VALERIO CARRUBBA
The method adopted by Valerio Carrubba is to paint each picture twice: after painting an image
that he has chosen primarily for the intricacy of its forms and materials, and therefore the
complexity of brushworks that it requires, according to the canons of classical art, with pictorial
realism and vigour, he overlays it with a second version of the same image, replicating what he
had done before in an almost automatic and detached manner.
In so doing, he creates a phantom.
The ambiguity in Carrubba’s work lies in the difficulty of deciding which of the two versions is
the phantom. For what we do not see is not a first draft, is not a sketch, is not a preparation,
but a more painterly, more finished version: the one that a naive, or “bourgeois” observer, or at
least someone accustomed to traditional painting, might describe, if he ever saw it, as the “real
picture”. And it is precisely the death of the “real”, in other words the extremely, irremediably,
ritually false picture that Carrubba celebrates; by first painting it and then, in the peace and quiet
of his studio, killing it and showing us its ectoplasm.

Carrubba’s paintings sweat blood, bilious humors and organic exhalations. Apparently his works
remind of Sixteenth Century’s anatomical plates, where the struggling hues and the ripped
figures seem to be caught between melodrama and melancholy.
His works are painted twice, one brushstroke lying on top of the other. This double painting
emphasizes the colors and repeats the forms, in order not to describe them but almost to
deny them. It’s about an extreme hyperrealism, where is the artist’s gesture to be meticulously
repeated and not the surrounding reality.
Cecilia Alemani
Naturally, this production of “paintings, which are intended to contradict their own truth and
no longer raise any question about the final appearance”, this “urgent need to contest the
visual”, this poetics of the “nothing to see” generate an inextricable tangle of other ambiguities,
contradictions and even misinterpretations.
The most glaring of these contradictions seems to me the romanticism inherent in this disruption
of a romantic conception of art. Carrubba does not evade these contradictions and does not fight
them. On the contrary, he bestrides them and takes them to the extreme, leading to an almost
chaotic proliferation that results in their explosion. And so, in “denouncing the impossibhity
of language”, he paints melodramatic and almost narrative images; in decreting the futility of
technique, he devotes himself to virtuoso displays of painting.
Above all, in representing the “desert of vision” (an activity that is already contradictory in itself),
he resorts to a series of metaphorical allusions: his figures, impossible living corpses, reveal what
is inside them, whereas the surface of the work conceals what lies behind it; the pathos on their
faces is that of holy pictures of saints, Sacred Hearts or the anatomical figures of the Specula, but
it is also that of the artist who simulates and disintegrates himself.

From Notes to Thoughts
Encounters with Valerio Carrubba
by Matteo Consonni
My interest in Carrubba’s paintings grew gradually, and when I first approached his work it was
of a completely different medium. A video, shown at Pianissimo gallery, presented a gruesome,
grotesque, theatrical monologue that appeared as white letters superimposed on the projection
of a western film. I only superficially knew his work as a painter, and having no particular
expectations, I was one of the few that, upon entering the space, didn’t ask “Where is Valerio
Carrubba’s show?”. In discovering his practice, I can say I got through the main door from the
side door, as the conceptual framework that characterizes this particular work ultimately informs
his whole production.
Valerio keeps saying “he’s a painter, but not”. He loves to inhabit a paradox where image, final
result, process and craft occupy un-hierarchical positions.
Having a conversation with Valerio means systematically discovering that I have not looked
enough. Knowing that each painting is painted twice, one layer covering the other on the same
support, is not sufficient. The image and the artist coexist in a relationship that is both cold
and rational and obsessively romantic. Valerio first selects an existing image and modifies it to
achieve a more exaggerated, pathetic, melodramatic result; then he paints it, making decisions
and modifying it in the process.
The process of an “industrial” double layering of each painting contrasts the way the artist “lives”
with his work: the images needs to be exhausted, and Valerio needs to look at the painting over
and over, consuming it before even finishing it. He tells me he rented a studio only for a short
period of time, as he couldn’t abandon the painting after a certain amount of fixed working
hours. I only understood that when I got in his studio/apartment, and I was able to look at
some unfinished works, which were just laying on a shelf in the living room, always visible and
present. Some details were already painted twice: a nose and a mouth emerged from an area
that, according to the dramatized, conquered master image, will represent a face covered in
hair. The bottom part of the portrait, a chequered sweater, was painted only once, and Valerio
told me he knew he would have to “live with these details” for who knows how much time,
replicating and exhausting what is simply a system of signs.
Paintings, video and drawings share interlaced strategies, and most of all contain what Carrubba
mentions as the main phenomena of his art: the process of “discovery”. The moment when the
“body-double” technique is unveiled in the paintings or, in case of the video, when the public
discovers that any video can act as a background for the superimposed words displayed, it represents a crucial moment for the artist. I instantly connect the negation of image and message
with a will to negate language, but Valerio is not convinced, as he states that a new system
is created. What is at stake here for me is the extraniation of the image from the relationship
between signifier and significant. Meaning, message and sign share an identical dimension but
also become independent.
Is this independence really possible? The video succeeds in eroding the relation between text
and the visual reference through the process of discovery, but the danger that the moving image
will be unconsciously connected to the text or the con-text by its selector is strongly present. The
image attracts you into this loophole, and a possibility of freedom seems to be represented by
the choice of avoiding any preconceived strategy.
What is Carrubba’s position in relation to the modern ever-present flux of images? He’s an avid
collector, an obsessive user, a visual sadist, a cold executor, an impulsive lover. Is he observing
these images in a different way from anyone, even if he finds them mainly on Google? And what
is the state of these images when Valerio finds them? Aren’t they exhausted already? Is Valerio
healing them in order to re-process that exhaustion into something new?
It took me a long time to realize that the support for his paintings wasn’t a canvas, but a steel box,
whose sides are left unpainted and shiny. How can this be missed? The shiny industrial material
stages the more pathetic image in a new, unreal dimension. The steel and the bright colour
palette act on the image as Technicolor in a Laurel & Hardy sketch, transforming it aesthetically
and at the same time stealing its contextual identity.
It is uncomfortable to define Carrubba’s art as “processual”. The final result is so important,
and the neatness of the final, teared-down image strikes me again and again. The process, in
negating a certain pictorial vocabulary, negates the final image, which paradoxically emerges
renewed. As in an HD TV, each detail exists in its best self visualization, composing an image that,
in the quest of clearness, loses its visual hierarchies and therefore exhausts itself.
Matteo Consonni is a curator based in London and Turin.
In 2009 and 2010 he attended the MFA in Curating at Goldsmiths College, London, where he developed a
series of projects that explore the grey areas between art, market and modern economy. In January 2009 he

These works are the sketches, the studies I do before to start painting.
I make them completely in photoshop, trying to obatin the weirdest result.
Technically these works are digital prints on a particular Kodak metallic paper (remind to the stainless steel
support on which are the paintings done), always b/n because they are not about colours, tones, palettes
etc, but are mostly focused on the psycologic mood I try to give to the painting that follows.
Not all of them will be translated at the end to a painting, but the ideas contained in them, certain passages
can be discovered in other works, in different projects.
More than anything else they are evidences of my modus operandi, of my approaches to painting.

These works are part of a series in progress in which are presented my sources/iconographic researches,
the images and texts I looked at, read/studied (and i still keep on doing) during the preparatory/previous/
following phase for the making of the paintings.
It’s a sort of archive, an Atlas of Images (of Warburghian inspiration), an illustrated block notes, but also a
sentimental diary, a collection of annotations, of references, of stimuli, from which elaboration are/ continue
to be born the subjects of my paintings.
As the previous prints and for the same reasons, these too are digital printed on Kodak metallic paper and
in b/n, so to precise their purely meditative aspect (colours in my idea could generate misunderstandings
and distractions from the real nature and task of the image) obtained through a hi-res scan of the book page
in question.
Sometimes the achieved image is resized to erase certain uninteresting areas or, on the contrary, to focus on
a particular one, so to fill it with pathos and melodrama, as happen on my paintings.
Titles, at last, indicates with precision the source of the image; they are such a bibliographic reference
complete of author, title, year, publisher and page numbers.

Body Double #1 is constituted by the video projection of an “opera libretto”, a “dramaturgic text”
superimposed to that of any movie, projected simultaneously and on the same screen.
The two bodies lay down one on top of the other, but remain separated and independent, on respective
running times and contents.
Body Double #1 is a truculent monologue, an abominable psychological drama in three moments, drenched
in hate and despise against an abstract other’s body, victim of a long and reiterated series of fearsome
violence and cruelties that the protagonist - a vague Ego - will address to the self body during the final
delirium, inflicting an awful death to himself, in a mood of hallucination and iconoclastic fury.
The narration is slow, monotone, exhausting, volountarily dilated and often repetitive.
The havocs on bodies, the overabundant and tragicomic representation of their systematic dismantling, of
their minute destructuration -piece by piece- are described with precision of detail and colour, as a painting
of bodies cutted off by wounds, a late Goya, an image of the twisting of intellect. The text is scientifically
precise but hyperbolically repellent, according to a convulse urge of whole anatomic unveiling, of complete
disarticulation, of multiplication of wounds, of amputations, of tortures, on a greedy and satisfied aesthetic
of bodies humiliation and destruction.

Guy Debord: Oeuvres cinématographiques complètes is a gift to Guy Debord.
My interest in Debord is mostly focused on his theorization of the work of art (more than The Society of the
Spectacle)... Reading his thoughts on the state of the image, of art and all its dérives, I almost feel something
‘epidermic’. I clearly see mirroring in his words the same exact instances of my painting in theory as well as
in practice.
The project consist on the production of six posters each one of them related to one of his movie, and on the
screening of his six movies in the same time and space.
With the idea of projecting his film, I don’t want come up with sociological or political issues, re-think the
“spectacle,” and I don’t wanna organize a cineforum. Instead, I would like to achieve my desire but also to
make more ‘explicit’ how my work is a research based on the surpassing of the idea of Form and Image, and
not a traditional neo-figurative painting.
All these things are very similar to a act of devotion and ex-voto, with the same intensity.
The desire to make the most representative art work of a hero accessible to everybody, plus the pleasure to
create (for that occasion, for his, in his memory, to celebrate) an ‘oeuvre’ for that occasion becomes, within
the whole perception, the ultimate gesture of devotion.

The work consists on recopying manually all pages of explanatory text about the surgical procedures for
amputations of the various parts: twenty-one panels for twenty-one ways to cut a body / image.
The pages are from: Traité complet de l’anatomie de l’homme, édition avec planches, tome VI by Jean
Baptiste Marc Bourgery and Claude Bernard with illustrations by Nicolas Henry Jacob published in Paris in
1866 -1867.
With the same skill of my paintings, on re-copying word by word -without changing the original layout, with
nothing to add and/or delete- I continue my research on the role of the image and its de/construction, using
the anatomical-surgical metaphor.
Without being ever sensationalistic or vulgar, giving the drawing a value not merely aesthetic but mainly
conceptual, redefining the same drawing fee, “portraying” words, commas, markings as they were
landscapes, faces and figures, I connect with a fine wire the praxis of drawing to the praxis and theory of
my painting: “superficially” reconducting to the same subject (resections of parts from the human body),
but so much more profound, applying the same modus operandi and showing the conceptual aspect of the
operation, the linguistic value of copy.
