Gulino begins to dedicate his painting to the epic deeds of clandestine migrants that have never been written. On the seashore he collects wreckages of history, wrecks of boats abandoned after the long crossing, hulks of shipwrecks. A trapezoidal board, with a red background, welcomes a white clandestinus like a lemur, contorted in insufficient space, its face contracted in a spasm like the woman of Guernica. However, this is not the typical clandestinus of Gulino. More frequently it is an androgynous type, like an acknowledgement of the indifference of the sexes in the face of tragedy (ecce homo is not ecce vir) that in some paintings takes place in an ironic debunking of false pietism. The pose of a crucified Christ, for example, is surmounted by a feminine head with heavy make-up, while two figures drawn from art n\u00e8gre keep watch over it wearing unlikely shoes with pin-shaped heels. From the tragedy (doors that are inexorably shut, with cold geometry, latches and bolts) to the most mocking ballade. The \"clandestinus\" is he who has overcome the barriers and is inebriated with freedom. His irreverent metamorphosis is continuous. Even Sicily is now in stripes like the American flag and moves with the dancing steps, wearing heeled feminine shoes, while Ferdinandea returns to stir. In the middle of this collapse, even for Pier Paolo Pasolini, in some portraits that are dramatic but assailed like the father of Vel\u00e0zquez under Bacon's brush, appears as \"clandestinus\", a true outsider, a prophet and witness in one, a key character in the theatre of Franco Accursio Gulino\".

This is an interaction made possible by the instinct to move and travel, be it out of necessity or out of curiosity and the desire to discover different realities.\nFranco Accursio Gulino's multiform production, far from being an expression of incomplete research, appears, instead, like the artistic transposition of this continous traveling, real and metaphorical, done by the human being since his appearance on the Earth\" (Paola Imperiale, <span class=\"titolo\">Wayfarers<\/span>, in the catalogue for the individual show <span class=\"titolo\">Camminati-Wayfarers<\/span>, Nairobi, 2011)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Dalle coste africane la Sicilia e l&#8217;Italia appaiono come l&#8217;inizio di un cammino attraverso l&#8217;Europa, ma il traguardo di un cammino che ha avuto inizio molto lontano, tra fatiche inenarrabili e stenti. Gulino incomincia a dedicare la sua pittura all&#8217;epopea mai scritta dei migranti clandestini. In riva al mare raccoglie rottami di storia, sfasciami di barche abbandonate dopo la lunga traversata, relitti di naufragi. Una tavola trapezoidale, col fondo rosso accoglie un clandestinus bianco come un lemure, contorto in uno spazio insufficiente, la faccia contratta in uno spasimo come la donna di Guernica. Non \u00e8 per\u00f2 questo il tipico clandestinus di Gulino. Pi\u00f9 frequente \u00e8 un tipo androgino, come constatazione della indifferenza dei sessi di fronte alla tragedia (ecce homo non \u00e8 ecce vir) che in alcuni dipinti si svolge in una dissacrazione ironica del falso pietismo. La posa di un Cristo crocifisso, per esempio, \u00e8 sormontata da una testa femminile col trucco pesante, mentre due figure tratte dall&#8217;art n\u00e8gre la sorvegliano calzando inverosimili scarpe col tacco a spillo. Dalla tragedia (porte inesorabilmente chiuse, di fredda geometria chiavistelli e catenacci) alla ballata pi\u00f9 beffarda. Il &#8220;clandestinus&#8221; \u00e8 colui che ha superato le barriere ed \u00e8 inebriato di libert\u00e0. La sua metamorfosi irriverente \u00e8 continua. Anche la Sicilia \u00e8 ora a strisce come la bandiera americana e muove con passo di danza calzando scarpe femminili col tacco, mentre Ferdinandea torna ad agitarsi. In mezzo a questo crollo, anche Pier Paolo Pasolini, in alcuni ritratti drammatici, ma aggrediti come il papa di Vel\u00e0zquez sotto il pennello di Bacon, figura come clandestinus, vero outsider, insieme profeta e testimone, personaggio chiave nel teatro di Franco Accursio Gulino&#8221;. (Carlo Bertelli, Franco Accursio Gulino. La ballata dei viandanti, in Catalogo della mostra personale Camminanti, Nairobi, 2011) &#8220;Le opere di Gulino trasferiscono sul piano visivo una realt\u00e0 interculturale che affonda le sue radici nel desiderio dei popoli di interagire. Un&#8217;interazione resa possibile dall&#8217;istinto a spostarsi e viaggiare, vuoi per necessit\u00e0, vuoi per curiosit\u00e0 e desiderio di scoprire l&#8217;altro. La multiforme produzione di Franco Accursio Gulino appare come la trasposizione artistica di questo continuo viaggiare, concreto e metaforico, dell&#8217;essere umano sin dal suo apparire sulla Terra&#8221;.
