Once upon a time...a mask!

★Bio
Mark Jakel aka Marco Maldera is originally from Rome, Italy, where he studied Science of Cultural Arts at Universita La Sapienza of Rome. As far back as he can remember, he was always sketching.. Yet it wasn't till after college when he really began to focus on his painting and discovered his niche in the art world. When he came to NYC he started to push himself into galleries and share his art with others. Yet as much as he enjoys his paintings, one day he would like to create films based around the concepts that inspired his art...
★Once upon a time a mask...
The mask represents the key to reading Mark Jakel's art, born from the fusion of elements that strike his inspiration. The character that lives in his paintings has a deformity that is hidden by the mask in seek of revenge...In general, the mask represents the revenge driven by the rejection from society; this style of vengeance is inspired by particular 70's & 80's film genres such as: Blacksplotation, Cannibal films, Nazipolotion, Mondo films, Sexpoltation, Slasher, Spaghetti Westerns, film Polizzioteschi and Splatter films...generally from the world of cinema.The elements derived from Jakel's inspiration are from such things found in films like Eraserhead and Noh (a traditional Japanese musical drama), as well as from Japanese Geishas. In David Lynch's Eraserhead there is a woman who dubbed "The Lady in the Radiator"; it was her inflamed face and deformity that sparked what became such a main focus of his paintings. Yet the Noh or Nogaku masks is what made and hid the mystery of the deformity. As for the geishas, it was their soft, yet bright, distinctive colors that inspires him...

Dressed to kill review by Mark Jakel

postato da Mark Jakel [12/05/2011 04:01]

Dressed to kill is a 1980's movie directed by Brian de Palma starring Michael Caine, Angie Dickinson and Nancy Allen. Actually i just seen it for the first time a couple of weeks ago... and i was really impressed for a lot of reasons... First this movie is really well done, every shot is a piece of art, every sequence has some kind of brilliant (or maybe not who cares) ideas and plus the photography is just amazing and plus the Pino Donaggio score match perfectly i really recommend you this movie! The only problem is the following: After watching this kind of movie i usually (and i guess everybody should) start to wondering why????!!!!!! Why do they stop to make movie of this kind?
