In HELIOENDIMIO, beyond the smiling crescent moon, the radiant sun’s gaze meets the eye of the creator who, at the same time, is both “divine” and profane, among the recurring symbols in the self-portrait. It lights up and reflects its silky light in the turquoise “sky” of the Zodiac, which is both the Centre of a “baroque” infinity and the astral conjunction of opposites. His irony, which I repeat, is the most kind and innocent of ironies, can only express itself in the naive madness of his visual imagination. Giuliano Briganti

Luigi Ontani was born in Vergato, Bologna, in 1943. Since the sixties, when he used to create series of pleonastic objects, his reference, the imaginary matrix, was childhood; and it was the same matrix that later transformed itself into a sort of metamorphic play, carrying itself forward on the image in spectacular actions of symbolic, mythical, fairytale-like, but also softly erotic character.
He works at the loss of his identity, and at the same time on the glorification of the same image-identity (we are talking about a “luigiontanomorfa” art ); he realizes “Tableaux Vivants” set upon a symbolic ritual rich in cultural reference.
Every time he transforms himself in a different character, getting his models form the list of the aulic culture as well as from the pop-culture of every country; now he plays the part of a god of Olympus, in a refined, slightly ironic and melancholic self presentation; now an Italian mask; now he presents himself in a soft and extremely sweet abandon, in which he was condemned to slumber by Giove for having aspired to the love of Era, like an Endymion of immense beauty bellezza; now as an oriental prince, in the golden magnificence of his apparel (Biennale di Venezia ‘78); now as a hero of the diverse patriotic epos; now as an Ecce Homo at Sodom.
His presentations are accompanied by film and music, which intensifies the sweet and deep rituality.
