Saturno Butto - The Five Senses (LP + Book)

THE FIVE SENSES OIL WORKS BY SATURNO BUTTO'

They are a series of panels, 15 in total, divided into three parts, with a common denominator, the "5 senses", precisely. The constant of all the works of the project is undoubtedly eros, declined in three levels, starting from the beauty and sensuality of the first series, to then move on to the 5 frames of what could be a video clip in the second part, until reaching the "pornographic echoes" of the last sequence.

However, even in this last series of works (as in the previous ones) always with an attention to elegance and compositional beauty, avoiding any vulgarity.In short, it is a revisitation of the theme, according to my personal interpretation, divided into three blocks of 5 works, making use of the collaboration of 5 models.

In the first, the subjects present on each table are two and each piece corresponds to one of the 5 senses, there is no sequentiality. In the second block (ritual) the 5 models are represented for each table who in turn mark, in an ordered sequence this time, sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste, as if it were an "initiatory ritual". The third block of works sees the presence of three models for each painting who, without a precise order (exactly as in the first series) interpret, in a much more explicit key, one of the five senses for each single work.
