Somma Lombardo :
'The great mother'
comeback - in the local art John Oteri is called "teacher". However, rarely look Oteri visibility: any exhibition marks a definite period of his life and comes from the need above all interior, as well as the inner world is represented in "Reminiscences and visions", on stage 22 to 24 October at Villa Bellini , Somma Lombardo.
Oteri This exhibition represents a real return to life , after it plunged into the darkness of darkness because of the disease, have hit bottom and be moved up. A rebirth, symbolized in painting by a new light that bathes his paintings. Fifteen new works that the artist created in the last year and that, along with his other historical works, will go to reconstruct and present to the dream that universe that has always and with great skill Oteri is able to evoke in his paintings.
Dreams detectors - difficult to remain impassive in the face of the artist's works: his art is so dreamy (in the atmosphere evoked in the suspension of time and space scenes, the scent of a general size evanescent), yet the dreams and the visions outlined by Oteri could not be more realistic, because they speak to man through man, tell of the drama in the perennial struggle between good and evil, between anguish and ecstasy, toccano le sue paure ancestrali e gli antichi dilemmi, ma anche i nuovi

problemi della società contemporanea.
Arte e vita - Su quel filo quasi invisibile che segna il confine tra realtà e sogno si collocano le opere dell'artista, drammatiche e sconvolgenti in alcuni casi, delicate e poetiche in altri. La sua arte è anche estremamente autobiografica e porta con sé un bagaglio di immagini che si presentano costantemente e che, come sogni ricorrenti, raccontano il cammino percorso fino a qui: i simboli della
Magna Grecia, sua terra nativa (è nato a Reggio Calabria nel 1946) , la Roma degli anni della gioventù, gli elicotteri dell'Agusta, where he worked for 30 years, the Mediterranean landscapes during his stay in Libya. His paintings are mixed and are mixed memories of the past, today's feelings and visions of an afterlife: images floating amid an impalpable, the substance of which dreams are made.
pupil of De Chirico - recent works bear witness to the profound changes that have occurred in the life of Oteri: the fiery red, with bright colors, almost violent, it
replace a work by the soft colors , played often in shades of purple, promptly invaded by a white light, a symbol of a life reborn. It never fails to amaze Instead, the incredible mastery of drawing, that stretch so vivid and expressive which Oteri makes perfect anatomy of the body, forming its women disturbing, erotic symbol, and muses at the same time. Two great masters to whom Oteri is and will be forever in your debt: Giorgio De Chirico, of which he attended during his youth studying in Rome, and Renzo Vespignani. "From De Chirico I learned the meaning of art, the importance of compliance: it allowed me to attend his lectures, but I had to remain silent and observe. Vespignani was driving, has had a profound effect on my search type ".
lights and colors subsconscio - From him he learned that, we say, is the most distinctive stylistic Oteri: that bright of color, the result of a technical expert, who do not satisfy the criteria realistic, but, in a superfine, seems able to materialize on the canvas in the mixture of feelings called dream.
