Loud, shrill and extreme – that’s how the 80s appear in the media. Fabio Moro dedicates himself to the decade of his youth and goes on an artistic search. Through the world of cinema, series, music, books and magazines, it leads him across the world. “Metaphisique retro” that’s how Fabio Moro calls his artistic flashbacks back from the eighties.
Fabio Moro is attached to the naive art. In his single exhibition “Aus der Traum”, the artist dedicates himself to the idols of his childhood, the bright figures of the 80s, and lead their existence into a different dimension. What about today’s Duracell bunnies, Freddy Krueger, Barbie and Ken? Today, where there are 80s parties in every club and in fashion the extreme styles of the 80s are always “en vogue”, the journey into the past is particularly interesting.
His protagonists revive Moro with oilcolors on canvas. It is a slow painting process that leaves enough time for memories. With bright colors, childish motifs and an unmistakable irony, he brings the stars and starlets of the wild eighties to the here and now. “What has become of the idols,” is the question which everything revolves around. Fabio Moro’s pictures show that they are not there anymore than they once were.
