The CAMeC Centre of Modern and Contemporary Art of La Spezia\u00a0presents a novel version of Paolo Mottura, with the exhibition \u201cPinocchio, Car\u00eame and other stories\u201d,<\/strong> curated by Eleonora Acerbi and Cinzia Compalati, and a large mural presenting the artist and his passions.<\/p>\n Paolo Mottura<\/strong> is a comic-strip artist known for his collaboration with the Walt Disney company. At the CAMeC he is exhibiting other, lesser-known aspects of his work, which is distinguished by talented drawing, a precious, versatile technique and original, engrossing stories.<\/p>\n The exhibition, laid out on the floor 2 of the Centre<\/strong>, consists of numerous illustrated stories, starting from his last work dedicated to the most famous, most frequently-represented children\u2019s story, \u201cPinocchio\u201d (Edizioni NPE, 2021), with a series of canvases and works on coloured paper which re-interpret the episodes and develop a particular metaphorical expression of Collodi\u2019s invention. These are followed by various original preparatory panels from another important production, \u201cCar\u00eame\u201d (Les Humano\u00efdes Associ\u00e9s, 2009), an ode to friendship written by Christophe Bec, which relates the troubled adventures of two men of solitary disposition: Martinien Fid\u00e8le, a skinny vacuum-cleaner rep lost in the mountains, and Aim\u00e9 Car\u00eame, a painting restorer, a sharp-witted soul whose extraordinary obesity makes him the victim of mockery. \u00a0Another French work is \u201cDeus\u201d (Soleil, 2008), a graphic novel with an historical setting and an extremely topical content, whose protagonist is a humanoid creature, The New Man, who\/which seems invulnerable to illness. After \u201cCar\u00eame\u201d and \u201cDeus\u201d, \u201cRedemption\u201d (Dupuis, 2009) is the third collaboration between Paolo Mottura and Christophe Bec, who here address the theme of the man without a past, the stranger who arrives in an unknown, ghost town called (not coincidentally) \u201cDeath\u201d, or \u201cRedemption\u201d. Then some drawings for the visionary story \u201cHant\u00e9\u201d (Soleil, 2008), for the children\u2019s audiobook \u201cThrough me the way into the dark cave\u201d (Voglino Editrice, 2016), and for three novels and stories by Stefano Benni: \u201cTerra!\u201d (\u201cEarth!\u201d), \u201cIl nuovo libraio\u201d (\u201cThe new bookseller\u201d), \u201cIl sax del Nuovola rossa\u201d (\u201cThe sax of the red Cloud\u201d).<\/p>\n Also on display is an eminently pictorial work which reveals a Paolo Mottura who is unknown to the public at large, as well as his fondness for experimentation with materials: the 1998\u00a0 \u201cNo graffiti\u201d. Paolo Mottura was born in Pinerolo (TURIN) in 1968.<\/strong> Since 2003 he has worked with the French publisher Les Humano\u00efdes Associ\u00e9s. drawing for them the series\u00a0Car\u00eame\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<\/em>winning the\u00a0Albert Uderzo\u00a02005\u00a0<\/em>prize as the best new talent. In 2007 he began a collaboration with the publisher Soleil Productions, publishing with them DEUS, with texts by Bec\/Betbeder, and in 2008 with Dupuis, for which he publishes\u00a0Redemption.<\/em> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ header_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_text_color=”#000000″ custom_padding=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Exhibition promoted by and produced with the contribution of curated by:\u00a0<\/strong>Eleonora Acerbi and Cinzia Compalati in collaboration with Cristiana Maucci press office:<\/strong><\/p>\n Ufficio stampa Comune La Spezia<\/strong>: Luca Della Torre | Tel. +39 0187 727324 |\u00a0<\/span>ufficiostampa@comune.sp.it<\/a><\/p>\n CSArt \u2013 Comunicazione per l\u2019Arte<\/strong>: Chiara Serri | Tel. +39 0522 1715142 | Cell. +39 348 7025100 [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The CAMeC Centre of Modern and Contemporary Art of La Spezia\u00a0presents a novel version of Paolo Mottura, with the exhibition \u201cPinocchio, Car\u00eame and other stories\u201d, curated by Eleonora Acerbi and Cinzia Compalati, and a large mural presenting the artist and his passions.

Finally, we should mention a special, fundamental contribution to this new project of the CAMeC exhibition: a site-specific intervention, created on the corridor wall, a large acrylic drawing showing the artist himself surrounded by the main objects and characters appearing in his \u2018stories\u2019, and linked to his other passions besides art, such as music and the sea.<\/p>\n
In 1989 he began to publish with Disney Italia, at that time Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, working from then on in\u00a0Topolino<\/em>,\u00a0Minni<\/em>\u00a0& Company<\/em>,\u00a0Paperinik<\/em>\u00a0e\u00a0PKNA<\/em>\u00a0(Paperinik New Adventures<\/em>), as well as for the Disney Books section.
His first graphic interpretation of a script in Disney was\u00a0Zio Paperone e il mistero dell\u2019Olimpo (Uncle Scrooge and the mystery of Olympus)<\/em>, by Giorgio Pezzin. He translated numerous stories into cartoon form, including: \u00a0Dalla parte sbagliata<\/em>\u00a0(On the wrong side<\/em>, 1998) and\u00a0L’ombra del drago<\/em>\u00a0(The shadow of the dragon,<\/em>\u00a01999), both scripted by Tito Fraci;\u00a0Topolino e la valle della dimenticanza<\/em>\u00a0(Mickey Mouse and the valley of forgetfulness, 2001<\/em>), by Rudy Salvagnini.
In 1998 he won the\u00a0Topolino d\u2019oro (Golden Mickey Mouse<\/em>) for the best Disney story of 1997. He also collaborated with other publishers and newspapers, such as Sole 24 Ore and La Stampa.<\/p>\n
In 2010, with his friend Fabio Celoni he adapted the video game\u00a0Epic Mickey<\/em>\u00a0into graphic form, scripted by the American Peter David, and he created the graphic novel of the film\u00a0Tron: Legacy<\/em>. In 2011 he began to collaborate with the publishers Sergio Bonelli Editore, publishing among other things a\u00a0Dylan Dog<\/em>\u00a0story scripted by Barbara Baraldi, also illustrating an edition of\u00a0Le Storie<\/em>\u00a0based on a script by Fausto Vitaliano.
More recently Paolo has concentrated on the great parodies of literary and cinematographic works, including\u00a0Topolino e il ritorno alla dolce vita<\/em>\u00a0(Mickey Mouse and the return to the Dolce Vita)<\/em>, scripted by Roberto Gagnor and Marco Ponti,\u00a0On the Road<\/em>\u00a0by Fausto Vitaliano,\u00a0Moby Dick<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Metopolis<\/em>, scripted by Francesco Artibani.<\/p>\n
