Description:
If we want to live a healthy world, we need healthy relationships. Angela Vettese in the book entitled: "It is done with everything. The language of contemporary art" reports a reflection on the role of the artist: “Artists reveal things that concern us, even if we don't seem to realize it. Yoko Ono explains the dynamic: the benefits given by trees are so invisible that people think they can cut trees and build a building. It may seem cheaper but once the trees are cut down you will see what has been lost. Artists are the same. Their role in society is similar to that of trees " In my artistic researches I follow my philosophical and scientific studies and investigations, based on language as a conceptual subject. My works are often in equilibrium between causality and control. Since 2011 I investigate the social relations through the “social canvas”, it is an interactive way to draw under variable surfaces ( canvas or walls) the personal “geographic” maps about the social relationships between the people, involved in the project, who are usually from different social levels or internal small closed social group . United by special chosen sociological criteria (colleagues, friends, family, artists, prisoners, migrants, women, children with disabilities ecc). The work proposed for the application, [shared oxygen starting .... s.o.s.], is a canvas made with indelible markers, by many persons and reveals a poetic map to begin this journey of change starting from human relationships.

Private lessons in painting in studio of Maestro Sergio Debon in Pieve di Cadore (Belluno). His artistic interests and activities into the field of conceptual art began after the meeting and friendship with Cuban artist Diango Hernàndez. During his creative journey Morandini is exploring themes on language as a conceptual subject through several means as digital arts, video, performances, automatic drawings, paintings and kinetic, sound and /or light installations. Thought the years he is focused his creative research into the relations between language and its instruments of use, altering their balance and functions to create conceptual harmony or dissonances, through accumulation and/or obsession, creating one or many new realities.
