An Odyssey Beyond Reason
Dear artists, humanists, and visionaries, The artistic landscape is ever-evolving, and every so often a movement emerges that redefines what we thought we knew about art and life itself. It is with great enthusiasm that we present to you “Divine Folly”, the new chapter in the revolutionary career of master Raffaele Scaglione. For some time, Scaglione has used the flags of the world’s states as a symbol of reason, creating frames that merge with the artwork itself, uniting nations and ideologies in a visual dialogue. But in 2022, with “Reason and Divine Folly”, he began a symbolic protest against the corruption threatening to suffocate our divine spirit, cutting the flags from the top and bottom of his works. In 2023, his vision has evolved further.
Recognizing that reason might no longer have a place in the hearts of many, he chose to free his works from every flag, opening the doors to a new era where “divine folly” reigns supreme. And now, we invite you to join us on this adventure. If you feel that tradition and reason have limited your artistic expression, if you have heard the call of divine folly and wish to explore the depths of your creative genius, “Divine Folly” is your stage. This movement is not just an artistic direction, but a revolution of the soul, an invitation to challenge conventions and to find divinity in chaos. Share with us your vision, your passion, and your critique. Join “Divine Folly” and together, we will create works that will challenge, inspire, and transform the world of art. For a future without boundaries, where art is free to express itself in all its divine and mad forms, we await you. With deep respect and admiration, The “Divine Folly” Movement and Raffaele Scaglione.
