Hive Ice-Cream was born from the digital elaboration of Salvatore Zito's late 90s physical work from his "light thorny sticks" collection. A tempera on paper depicts a beehive-shaped ice cream;using the digital media, bees fully express their nature through sound and movement. The freedom to move within the art scene allows them to interact with the work of which they construct a clear predominant sign: the bees, guardians of sweetness, do not let anyone near. The inviting sweetness of a honey ice cream therefore becomes a dream: the buzz and movement of the hardworking bees prevents anyone from ruining its appearance; they create a sweet, inviting, honeyed imaginary, but at the same time they preserve it by dissuading anyone from ruining its perfection. Bees protect and preserve beauty, not only in this work but also on our planet.
Salvatore Zito lives and works in Turin. He graduated in painting from the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts, where he held the chair of Decoration. Classically trained painter with a spectacular technique, he applies this peculiarity of his to all the artistic experiences that he finds himself going through. Zito works in cycles: Ferraris, Coca-cola, watermelons, tides, still lifes, Spiderman and sticks have gradually populated his works, faced in an ever new way: now with impetuous passion, now with cultured quotes , now with lacerating gestures and expressiveness supported by a rich and intense chromaticity. Salvatore Zito loves to be seduced by the intrinsic beauty of color and uses it to build subtle ironies.
