Nes Lerpa viser os rundt i sit andet hjemland, Italien. Her har han sit atelier, Borgo Lanfranco i Emilia Romagna i de piacentinske højdedrag syd for Milano udenfor byen Piacenza - et fantastisk naturområde med gammel kultur. Her vandt puneren Hannibal over romerne ved floden Trebbia, her er pragtfuld mad og vinene Gutturnio og Ortrugo opkaldt af romerne. Vi besøger nogle af de steder og mennesker der inspirerer Nes i området: lokale bønder med udskænkning, en moderniseret forhenværende tomatfabrik, en vinavler, det keramiske værksted Ceramiche San Giorgio ude ved havet. Den specielle italienske ånd gennemtrænger alle stederne, sætter fantasi og skaberkraft i svingninger.

My World in Italy

Nes Lerpa shows us around in his second home country, Italy. Here he has his studio, Borgo Lanfranco in Emilia Romagna, in the piacentic highlands south of Milan outside the city of Piacenza - a magnificent natural area of ancient culture. Here Hannibal won over the Romans on the River Trebbia, and here there are wonderful food and the wines Gutturnio and Ortrugo named by the Romans.

We visit some of the places and people who inspire Nes in the area: local farmers serving wine, a modernized former tomato factory, a vineyard, Ceramiche San Giorgio's workshop by the sea. The special Italian spirit penetrates all the places, putting imagination and creativity into fluctuations.

The cloisters of Santa Catarina, which have measured the centuries in the solemn severity of their arches and vaults, are able to host and to magnificently render the meaning of the confrontation and debate with Nes Lerpa for a very simple reason:

 

Through well-tried visual and tactile sensations our artist launches the most limpid and true confrontation and debate in existence.

 

Now the truth, thanks to these big canvases, is before people´s eyes: the terracotta guerillas are inexorably on the march: no one must detach their gaze or distract their thoughts. Nes Lerpa is lying in wait and ever ready to strike.

Santa Catarina Klostret i Finale Borgo, Ligurien, Italien, juli 2007.

 

Santa Catarina Klostret, som i sine tunge og højtidelige buer og hvælvinger favner århundreder, er storslåede rammer som indgår i en meningsfuld konfrontation og dialog med Nes Lerpa af den simple årsag at Nes Lerpa via sin gennemprøvede visuelle og taktile fornemmelser lancerer den mest krystalklare og ægte eksistentielle konfrontation og debat.

 

Takket være disse kæmpe lærreder går det hurtigt op for beskueren at terracotta-guerillaerne ubønhørligt er på march: Ingen kan slippe blikket eller lade sig distrahere. Nes Lerpa ligger på lur og kan gå til angreb når som helst.

A Viking invades Morimondo 

Morimondo, Milano 1986


Exhibition Circus

A famous monastery outside Milano, a piazza, a church, meadows, archway, ancient walls are invaded by Nes Lerpa and a group of Italian and Danish people, bringing transparent plastics, ceramics, canvases and reindeer furs. Finding spontaneous materials at a local farmer.
A clash of contrasts, juxtapositions between the medieval ambience and the experimental expression of colours, shapes and structures.

I 1985 greb Nes Lerpa muligheden for at lave en stor og kompleks udstilling i den gamle klædefabrik i Odense. 

 

I samarbejde med folk med den rette visionære indstilling, skaber Nes' brug af mange forskellige materialer mange vinkler, skygger og flertydigheder.

Her er et kort og intenst uddrag af udstillingen med mange fotos af Nes' Oliemalerier og keramik kunst.

Nes Lerpa grapped the opportunity to make a great complex exhibition in the ancient textile factory in Odense, Funen. Many different materials creating different angles, shadows and ambiguities, working with people with the right understanding of visions.

 

The first video is shorter version, intense, many still photos of paintings.

The second one is a slow and meditative version with many visual reflexions.
