Daniele #3083 and Fabio #3062, the artist-duo behind blue&joy are on their way to milan for their latest exhibition: Greatest Failures. the 11th discouraging exhibition of blue and joy.
i went to wish them good luck in their atelier just opposite our headquarters... and i was amazed once again to see their incredible work... the hilarious tragicomic characters blue&joy, one looking happy but is actually irrevocably sad, the other looking sad but feeling the other way round, embody a sort of inverted cliche that probably resides in each one of us.
it would be an easy shot thinking that their ironic characters represent their own alter-ego, it is much more likely, as they put it, that daniele&fabio were invented by two albino cabaret artist named blue&joy.
the feeling of disenchantment streaming throughout their paintings seems, at times, to be reflecting their own resentment towards the glossy world of advertisement, which instead of keeping like a skeleton in the closet, they animate in each of their paintings, all of them telling a story, floating... like a still-shot of a mood.
