Yann Sciberras Artist Painter
« Nowadays, when
everything is transient,
when perenniality is
measured in hours,
when all is perishable
and disposable, when
even wars are like
lightning, I try to fix, by
what some might call
graffiti, words or
slogans, images,
feelings and my
perception of all that
surrounds me ”. Yann Sciberras
A 100%
ELECTRON
urban
Influenced by the free
figuration and bad
painting movements, Yann
Sciberras’ work is cutting,
offbeat and definitely
urban.
He matches forms, words
, “in English”. These
paintings tell a story, a
truth through slogans and
poetry.
Yann sciberras’ work comes from punk and rock culture and
demonstrates spontaneity, vehemence ,
keeping in mind at the same time, a sense of
humour and self derision.
Ecological, political, social claims, kicking the
termite colony that is consumes society, his
art is a torrent of signs, images, words,
warnings without giving lesson but as a
witness of today’s world.
He opens himself to the world thanks to
drawings, to rather bright colours, words
used as slogans, but also as a kind of urban
poetry, he uses his painting as a real tool of
communication.
Doodles on canvas, instinctive painting
influenced by the free figuration and the bad
painting movements, Yann Sciberras’ work is
cutting, offbeat and definitely urban.
THESE
PAINTINGS Are often large letting him free himself and better
develop in all ways his thoughts.
Meeting creations of this 21st century electron, is
like diving 20 000 miles under seas and
submersing in the magma of a subtle and real
territory.
His aim is not to lecture people, but just be an
“artistic” witness of present civilization in which
we are all actors.
We could call Yann Sciberras a director of
colours, shapes, eccentric characters that he is
transforming into real heroes of our times.
He pays homage in his way to todays world, with
an intimate perception of all around him :
ecological demands, social protests, political
enigmas…
Jubilitation, good mood, and selfmockery but
cynism too are the artist’s and particularly the
man’s signatures.
THE PUNK
ATTITUDE There is often
confusion when it is
said : “I’m a punk…”
Yann Sciberras is
not a “rebel coming
from the street”, as
he stresses it, but
just a punk from an
ordinary family.
PUNK
WHAT IS IT ? Claiming free creation, the punk movement was
born in the early sixties in the States with groups
such as the Sonics, the Seeds, 13th floor Elevators
and other groups from Detroit, The Stooges and
MC5.
But it was mainly during the seventies that the punk
philosophy began to find a receptive audience
amongst young people.
THEIR WISH : To turn upside down
the order of things. Rebel and cultural identity
Movement : imposing some artistic, musical and
cultural values which would give birth to NEW
WAVE. Essentially revolving around creativity
and authenticity, punk style explores the
territories of graphism, fashion and writing
SLOGANS : “Punk ‘s not dead” and its
antithesis antipunkonformist “Punk is dead”,
“Do it yourself”.
PHILOSOPHY : Everyone has to
build his own values “(…) As a painter, I would
define myself as a punk, not in the meaning of
“no future” or “destroy”, but because I want to
move, ask myself the right questions .
Change people minds, their points of view, their
analysis of the world.
Try to make people understand not to be sheep,
try to be objective, to reflect about the world.
Nowadays, we do not think anymore, we live in
the laziness of mind (…)”
…or untouchable, reserved for an elite, for the experts… On the
contrary, Art is aimed at everyone, young people, adults, every
socioprofessional groups, because the same worries, concerns,
obsessions, fantasies, fears… are what brings together those
millions of individuals.
Art is not necessarily in a museum, or in a galery, but it is here,
at every moment.
A moment of discovery, of pleasure, of relaxation and intimacy
while between the painter and the travellers.
HE DEMONSTRATES
THAT ART IS NOT AN
ELUSIVE WORLD
