GREAT CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS
TONY PRIOLO

Have contributed with vigor, determination, poetry, talent, to the history of the last venticinque years of our culture; but its name will go beyond the end of the century. Priolo is in the perennial one, in the Ars without time or limitation of period. "From via Margutta, Nerina says Dangers, when pictures here and here with a nail hung, Tony Priolo was with Rennets, Guttuso, De Chirico.." Priolo, but, and such us seems its greater merit, has not mutuato from nobody; it has painted together to the large ones but its print, also in the passages of several tendencies, is remained always most personal, decided. One search painting, always in the canoni of the beauty; a continuous attempt of overcoming that is inappagato how much of expresses the artist. Futurismo or trans futurismo, realism, informal or golden divisionismo, all most personal and is very guarded under the wings of this great master. To Priolo case it does not say: "I believe in my art, you creed with all my energies, all the heart, with all my weaknesses, you creed until dying." "... Tony Priolo is a thought of Vitulio Margaritelli has the great merit to confirm how much to us is of beautiful and of true in the world who encircle us and we, fruitori lucky people of its art and interpreters of its message, we stretch ourselves and we donate ourselves strong of a novel forces and a new desire more better to know itself and than to interpret, than for a long time the innumerevoli works created from its prestigious hand and constructed with a passion who affect, of it make testimony.....".

........ us new evidence today Priolo and the circles concentrates to us could be too many........... we speak about DYNAMICS, the painting in motion, than Priolo it has brilliantly conceived and already transport in hundred of pictures. It is not dynamics of soothed movement but to the step with the times: laser, missiles, ultrasonic speeds, satellites. The pennellate ones of the artist seem to decompose time and space, ask watching mobility, attention and coordination, in a single leap bring back the art to something of advanced, that it must "see" and not watch distrattamente or en passant. The color galoppa, estolle, falls, the figures escapes, is decomposed from a angle-shot, ricompaiono, lets to intuire, is confirmed more... than lessons, Priolo nozzle challenges........quella of "DYNAMICS". "FROM CIMABUE To the 900-screw Of the LARGE ones Of the ART" it introduces the artist with taken care of analysis of Dario Beauty: " ... Il job of Priolo, in all is made, documented just an impulse and an own inevitabilità, determines the suoossessionante to you to progress through a series of images... Priolo is engaged in one locked search intenta unificare the pittorica surface and to catch up in every a complete intensity of feeling and emphasis operates....". "...... the painting of Tony Priolo says AnneVanoli, critic and French historian is the manifestation of the existence. It is sign of the essence of the life, propaga on the burlap the human condition and the exaltation of the artist for the nature.....". "...... the largeness of Priolo is a thought of Antonia Arconti is in its ability to be, at the same time, spiritual materico and. The corposa evidence of the pittorica matter and/or the sign, that they assume a value of "historical trace" in if same, before being a mere support to the rappresentazione, is risen until creating oniriche atmospheres.......".
