Jonathan Monk, Salvatore Mangione
TARO NASU is pleased to announce a dual exhibition by Jonathan Monk and Salvo, “Salvo Stage Sets”.
Salvatore Mangione, known as “Salvo”, has been active as a painter since the early 1960s. To make a living, Salvo is said to have sold inexpensive portraits, landscapes, and forgeries of works by famous artists.
Monk has been releasing a series of works, namely “Salvo Trees”, since 2016. In this series, Monk prints out images of Salvo’s landscape paintings on A4 paper or magazine advertisements, canvases, and then covers the background with acrylic, gouache or watercolors, leaving only the trees that belong to the original composition. Monk, who often uses “appropriation” as one of his methods, here focuses on the concept of repetition, providing a new perspective on Salvo’s artistic approach, as well as his own.
In addition to the latest 12 works from Monk’s “Salvo Trees” series, “Staged Salvo”, for which the artist has included images of renowned musicians, this exhibition will feature 5 Salvo’s works, created around 1980-2000.
