at the same time remains partially granitic and enigmatic.
It annoys the ambitious, gratifies the impeded, both thus forced into a vis à vis with themselves. Moreover, almost as if exercising an act of violence, the artist disappears behind his direction by sitting in the audience and pushing the actor to the extremes of possible and impossible.
With these guidelines, his work investigates the relationship between reality and appearance in society, between irony and tragedy, between excess and scarcity. His works imbued with carnal allusions flaunt an ambiguously opulent character, something voluptuous and disturbing that saturates the viewer’s perception.
