Paolo Adel Danese é un artista contemporaneo nato nel 1983. Utilizza differenti modalità espressive, incluso il disegno, la grafica d’arte, l’illustrazione, la pittura, la conferenza/performance, l’infografica, il libro d’artista, il djing ed il vjing come forma di ricerca artistica e spirituale. Secondo l’artista americano Paul Laffoley, “La fase finale del modernismo inizia nell’anno 2000 e viene inaugurata l’11 Settembre 2001, e continuerà per i prossimi 100 anni”. Il suo termine per questo periodo é il “Bauharoque“: combina il modernismo eroico del Bauhaus tedesco, con l’aspirazione verso un utopia tecnologica, e la teatralità esaltata del barocco italiano, nel quale l’esuberanza tra forma e illusione serve ad esprimere l’unione mistica tra arte e vita. Nel 2015 Paolo inizia il progetto interdisciplinare chiamato “Tales from the 5D Ultraverse“. Nel 2017 nasce anche Discoteca Clandestina, lo spin-off musicale apocalittico di Tales From The 5D Ultraverse.

Paolo Adel Danese is a contemporary artist born in 1983.
He uses different expression modalities, including drawing, graphic arts, illustration, painting, lecture/performance, infographics, artist’s book, djing and vjing as a form of spiritual and artistic research.
According to american artist Paul Laffoley, “The final phase of modernism in the western world began with the year 2000 A.D. and was consummated by September 11, 2001, and will continue for the next one hundred years”. His term for this period is the “Bauharoque“. “It combined the heroic modernism of the German Bauhaus, with the aspiration toward a technological utopia, and the exalted theatricality of the italian baroque, in which an exuberance of form and illusion serve to express the mystical union of art and life.”
In 2015 Paolo started an interdisciplinary art project called “Tales from the 5D Ultraverse”.
In 2017 Discoteca Clandestina was also born, as the apocalyptic musical spin-off of Tales From The 5D Ultraverse.
