Pomodoro's art, once purged of its oversophisticated form (one must remember the artist's long practice as a jeweler), reclothes itself in naturalistic allusion and surreal hints. These do not impinge on the necessary structure of the image, but determine the disposition of the sign whose shifting position in the context produces new combinations. In this way, the act of bestowing form tends to be replaced by that of signifying, and plastic values yield to those of calligraphy. Because of the rapid turnover in so-called avantgarde art (Pomodoro has already changed considerably), it is hard to foresee the solution of this radical subverting of traditional techniques. We must wait and see.
