Duty Gorn

Title: DUTY CUBE


The idea is to interpret in a contemporary way and far from all rules the “Universal Judgment ” by Michelangelo.


The personalities with their past actions will become the new gods free to do anything trough connivances and calculations sometimes with good intentions but with disturbing results.


They are souls that float in a spiral that culminates with a symbol, there where Michelangelo has painted the vital touch between God and men. It’s a big question mark that contains and implicates the disturbing meaning of the work of art. Where will mankind go? Our personalities will move within the cube/worship place and from time to time they will be accompanied by quick questions written aside by the artist, almost as to involve the guest in a series of universal and personal questions that will remain inside, obliging him/her to reflect.


But the artist will insert also unknown men and women, autobiographical allusions that surface from his unconscious. It will be a marvelous trip through his contemporary history but also through his own intimacy, where personal power games chase each other trying to prevail above others.


For this reason the music that will reign inside the cube/worship place will be the pure essence of the concept of the game, the candid side of this term: nursery rhymes sang by kids in all languages.


DUTY GORN (Guido Minto Belloni), membro della street art milanese, inizia a dipingere nel ‘94 a soli 14 anni dando inizio così ad una carriera che fin da subito gli porta riconoscimenti a livello europeo.

Vince molti contest di writing a Milano, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Carpi e molto presto si esprime su tele preferibilmente di grossi formati in acrilico, tempera e marker raggiungendo Roma, Barcellona, Zurigo ed Amsterdam.

Definito dalla critica un misto tra la pop art di Andy Warhol e la Scuola d’arte di New York, DUTY GORN rappresenta oggi uno degli artisti più promettenti che l’Italia può vantare.

Presente dal 2004 presso lo Spazio Pontaccio in Brera e Vincitore del Premio Campari “Campari Mixx for Art”nel 2005, il giovane artista ha esposto presso la Triennale, il Teatro delle Erbe, la Rojo Gallery a Milano, la Rojo Gallery a Vienna, la Inoperable Gallery a Vienna, Puzzle 4 Peace a Bratislava e in location note come il Plastic, Lo Straf Hotel, L’Enterprise Hotel, La Banque, Orea Malià Atelier.

Ha partecipato inoltre ad eventi di brand quali Vertu, Montblanc, Salone del Mobile 2006 e 2007, Marcel Wanders Puma Collection, Classic Life, Campari, Zero 02.
