Synopses & Reviews
Forming part of Drago's 36 Chambers series, Let the Kids Play by Pax Paloscia, displays a fresh naivete. Let the Kids Play is the artists' artistic diary of post-modern childhood. Through graffiti, drawings and photography Pax defines her universe the same way children play with the symbolic objects of their enchanted world. An intimate diary similar to the secret box we had when we were kids, full of useless treasures, which are really precious objects from a world between reality and imagination writes Italian art critic Laura Lombardi. The influencing elements on her work are urban movements and street art. Growing up in Rome, Pax rediscovered that sense of wonder in the street, a source of authenticity and emotions which influence her artwork. This is a free zone, crossed by urban nomads searching nonplaces to re-conquer. The book expresses the special intensity of human nature, that mix of pureness and honesty that children easily convey, the unexpected irony hidden behind our everyday gestures. Discovering that, in the ordinary, often the extraordinary can be captured.
