Clemente: The Neapolitan traveller
The Neapolitan traveller is the title of an exhibition held by Clemente in 1982 at the Paul Maez gallery in Cologne, which featured 72 works on paper executed by the artist between 1971 and 1978. Similar to a travel journal, these drawings narrate the discovery of a different interior dimension, halfway between sleeping and waking, but also of different civilizations far from the Greek-Roman legacy, through the overlapping of iconographic patterns from various cultural areas. Conceived as a sort of “psychic account”, they reflect the artist’s strong interest in psychoanalysis, cybernetics and philosophy that in those years brought him to read texts by Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze and Élix Guattari, and to share the concept of “utopian imagination” theorized by Herbert Marcuse.

A sort of magic territory carved into space, as Alighiero Boetti defined it. The artist undertakes this journey with his alter ago: his partner Alba Primiceri (Untitled, 1974), but also with that “unconscious ego” emerging from dreams and holding the key to his creative freedom (Untitled, 1974). In this first series of works the artist highlights one of the fundamental elements of his pictorial language: the symbol, the combination of words or ideas and image, explicitly mentioned in these drawings and represented as the two halves of a plaque that two twin figures have to put together.
