What kind of art can you follow on Instagram? There are profiles that celebrate artists of the past, users who make copies of works of art with tempera, #inspo profiles that collect various types of works of art together with female bodies, flowers, etc. If we talk about art, however, it is more interesting to follow profiles of artists to enter their world - often Instagram allows you to create a "bulletin board" that has the power to communicate the style, the atmosphere, the behind the scenes of creation .
Essay Naples
His work is his life - his story and his places, reworked - shared in many of its aspects, especially in the Stories. The Neapolitan digital artist, digital yes but also very analog in the movements, in the looks, shares his performances, his southern aesthetic (Naples is often decontextualized, carried around the world like an amulet), his memes, the parties with friends (the curator Milovan Farronato is portrayed and filmed in every possible way), her walks in the snow with cowgirl pants with her butt out (she is also a twerkatrice but she does it differently, with her she becomes an artistic performance) , she in a pizzeria or restaurant, in Naples or London. A ride on the colored carousel of Sagg Napoli is recommended.
Emiliano Maggi
Entering a Sabbath. Dances, witches, purple, pink, red ceramics, dresses pulled up, masks. Maggi is an artist who does more things: from sculpture to music, from the study of clothes (all pointed, pointed shoes, pointed hats) to complex choreography. But all these things lead to a single point, a same atmosphere, a single center: tribal and refined together, popular and elitist, earthly but also ethereal. If you want to enter a Sabbath - a space where every gesture has its importance, its ceremonial, where sacred and profane touch each other continuously - the profile of this artist based in Rome is the one for you.
Claudia Comte
Soft curves, zigzags, wood, stone. The sculptures of the artist are to be imagined in an empty, white space, or in nature, a tropical nature, woods, in the desert, or on Instagram where they are very comfortable. Even the marble ones are warm, turn on themselves, seem alive, ancient and very modern totems. Her profile is full of her works, she is fixing one of her paintings on the gallery wall, eating a banana while painting a gradient, she carving a piece of wood with soundproof headphones, she smiling with a chainsaw at his feet.
Jago
Although the idea of pure art is still strong in 2020, the artist who never compromises with his audience, with society, Jago defines himself in his Instagram bio "Artrepreneur". His profile is full of photos of himself and his works, most often his together with his sculptures: while he looks at them, he works them, he questions them. Details are everything: wrinkles, imperceptible signs of expression, veins, capillaries, ripples of ice cream that looks like a sea. After the tropical the arctic, glacial, white works, the human is there but it is marked, firm, crystallized.
Giuseppe Palmisano
Of the artist's profiles (many) one can follow iononsonopipo because iosonopipo, the one where he had posted all his photos and where he had the most followers was sold, after a long auction, on Ebay (under all they ask: really or for pretend?). On this profile there are fewer photos and more posts that urge his followers to do things, to interact, to reflect after laughing.
