Scorpion Dagger – Wilderness
Il canadese Scorpion Dagger si è fatto conoscere in rete attraverso le sue gif animate nelle quali inserisce personaggi prelevati dai dipinti (molto spesso sacri) del rinascimento (principalmente nordico) rendendoli in movimento per raccontarci e prendere in giro in maniera ironica il nostro presente attraverso l’accostamento di figure sacre con dinamiche e comportamenti della nostra contemporaneità. Ironico grottesco e dissacrante, Scorpion dagger anima santi, Dei e ricchi del passato, facendoli diventare arte (ri)animata.

Scorpion Dagger, canadian, has become known on the net through his animated gifs in which he inserts characters taken from paintings (often sacred) of the Renaissance (mainly Nordic) making them move to narrate us – and ironically make fun of – our present, through the juxtaposition of sacred figures with the dynamics and behavior of our contemporaneity. Ironically grotesque and irreverent, Scorpion dagger vivifies saints, gods and rich people of the past, turning them into (re)animated art.
