Description

スイス人アーティスト、ダヴィド・ディール(David Diehl)の作品集。本書に収録されているシリーズは、スイスのサッカー雑誌『ZWÖLF Magazine』とのコラボレーションから始まり、そこから派生し、サッカーと宗教の融合を試みたものである。イラストレーションでもなく、ましてや風刺画でもない、キリスト教の「図像学(Iconography)」を参考にし、5世紀以上前の手法を用いた絵画である。宗教的な美学と政治、スポーツ、ポップカルチャーにおける第一人者たちを「イコン(偶像、聖画像)」化させることは、作者を夢中にさせた。

1990年代後半以降、作者は、ポップカルチャーが起こした現象の持つ社会政治的な含意と、そこに伴う特定のパラ(擬似)宗教的な機能を探求してきた。本書は、ここ数十年、教会が徐々にサッカーへと譲らざるを得なくなっている「ピッチ」をテーマに「プレイ」しており、2013年から2020年の間に作者が制作した70点以上の絵画シリーズが紡ぐ物語である。サッカー選手のソクラテス・ブラジレイロ・サンパイオ・ジ・ソウザ・ヴィエイラ・ジ・オリヴェイラ(Sócrates Brasileiro Sampaio de Souza Vieira de Oliveira)、ジネディーヌ・ジダン(Zinedine Zidane)、アンドレス・エスコバル(Andrés Escobar)...... 後光が差す肖像画群はそれぞれのストーリーを語りかけてくるが、作者が仰々しい図像で描いた宿命は......他でもない、ディエゴ・マラドーナ(Diego Maradona)、彼が一番である。後光は冗談でもパロディでもなく、自惚れでもなく、多くの人々にとって単なるエンターテイメント以上の意味を持つ、「イコン」たるものなのであろう。マラドーナの肖像は、制作されたチューリッヒのスタジオを出た後、ナポリに里帰りし、マラドーナの逝去に関連した無数の制作物が成す中に納められた。言及的な皮肉たっぷりの芸術作品から、真の宗教的な崇敬の対象、つまり「イコン」へと変貌を遂げたのである。

Since the late 1990s David Diehl’s work has explored the sociopolitical implications of pop-culture phenomena and their specific para-religious function. ICONS tells the story of a series of over seventy paintings (2013-2020) that thematically play on the pitch that in recent decades the Church has increasingly had to cede to football. Sócrates, Zidane, Andrés Escobar… Each haloed portrait tells a story of its own, but the fate of Diehl’s over-the-top iconographic rendering of – who else! – Diego Maradona takes the cake. After its release from the Zürich studio in which it was created, the image has now come home to Naples, where, in its myriad reproduced forms in connection with Maradona’s death, it has morphed from a referential tongue-in-cheek artwork to an object of real religious veneration: an icon.
