Inspired by Picasso's 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon' Pasquale Giardino has similarly used angular and disjointed body shapes to create vitality. Giardino is known as one of the founding members of the ROAR collective formed in Fitzroy, 1982. Drawing upon a source of inspiration that is naive and expressive, Giardino's work has an honesty about it. This nude is how he sees a nude female. Where we as adults would stop our childish drawing and take on responsibility, Giardino kept going and without hesitation celebrates innocent curiosity. This is not how a child might see a female nude, but how an uninhibited mind sees the nude female. |
