About this artwork
This painting is the 5th of 8 in the SMOKERS series, a series of works dedicated to great cigar smokers.
Michael Jordan, besides being the great athlete that the world knows, is also a great cigar enthusiast. In several interviews he has stated that cigars have been his great companions in memorable moments of his life. Here I wanted to almost distort his figure by inserting him in a deliberately disproportionate perspective, which shoots him so… high that he comes out of the edge of the canvas. In the foreground remain his prodigious hands and the iconic number "23" on the Bulls uniform. It is both a tribute and a metaphor about the man and the character. His position evokes resilience and triumph after so many trials, in a pause of unconfessed and personal reflection where a smoking cigar is his intimate accomplice.
Alessandro Marini, born in Rome in 1973, lives in Viterbo. After a course of studies focused on the artistic field, he began his personal journey in the mid-90s, where he debuted as an author in the world of comics with the magazine SHORTS. Since 2000, what had previously been a gradual transition to painting, has become definitive. Over time he has had the opportunity to experiment and deepen the use of the major pictorial techniques; finding in oil painting the most suitable expressive capacity to combine his grotesque and generally monochromatic style with an idea of tradition. Alessandro Marini's world is inhabited by silent, solitary characters, full of distorted expressiveness, where from within closed and dark environments, they have the ability to attract the attention of the viewer through their dark looks full of sustained and intriguing irony. In recent years he has collaborated with artists in various sectors, creating themed exhibitions and multimedia shows.
