THE WORK

Venus Neon Chanel part.1 is a Pop reinterpretation, performed by Paolo Pilotti, of one of the most emblematic works of the Italian Renaissance: we are talking, in fact, about the "Birth of Venus" painted by Sandro Botticelli between 1485 and 1486, currently preserved in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. This canvas made with mixed techniques represents the famous Venus, an icon of beauty, in the role of a young model with tattoos, jewels, lipstick and nail polish, who shows off her sensual body looking at us with a melancholic and at the same time seductive gaze, covering her female organ with a bottle of Chanel n°5 and her breasts with the forearm. The long purple hair is moved by a breeze like in Botticelli's original work. The numerous neon lights that form the backdrop to the work are reminiscent of the characteristic lighting of nightclubs present in large metropolises. To conclude, in this creation, Venus seems to have been catapulted into our contemporaneity, transforming into an irresistible model completely absorbed by fashions and the need to appear typical of our society.
