Ben Ormenese 
Sebbene sia un artista schivo e riservato, lontano dai frastuoni, sometimes sclerotic, contemporary culture, Ben Ormenese during his long career he has always worked tirelessly, dedicating his life to art. Refined and cultured man, he produced sculptures, paintings and "painter-sculpture" by which, thanks to its flexibility, its technical capacity and use of many different types of colors and materials (wood, cardboard, and strip , perspex, etc.) has explored the themes of art that path and the most involved. Stand out, among others, the dynamism, the bright, light effects to and from work, the colors of the pigments, the relationship between second and third dimension, the ratio of full vacuum, plasticismo.Ricercatore the imaginative, witty, complex and tireless, always the over stretched, Ormenese during his intellectual activity has always maintained without some modes, both from his innate ability both from his previous biography, which have always distinguished : first of all the planning that focuses on the possibilities of implementation and enforcement, the versatility needed for the interpenetration of techniques and materials, harmony, understood as the agreement rate of the tensions generated by the colors, lines, shapes and materials that make up the various elements of creation, the reference to an architectural geometry perceived as systematic for the formal construction and structural work, the extreme equilibrium, interpreted as a single body, organic structure, resulting from the internal compensation of the individual features, the dialogue natural and artificially constructed within the work itself and space that surrounds it. The work of art therefore Ormense is not a place where a person is substantiated, but the real subject, in which the relationship between space, light, form and structure are, firstly, excuse for analysis by 'another, the resources required to construct the building itself. These modes of operation give rise to actual cycles of experiments in which Ormernse investigates a particular issue in an analytical until the latter is not satisfied, as evidenced by the series of "fluctuations" and "theater". Just one of these pathways is central theme at issue in this exhibition in Marcon, in conjunction with the retrospective exhibition at the Museums of Santa Caterina in Treviso, 13 November 2010. The works on display, always imbued with eurythmy balanced and proportionate, if interpreted in metaphor, are transformed into a narrative with plot which shows not a single story but a collection of subjective and objective events that coexist in the same space and time. This chorus, expanding on the story because it lacks a beginning and an end, allows the viewer to accept a reading capable by all the detail and vice versa, and thus become masters of their own visual and interpretive trail. To give life to his original creations, Ormenese alongside this particular narrative kind to use an eclectic writing tool: the knife. The latter, in the master's hand, moving with surgical skill, carving, line, and tears the black support, bringing out the underlying material of different pigmentation. This "calligraphy" is sometimes taken by the intaglio print and sometimes sculptural, makes it possible to create shapes and figures made of a solid color stretch to enhance the expressive figure of the "written" and therefore make it even more compelling in the eyes of the observer.
