Toodì’s birth date is july, the 2nd, 1952. Born
in Alessandria, Egypt. He represents the 6th generation, perpetuating the continuity,
plunging the roots into the holy land of the Pharaons. His forefathers originals
from: italian, french, hungary, english, german and czechoslovak, determinated
his cosmopolitan vision of living. The father, Master of arts, will exercise
a big influence on the young Toodì, proposing him the art as an expressive element
of the future human expression of behaviour and philosofy. At twenty years old
he was tried the classical figurative arts. The results did not satisfy him,
that began to explore the human behaviour across the physiognomyc study of the
eye, who likes to call “radiography of the eye” . Atypical figure and antisociale,
avoids the crowded exhibitions and the excessive contact with the commercial
Arts world. around forty years old, he enriched by diversified interpersonal
relationship, starting to give at the canvas a new unusual dimension, not worthing
perspective, but representative of real volumes, composed by projected material
over the pictorial plan. The natural, unavoidable evolution, determine Toodì
to elaborate a personal meaning, something like an inevitable tendency to expansion
of the Univers/planets/human beings. At that point in time, the simple material
on the canvass, does’nt satisfy anymore Toodi, who wants to express a tangible
and strong reality. He surpasses the humble dimension of material volume and
gives the fabric a tridimensional identity who exploding, expands towards the
host environment. At the same time of this innovative expression form who will
be called “Expansionism”, Toodì crosses over the borders, the classic shapes
and colours proposing thematic collections in monochromy, where the materia
comes to be removed from the canvas to create the extreme conceptual images,
theory for searching new lived disclosure modality.
