TITLE: I NUOVI MAESTRI ITALIANI DEL COLORE (PARTE III) - THE NEW ITALIAN MASTERS OF THE COLOUR (SECTION III)
PROFILE: M° MASSIMO TACCON
"Massimo Taccon"
paintings, sculptures, installations
Born 1967, Italy the artist lives and works in Rome, Italy
The "Maestro" Massimo Taccon ("ISMAHEL" his pseudonym from 1997 to 2002) was born in Rome on 19 May 1967. He finishes studies tecnico-commerciali and only a part of legal studies, because by now his demand of search and experimentation were bringing him toward other destinations.
He face themes in appearance among inside them but reality very near, like the yoga and the poetry, the feeding and then the search artistic and philosophical . These are the years of best maturation and introspection that will mark forever his soul and will address him fatally toward an approach to the reality of type more "intuitivo_-sperimentale" than "teorico-nozionistico". These are years of social appointment and of teaching too. Publics, in two different moments (1990-1998), a harvest of lyrics and a book of his "inside investigations" from the title "Message from the Lucy" edit by Bookstore Croce Editions. The thread conductor of his life seems however be use of the intuition and of the creativeness more than the respect of the rigidity of the forms.
." …my works are collected messages from the soul and transferred in image to represent an inside world. I pick up feelings and intuitions to reverse them to the exterior, trying to launch a call in this world, what I expect is a definitive inside awakening of whom picks up the call."
In 2007 he creates, with Fabio Taccon (photographer, coordinator and art director) "La Taccon arte" art studio & web gallery that attests, promotes and introduces the work of the versatile artist in beyond fifteen years of activity and every type of present and future artistic creation. The works of the "Maestro"(abstract paintings and modern sculptures in prevalence) are in the collections of museums, galleries, private and public collections, foundations, in Europe, North America and Asia.
Nato nel 1967, l'artista vive e lavora a Roma, Italia. Il Maestro Massimo Taccon (ISMAHEL il suo pseudonimo dal 1997 al 2002) nasce a Roma il 19 maggio 1967. Compie studi tecnico—commerciali e solo parzialmente giuridici perché ormai la sua esigenza di ricerca e sperimentazione lo stava portando verso altre mete. Affronta allora temi in apparenza distanti tra loro ma in realtà molto più vicini di quanto si pensi, come lo yoga e la poesia, l’alimentazione e quindi la ricerca artistica nonché filosofica. Questi sono gli anni della maggiore maturazione ed introspezione che segneranno indelebilmente la sua anima e che lo indirizzeranno inevitabilmente verso un approccio alla realtà di tipo più intuitivo—sperimentale piuttosto che teorico—nozionistico. Sono anni altresì di impegno sociale e di insegnamento. Pubblica, in due diversi momenti (1990—1998), una raccolta di liriche ed un libro frutto delle sue "indagini interiori" dal titolo "Messaggio dalla Luce" edito da Edizioni Libreria Croce. Il filo conduttore della sua vita sembra comunque essere l’uso dell’intuito e della creatività più che il rispetto della rigidità delle forme. "...le mie opere sono dei messaggi raccolti dall’anima e trasferiti in immagine a rappresentare un mondo interiore. Raccolgo sensazioni ed intuizioni per riversarle all’esterno cercando di lanciare un richiamo in questo mondo, quello che mi aspetto è un definitivo risveglio interiore di chi raccoglie la chiamata..." Nel 2007 crea con Fabio Taccon (fotografo, coordinatore e direttore d'arte) "La Taccon Artre" art studio & gallery che certifica, promuove e presenta il lavoro del poliedrico artista in oltre quindici anni di attività ed ogni sorta di creazione artistica sia presente che futura. Opere del Maestro (principalmente quadri astratti e sculture moderne) si trovano nelle collezioni di musei, collezioni private e pubbliche, fondazioni, in Europa, Nord America ed Asia.
