an introduction to "aritmie"   It is the uneven time-space-image compression of current events that leads Marco Cecchi to give shape to individual and common emotional nerves.   In his paintings one can discover the artist as a sensitive feeler that is able to capture the current neurosis that flattens events and traumatic emotions into an apathetic addiction.   His characters scream, with clenched lips, rage, fear, bewilderment...   Their hypnotic glances, mirror of our restlessness, claim attention to their own pain, to their own beauty, to their own dismay.   Marco Cecchi cuts the barbed wire of our insensitivity through the impending faces of a forgotten humanity: thanks to those astonished eyes, one can maybe look inside for the wire of a modern, absent-minded, but certainly not lost, �pietas�.   In his pictures, the colours vibrate, now gloomy and violent, now smooth and radiant: colours of the rebellion against the flattening imposed by a society that rushes against itself.   - Pietro Ferrandino - Translation: Brigida Calise _aritmie
