Four artists, four expressive vehicles, four worlds of reason and awareness, all in one extraordinary exhibition space. "CAOS project", curated by Paolo De Grandis and organised by Arte Communications, is an intersect of heterogeneous elements, the analysis of a multi-voice choir on contemporary reality, starting from a mutual perception and a common experience.  Man is succumbent, now more that at any other time in history, to the allure and the anxiety of a world that, in the globalisation of cultural, economics, social systems, appears ever more confused, unpredictable, chaotic and above all irredeemable with the profound humane dimension, with the balance between psyche and nature. Especially metropolitan environments, where cohabitation is so stratified and complex, have become magnets gravitating energy that, whether positive or negative, condition, plasmise and transform human phenomena. Without any tangible rules, without any intelligible and legible order. There has become a deep-rooted conscience that any however minimal event is a source of unpredictable consequences, originating a “domino effect” that continues by successive and exponential needs. Yet in this alienating blind rambling, in this apparent magma of uncertainty, lies a generating power, a spasm of creation and innovation that grows precisely in the dislocation of intuitions, trials, failures and then in sudden glimmers of light.  The understanding of these “mechanics of disorder” might just be the only way to give the world a surge of spirit, a sense of hope and of future, a trust in an unexpected and unforeseen arrangement. Then just to imagine it credible to escape from our errors. An artistic project is fundamentally, to say it in the words of Picasso, “a lie that helps us see the truth”. "CAOS project" is a desire to discover that we are still capable of facing reality, absorbing the chaos not just as a mere representative element, but as a method of conception and production of new paths, as an interpretation model, as the first brick in starting to try and develop an indiscretionary idea of the world, as consummate and universal.
Alba AMORUSO has always investigated the CHAOS of the modern city. In her "MEGALOPOLI" and "ECOMOSTRI" cycles her energetic technique profoundly highlighted all the contradictions of day-to-day life. Her work will be an all-embracing, very stirring large-scale installation with images of bizarre cities, palaces and streets that will completely engulf one of the rooms of the exhibition space.


Stefano FIORESI digs his roots in POP ART and uses an immense power and firmness to transform everything, from the most insignificant contemporary sign to the great icons of the past, into colourful, stirring POP symbols. His contribution to the "CHAOS project" will be an enormous installation of panels painted with various techniques, from stencil to acrylic, from spray to brush, to produce his grandiose fresco of CHAOS.
Massimo FRANCHI faces the theme using different mediums: video, digital printing, installation, sculpture, to communicate his view of daily CHAOS otherwise, as in one of his typical works, the horror provoked by "Chaotic" acts like the destruction of the twin towers of the World Trade Centre. The artist lived in New for several months and has a bond of great love for this melting pot. A strong message or manifesto that can remind us that all the good and the evil of the world is in our hands.
Giuseppe LINARDI, his hand offers us a truly great painting technique. With his charismatic ability to produce hyper-realistic images, he has chosen for "CAOS project" the arduous road of experimentation and continuous research until he surfaced with some quite surreal blow-ups, verging on abstract, their great force capable of evoking the fragmentation and insecurity of actual modern living. These works are great paintings, full of energy and colour pierced by white, symbol of air and life, which fills them with magic and weightlessness.
