– A world of injustices and discrimination, of promises kept and broken, of positive and negative actions, of apparent inclusion and decisive exclusion. A world that values and mythologizes the exclusivity of a select few “chosen ones,” while increasingly practicing prejudicial exclusion. Does “exclusive” also mean “excluded”? What is exclusion? Perhaps deviance? And what is deviance? Everything that falls outside the norm is, epistemologically, deviant. Right norms and wrong norms, proper normalities and improper normalities… Who decides, perhaps we will never know. We live in a society that hopes for and strives toward an inclusive model, yet creates ideological boundaries that confine us within a hyper-urban landscape of walls, closures, and injustices. Thinking of Sartre, we might take the idea of the wall as an example, or we could think of Pink Floyd and their masterpiece The Wall…

Abstract >> Bruno Salvatore Latella, aka LBS, is a young visual artist born in the city of Reggio Calabria, Italy, in 1999. Gabriele Romeo interviewed him on the occasion of his recent donation in the Municipality of Crotone, during the commemorative anniversary dedicated to the migrants who were victims of that very violent shipwreck, which occurred in Italy, on the Calabrian coast, on February 26, 2023. His artwork refers to the news value that the research of the visual arts in the new languages of Street Art assumes in relation to the ferment of activism and the multiple fundamental democratic languages of civil rights, in a dialogue open to all social classes to raise awareness of public opinion, Italian, European, world, so as to help it reflect and raise awareness of the many victims and the many misfortunes that immigration often entails.
Chi è LBS?
LBS, alias Bruno Salvatore Latella, è un musicista e artista visivo.
Il percorso artistico dell’artista Bruno Salvatore Latella comincia a svilupparsi nel 2009, con l’inizio degli studi pianistici al Conservatorio Francesco Cilea di Reggio Calabria; ma è dopo la fine del Liceo Scientifico, soprattutto grazie agli studi intrapresi all’Università degli Studi Mediterranea di Reggio Calabria, nel Corso di laurea Magistrale a Ciclo Unico “Scienze della Formazione Primaria”, che comincia l’avventura di questo artista; esordisce, infatti, nel mondo delle Arti Visive con una mostra personale, nel 2019, al “Caffè Storico Letterario le Giubbe Rosse” di Firenze.
Peculiarità dell’artista è quella di conciliare lo studio di materie umanistiche alla sua produzione artistica, trasponendo fotograficamente le idee e le “Visioni” che la mente gli suggerisce, prendendo ispirazione da artisti Rinascimentali, Moderni e Contemporanei.
