Aleandro Roncarà
I was born in Orbetello in 1967.
But this is only the last part of the story. First there is a family of Orbetello restaurateurs I spent my all life in graphic studio in Montecatini ... the restaurant became my "private gallery ... and my three splendid children: Carlotta, Lupo and Brando.
Then there is the drawing. On diaries, walls, hospital plaster and billions of sheets. Finally the paintings, this time my stamp my characters, my world, all within their world. “Mondorondo”, precisely.
Where Centòmini, Mister Phil, Dixie, Rebblu, Squalogatto move ... where everything is fantasy and nothing is violence.
This extravagantly mythological land was born from the songs of the seventies, on the notes of Loi and Altomare, Drupi, Rino Gaetano; it feeds on the exploits of legendary figures, those that give zest to the stories, the cities at the night, all the bars, and enjoying good company. The real "characters", in short ... those whose each sentence could be the title of something, a song, a recipe of a short romantic novel. The true officiants of the "religion of staying up late and waiting for the sunrise" in my Unique city, which are the memory and the future of my generation.
Those that in my opinion, no matter how "already seen and In-correct”, are doing well in Mondorondo. The characters that animate Mondorondo (the pleasant planet without vocabulary!) live, breathe, they are pure color themselves, direct, iconic, simple in the way of having fun and cheering up by appearing. In Mondorondo everything is fantasy and nothing is violence as the artist points out.
Roncarà outlines his figures with marked and robust black contour, the black lines become deep observation of thoughts they support the characters, they are funny and iridescent scaffolds, which derive from dreams and ideas, songs sung at dawn, after having the late night in a bar in the neighborhood.
He strongly believes in unusual color combinations and in the male and black trait which separates them.
For some years he was involved in the world of sculpture , according to others with remarkable results.
He works with important fashion, accessories, design and furniture companies.
He draws, bakes cakes and paints in his unique and true "eternal" city Montecatini
