Congratulations to Leonardo Zuccaro Marchi the winner of the SHOWDOWN Head-To-Head. The artwork Utopia-Bauci will compete with other SHOWDOWN finalists to find an overall winner.

|  | Artist Name: Leonardo Zuccaro Marchi | | | Title: Utopia-Bauci | | | Size: whatever | | Medium: | | | Description: “[…]Who wants to go to Bauci is not able to see it even if he’s arrived. The thin stilts rise from the ground, far from each other, losing themselves into the clouds, supporting the city. You climb up by ladders (now by lifts!). The inhabitants show seldom themselves on the ground: they have all the necessary materials up there and they prefer to not go down […] Three hypothesis are given about Bauci inhabitants: first, they hate the Earth; second, they respect it so much that they prefer to avoid any contact; third, they love it as it was before they came so they review it with telescopes and glasses, leaf by leaf, stone by stone, ant by ant, contemplating fascinated their own absence.” Italo Calvino, Le città invisibili | | | | CLICK HERE TO VIEW MORE ARTWORK BY THIS ARTIST | |

This is the very funny and humorous matter, but this could be also very serious and confirmable. | | | | CLICK HERE TO VIEW MORE ARTWORK BY THIS ARTIST | |

Congratulations to John O Gentile the winner of the SHOWDOWN Head-To-Head. The artwork cargo will compete with other SHOWDOWN finalists to find an overall winner.
| )
| | Artist Name: John O Gentile | | | Title: cargo | | | Size: 68"x68" 172x172cm | | Medium: oil on canvas | | | Description: abstract grid with reference to reality. My paintings can be categorized as abstract, but with a reference to realism. The subjects come from magazines and newspapers, this allows me to continue to portray the contemporary world as I see it. The grid flows spontaneously and freely over the surface of the canvas, with lines of specific dimensions related to the size of the canvas. Some have interpreted this criss-cross of lines to be similar to the paintings of Brice Marden. The difference is that he paints these lines going around the canvas and going over the other lines of different colors. My lines, as they flow, tell a story, a real story. You can look inside these lines and follow to the next intersection, something realistic appears. You can stop and actually see what it is, then continue on to the next stop and something else will appear. So looking at my paintings from a distance the overall grid pattern is abstract, but looking at them close up, you can see very realistic forms inside. I would define my work as : Hyper-Realistic Abstractions. John O. Gentile | | | | CLICK HERE TO VIEW MORE ARTWORK BY THIS ARTIST | |

Congratulations to Michal Cole the winner of the SHOWDOWN Head-To-Head. The artwork The Deer will compete with other SHOWDOWN finalists to find an overall winner.
| )
| | Artist Name: Michal Cole | | | Title: The Deer | | | Size: 90X 60 | | Medium: Photography | | | Description: Secret Delights/The Zoo Series
These photographic series are a personal and contemporary interpretation inspired by the “official” portraits made by great masters such as Titian and Van Dyke.
It represents a humoristic and fetishist view on the subject of the ‘social mask’ – that is, how we present ourselves to the world with regards to our social status, physical appearance and sexuality.
The subjects are photographed in the women’s own homes, wearing their choice of clothing. Prior to the shoot, I ask them to imagine what their ‘inner animal’ is. I then stitch a handmade mask to their specifications to represent this. I sew the mask to the collar of their garment and photograph them. It is important to mention that none of the masks were bought. Each mask was individually hand sewn, an antidote to the blank uniformity that such an item might otherwise represent.
In Secret Delights, the woman is wearing a gimp-style mask, rather than an animal mask. In the context of her surroundings, the mask is simultaneously sinister and amusing, empowering and disempowering. The Zoo pictures, which evolved from the Secret Delights series, have a more liberating feel. The masks reflect the individuality of each woman and allow a playful response to desires, which might be disturbing or bizarre. The fables of La Fontaine, which use animals to explore human concerns, were also an (early) inspiration for these pictures.
The masks provide the women with the comfort of anonymity, while in contrast, their body postures, personal belongings and environment deliver their own message to the viewer. The masks are vehicles to explore those aspects of ourselves, which we might usually conceal.

| | Artist Name: Fabio Palumbo | | | Title: Batllo I | | | Size: 50 x 50 | | Medium: Manipulated Polaroid SX70 Photography | | | Description: From Barcelona Series.
Used technique: photographies Polaroid manipulated manually during the process of developing. This technique known as " Manipulation of Polaroid Time Zero SX70 film "consists of the alteration and deformation of the gel that takes inside the film, by means of local pressure using an instrument of rounded top; in this case punches of metacrilato of own manufacture. Only it is possible to realize the manipulation up to the moment of the solidification of the gel, this period, depending on the conditions and the film, can range between 10 min. and half an hour approximately. Then, scanning the images route comes near to the amplifications processes of digital photography.
The work is conceived under the idea of “only piece” and it consists of two parts: first, the original Polaroid on which the manipulation has been realized; and the second part of the work is the photographic amplification of the Polaroid.
