On appearance the themes run after each other.

The contents strongly repel each other, but like in the pages of a traveller’s diary, in the end they find space and order. Territories  and figures alternate hoping to find an appropriate pen that would know how to tell the adventures which happened in the studio. Pictures stolen from light, made up of colour, in particular the white which is the quintessence of the iris. Salvatore and Rosario Surano, a team formed to achieve a common objective. There is only one name for the company, but you, inattentive visitor, have to distinguish the colours of a show, the not so common tastes of these twins. But if it was distraction, it did not last long…just the necessary time to turn off the blinding light of the sun so that we can recognize the uncommon detection of the Surano’s.

In Rosario’s paintings the colours glide, they roam over the shapes, forgetting their function to show images. The appearances are pointed out even before their definition, the depth of the range snaps forward and reaches into the foreground.

This  initiation to art, for the Surano twins, is equal to a two way ticket they will search beyond the space they have already looked at and they will come back even more enchanted.

Salvatore’s characters are often too busy to observe who is looking at them. Their eyes show curiosity for the space in front not expressed pictorially. Beyond this metaphor the figures seem imprisoned in the form, held in the colour. The still life is the only form of art that lives without patterns, it shows and magnifies itself when it is similar to the reality. In Salvatore’s picture Still life is oriented to the east where the sun rises. Rosario and Salvatore or the adventure of colour.
