JAGO, the self-taught sculptor who wanted to be Michelangelo
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Jago is a self-taught sculptor from Ciociaria. He’s thirty years old and since he was a child, dreamed of being like Michelangelo. Art, for him, is a way to find courage thanks to the example set be the great masters of the past. His artwork is based on a constant study on perception: changing the shape of matter, making a stone soft, to astonish and to show that the world isn’t just what it seems to be. His sculpture of Pope Ratzinger was not accepted by the Vatican because the eyes had holes in them, this was in homage to Adolf Wildt, the Pope never even saw the artwork. Years later, Jago, who had refused to fill in the eyes, was finally awarded the Accademia Pontificia prize. And when the Pope resigned, stripping himself of his robes, Jago did the same to his sculpture.
We followed Jago from his studio in Anagni to Milan, at the Galleria Montrasio Arte, where his solo exhibition is being held.

Is this what Squidward taught spongebob?
I wasn't sure if he was truly Italian until 1:58
Lol
I already knew what was gonna happen before I checked and it made it even funnier
That should be a handmoji
What does an Italien call a broken arm?
A speech impediment.
@@smoog thats awesome. I'm using that lol
this comment is underrated
You can feel his passion for his work while he's talking
Caszini nah, that’s just cause he’s italian. He’d sound the same ordering at a Taco Bell drive-thru
Lou Skunt imagine the drug thru workers just tearing up because of this man talking to them about the art of chicken nuggets
@@rexnickles2 I am Italian and I can confirm that
The Italian hand thing makes your statement even more true.
It's not that hard to seem passionate it's the work that should speak for the artist..
Mr editor, don't do cocaine in this type of videos, i know is cool but we need to see the sculptures more than 2 seconds.
LOL thats like most editors
E R dafuq wrote this.... this fax
You're viewing too slow.
That's what I hate about all movies nowadays. They only show a shot for like 2 seconds and do too many camera angles. Like let's just see the scenery, bitch!
Exactly, please use weed instead.
Video editor, please slow down. Enjoy nature. Breathe...
JK lol
He was going with the rhythm lol
Slow down, you move too fast. Gotta make the moment last..
For real tho I put it on 50% speed to read what the guy was saying
I reduced speed to 0.5 and it looked OK.
My man seems to be keeping it real with himself. While others are calling him talkative, I see and hear his passion. ❤️
“...astonish people. Art is a great way to give people courage.”
Whoever believes Art is all talk and no action, ima assassinate them. Turn them into a mosaic that looks like me and call that piece: "A Bloody Figure." Now that is ART.
This is the kind of artist that should be promoted worldwide. Absolutely magnificent work.
This is really bad.
Fran Rod
Agree. This is really bad.
Why is it bad?
@@ancientgear7192 they don't know either. Either they are internet trolls or even worse, admirers of the modern and postmodern art.
And what are modern and postmodern art? Styles of art with close-to-zero true artistic skill, knowledge and hardship, but are full of the so called "artistic pseudo-intellectualism". What is that? That is when they try to (directly but more often indirectly) convince you of existence of "deepness", "message" or "meaning". But all that is simply not verifiable, not provable as many rightfully say, modern and postmodern art is full of pretentiousness and artist's (ir critics's) arrogance.
@@guyincognito8440 you don't know shit anyway.
Why is the camerawork so spastic? I'd like to be able to look at the sculptures longer than 2 seconds at a time.
Yes, especially for those of us who have to read the captions too.
I think they want to keep in theme with the sculptors fast talking and firey character.
Then press the Pause button
They're trying to copy big RUclipsrs' editing style.
That's the editor not the camera man you poo poo brain.
So you “love” Michaelangelo? Name one of his albums.
My favorites are probably _Marble Madness_ , _The Sculpture_ and _Living in the 1500's_

You can never be the next Michelangelo, but you are Jago. Forget about being Michelangelo, be better.

Asad Rafi veryyyy inspiring
“Jago” is literally means “skilled/mastering something” in Indonesian Language
I was about to comment the same thing. Jago doesn't necessarily mean "mastering" but more like very good or skilled at something just like you've mentioned.
What a coincidence
And a name to call a rooster "ayam jago"
Me, being Indonesian with the full grasp of the Indonesian language: *what rlly........ OH YEAHH*
Mantap bang Jago.
Great work... and wanting to be the next michelangelo is much less pretencious than pissing in a jarr and call it art...
fndalves but aiming to be the next Michelangelo is still pretentious
I respect him for trying.... even if he fails, he will produce wonders...
You're insane. And have no touch of anything close to artistic in your mind.
Sadly he will never be the next
Michelangelo, Michelangelo is so famous simply because he came from a time where education and materials were so rare, that his talent and means to dedicate the massive amount of time into his projects have engraved him in our society as a master artist. There have been better after him, but he is the first, his skill is still so unstressably impressive and maybe even beyond that of those who made better work after his passing just because he pioneered, not perfected.
Modern art is a disgrace to everything our ancestors have done
1:58 as someone who teaches art to kids, showing your work to students is a lovely way to conect with them and an even better way to actually show them that you know what you're talking about. Jago's teacher was a bad teacher.
To be honest, that kindda teacher isnt so bad maybe he had a flaw that he didnt want his student to follow,etc and i believe he still gives you another example Although it wasn't his work...anyway it still much better than a teacher who showed you his work and use it as a sole boundaries of good and bad art..so basically its his way to do art and his style or you're a failure...
Both of what you described sound like terrible teachers !
I think he had a wonderful teacher. Because his teacher understood he was just a student and in doing so he became a master student by lighting this fire under Jago. Jago doesn’t see this now but hopefully when he is old and grey he will look back at his teacher and understand why things happened the way they did and perhaps there was no other way to have made Jago into his wishes of becoming who he wanted to be in life other than the path that he went on…
Hmm .. I think there isn't quite a black and white of good or bad in a mentor showing their works. I remembered how when I was an art student, knowing each lecturer's portfolio totally made me and other students pander to the each lecturer's personal taste to gain higher evaluation. A good student shouldn't do this, but sometimes when drowning in assignments we simply didn't have enough time to think of a polished concept, therefore the shortcut is to use concepts we know surely favorable to the lecturer. That's the bad side of students knowing 'an example'. The good side, of course students have a point of reference. So it's something ambiguous, and even now as a mentor myself, I sort of unconciously choose which students I show my work to. Those good enough I let them go without seeing my work unless they ask me to (I'm not exactly hiding them, I guess just in the hubbub of intros and sessions the topic of my own portfolio kinda got swept away. Moreover, they can easily look me up online). Conversely though, those lacking will get shown my work as an example of the standard I'm looking for, as well as the pitfalls to watch out. So yeah.. sometimes a mentor not showing their work may also mean that they deem the student is just fine and forgot that no matter how inconsequential, any reference is always a good input.
I agree with you, but can't really agree with any of the replies to your comment @Jixter. I had multiple design professors whose feedback to multiple students seemed less than informed or even valid, and after trying to find their own work to back their pompous attitudes, I couldn't find any or, in one professor's case, her "portfolio" consisted of her critiques of her student's work! So yeah, sharing one's actual work is important as a teacher because it establishes credibility. Regarding a reply from a previous commenter: A good teacher also won't cause student's to cater to their design sensibilities, but will rather provide an environment that encourages a variety of styles.
What I noticed with his works compared to Michelangelo's is that he focuses more on the outside (the looks of the skin) while Mikey focuses in the inside (how muscles interact with each other). It's nice that he's looking up to Mikey because Mikey is one of the best sculptors of all time.
Michaelangelo was one of the first anatomists, who dissected corpses and drew them, in defiance of the Church. This is what made his sculptures look so alive, ironically, his studies of the dead…
@@PsychicIsaacs Wasnt that Da Vinci?
@@PsychicIsaacs
You are mistaken.
This guy is 10,000x better than Michelangelo or any of those who came before him.
This guy is able to add more detail to his sculptures because he uses powertools while Michelangelo had only a hammer and a chisel, i'm sure if Michelangelo had powertools he would have added more detail to the skin.
All artist are self taught.
Even in University with 2k students often one will rise among them.
Meaning: Lessons, books, guides, etc only show you the way.
The rest is solely based on your level of focus, passion and drive.
Never compare yourself to another.
You will never add up.
Be your best self.
Then continuously strive to be better than that.
Maravilloso y espectacular
do you knoe da wei?
Thank you.
I was about to comment the same thing
Shut UP.
WOW he is so talented that skin texture is AMAZING 😻
The problem is that u dont do that on a sculpture. His sculpture is too static and all the wrinkles make this into pure kitsch art.
In reality this is a REALLY bad sculpture
@Fran Rod Why it is bad?
Fran Rod
And you’re a fucking dumbass.
@@adrikitoEstá lleno de detalles pero carece de sensibilidad artística.
Al menos está es mi opinión.
He is truly a great modern sculptor. Michelangelo would have been proud. Amazing dedication to his craft. I think his best work is still ahead of him.
Michelangelo wouldn't have been proud. Michelangelo would've been jealous!
@@charlesbell5500 Jealous? of an amanteur sculptor like this? hahaha no fucking way dude.. Michelangelo would been Jealous of masters like Bernini and Carpeaux about their best sculptures
@@charlesbell5500I was thinking the same. Michelangelo was bullying Da Vinci in art school, saying to him to quit art because he has no talent and he is no real artist.
Michelangelo was a legendary master of art, but... Da vinci was a genius in almost every possible domain at that time, sooo he wasn't just an art master, he was something Michelangelo wasn't.
For everyone calling out the cameraman let him be, he is an Italian after his espresso
I love how excited he is and how he doesn't let living people change his art
Forget Michelangelo, I wanna be Jago! The detail on his work is astonishing and you can just feel his passion in your bones!
Have you see Michelangelo’s work in person?
Even with all the details, he's not in Michelangelo's level where he can make marble look soft like silk, where his sculptures seem like real people turned to marble.
Jago's too symetrical and you know they're statues.
@@RejectHumanityReturn2Monke I believe that if the artworks of the two were swapped you would still think this way simply because we have a bias when it comes to the old and traditional
@@MrRendeer they are both excellent and something I could never do. However, Michelangelo’s knowledge of anatomy and contrapposto was astonishing.
Artists had apprentices, many of the great pieces of art we admire were not created by a single person. Much of the tedious work was taken care of by those coming up - we now have power tools, that remove much of the burden of the tedious tasks allowing a single skilled individual to see many projects to completion.
He wants to be like Michelangelo in respect to art, not in respect to living in a century he does not.
A true artist is one who creates their own method while taking examples/inspirations from past artists, & knows when they need to pave their own path with their own strength. Jago is one such true artist.
why is no one appreciating his talent, everyone is like “his fans are spiteful” “i bet he could talk all day”
He's incredibly talented.
the answer is B. because most people are spiteful and are probably jealous of the passion he has for art
He has amazing craftsmanship, he uses modern tools and technics that elevate the realism of his work. The thing is, I can 3d print a sculpture that looks even better than his sculptures and since that's what he's striking for, his works becomes as memorable as the time lapses he records, his sculptures won't be on museums or galleries simply because there's no point in that, there's no way he can influence the art world
And what are you doing.
@@狐火 as a very spiteful and envious person: yeah
That is what I call talent. He is gifted. BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope he will find the recognition he deserves.
He is garbage
@@franrod5227 Why do you think so? What he is doing seems to be very difficult and time consuming. And the result is really good - much better than the work of other established sculptors, in my opinion.
Konstantinos Papaioannou
No. You can find better sculpting out of any third world countries. They are just not recognized as much or having the mean to promote their work.
Fran Rod you are garbage
It's not "talent". It's hard work and dedication; don't sit there and discredit that work with that foolish word, "talent".
Bravo ...he admires Michelangelo...all artists wish to be like him...it's not arrogance to set a high goal for yourself...it's important to continue to learn...Complimenti...continua così...
Wow.. it's very hard to read the subtitle while you look at those amazing sculptures, Watching this video once is not enough.
Crippling Depression you look at the subtitle when you read it?
Weakling
Welcome to the world of a non english speaker
Crippling Depression when he can make those sculptures with just a hammer and a chisel with no power tools he’ll be as good as Michael Angelo
Ahh... the next generation...
I guess you didn't grow up with animes on internet
I have to agree though, the sculptures have way more texture than I've ever seen. Watching only one time is not enough
this man is the embodiment of italian art. hearing him speak and thinking about what he says and his thoughts is what it feels like to be in italy (at least for me)
This brilliant artist sculpts the truth the way he sees it with no apologies... love it!!!
Queste sono le persone di cui ha bisogno questo Paese. Grazie.
xshirino non potrei essere più d'accordo. Fantastico artista e fantastico italiano.
when you are a artist and speak a foreign language other than English, the combination is simply exquisite!!!
His work is amazing and he has so much determination and passion omfg, idk why ppl are hating on him so much
Jealousy = haters
Because he’s full of himself, but yeah I agree, he’s extremely talented

It is bad.
Giulia B being full of yourself isn’t really a bad thing. Not everyone is humble and has 0% confidence in themselves.
hrh archidiocèse de Glenovia Uhh not being full of yourself doesn’t mean that you haven’t got any confidence
All my Italian relatives talk at the speed of light, and at the same time as one another 😂 I love his passion. A piece of paper doesn't make you an artist, your passion and drive does. This is something I'm learning now after art school (which taught me nothing that I couldn't have taught myself, I just needed that piece of paper for jobs).
To the people who seem scandalized by Jago leaving school and how "he wants to be better than Michelangelo. " I believe people need to chill, this man seems to have taken all he could learn from school. It is clear that he has a strong understanding of the basics and obviously felt stagnated if he kept being taught under the strict rules those classical schools put on students. It's like, why continue to sculpt with working conditions that only lets you produce one to two pieces at a time instead of upgrading the tools (like the vacuum and electric drills) to cut time in half and work on even more projects. Clearly, it's the professors who are scandalized and probably even a bit jealous that this young upstart is honing his skills at a much faster pace than they ever did ( just because he decided to think outside the box). Good for him for not following those old farts. Also, I do not see him at all being disrespectful to the great artist. I see him as being inspired by him, he even says he wishes that he was able to see a time lapse of Michelangelo at work? Anyways, bless him for having that level of passion for his craft, it's admirable to see that in a person.
PS: Also... people tend to forget that Michelangelo would often break with tradition if a new method/technique was beneficial to him. :/
HonestOpinion22 yeah. Everyone is busy getting offended so they can't see that he isn't being dissrecpectful, or boasting. He is saying his opinion about the school, saying how inspired he is by michelangelo, and how good he wants to become. Not a single bad thing was said in this video
I totally agree with what you said. I'd also add... That old masters used what they had and could at that time, imagine them seeing us these days using a cheesel and a hamer and refusing to use power tools just because we want to be like them, they would laugh their asses for sure 😂 we can show respect for what they did in many ways and we can try or learn their ways and technics for personal pleasure, education, dedication or just for fun but not waste our lifes doing 3 or 4 scuptures the whole life wasting time and talent, just because we want to use old tools.
an amazing artist with passion and his own values. thanks for this upload
I had a negative experience with my art teacher too : at the start of the year she said something like "in all the years artists endured oppression and had to struggle and now we can finally express ourselves" A half year later we all could make a picture to present it for a year in the shool. We could choose whatever we wanted everyone drew what the teacher wanted (some formless fantasies ) but I drew a robot holding a mobile phone with neon all over beghind him i saying "Robo Invasion!" [ it was before smartphones and chatbots ~ 1999 ^^] So what happene everyone who drew like that teacher could present it to the school and they forbid it that I could use my picture. Thats what made me quit and I never studied art like I wanted to afterwards because I knew you always can come to that kind "anti teacher" or even worse a Professor who judges over you .
Art can't be taught its in your heart already and techniques can be learned today by those awesome tutorials all around anyways.
I agree
Sometimes its the teacher and their ego that creates boundaries that should never existed in art... atleast in jago case the teacher wants his student to be free from his (the teacher ) style, mine was its his style or not whatsoever...
So you learned through schooling that art is in fact oppressed.
radiating passion. i look up to this man
Total devotion to detail.... that's the key to fantastic art-and artswork! Unbelievable! Amazing! Fantastic! Also perfect craftsmanship. What he is able to do with stone is truly unique. I could hardly believe it!

He's better than todays renowned sculptor with over the top expensive creations. I Hope he goes big someday
I love the idea of art being a way to give people courage. Your work is wonderful. Thank you for sharing it.

We dwell over the past (that said, Michelangelo deserves absolutely all the praise and then some) and ignore all the magnificent talent of today!
talk about fast talker. The text flies by.
Ikr I'm struggling to read the captions
Italians speak like this
Thats italian for you
Yeah, it was easy for me because I understood most of what he said (my first language is very similar to Italian), and the rest I just read it with the corner of my eye

Such a good fella, decisive, talented, with vision. We need more people like this and 1000 x times less influencers and RUclipsrs.
He has all of his fingers??
..this guy is a keeper.
What an inspiration! The fact that he edited the Pope sculpture after they turned him down shows he's insane. Greatness is when craziness meets success. He's great. I will astonish people with my drawings. I will give them courage with my art. God bless! 🙏👊
If Michaelangelo had all the fancy power tools we have today, he would be unsurpassed. Try doing the whole thing with the same tools they had back then and see how you get on. ;)
Great work all the same. Very realistic.
The pope sculpture is made with chisel and hammer
A.I companies and end users will NEVER understand this. This kind of passion is what drives art, and the craftsmen that make it. Art is culture, it's humanity, it's soul. *Art is human. NO MACHINE CAN FAKE THAT.*
Them ai art companies only do it out of profit. I don't even know why they automate things that are not necessarily need to be automated, especially 2d images.
@@pyophyo8901 it's a 50/50 chance that ai would success, or will just vanish, like the other types of art who people thought would replace the traditional art, or maybe people will start making cp with ai, pretty fucked up

The details on the pope's skin and his creepy eyes, I love it
I love when people are passionate about something. I support this dude to the end.
Eu queria muito ter essa coragem de largar tudo e com sorte ter conhecimento pelo trabalho. . .

Damn I want to buy that ak statue and put it in the middle of my room
Exactly
YOU are amazing!! This is proof that just because the techer isn't ready for you to try that you shouldn't. Just amazing artistry!
I bet he can talk all day...
I would hope so. Now go back to your couch and stick to making your art on the toilet.
LOL
I like his work but not his energy
its a mixture of both the editing the erractic mannerism italiettos are known for. it doens't mean he is chatty. he is just not subdued and neutered like the Brits
The average italian talks that much
That's the type of passion that builds cities and countries...:)...That is true passion...
His passion is blinding him from seeing what his work lacks. He should concentrate on learning more than doing.
LOL...Dude, I've been a student of art for over 4 decades...Who could teach him? You?...LOL...I don't see the video praising your work on here...~ smirk~ This dude is a natural...You can NEVER teach that...If you can't recognize his talent; it's YOU that needs the "learning"...
Your mistaken, artistry can be taught, it just takes knowing what to learn and than applying hard work and effort to learn it. I'm just saying he's blinding himself because of his comment claiming he's better than old masters when his work is obviously lacking and he's become a slave to the dremel to surprise viewers with inaccurately designed details, just because you can't see it means you don't have sophisticated taste with art works and is not my problem which makes your sophomoric personal attack on me a red herring. Also, If he was such a natural, even with today's technology, his sculpture would have been received by the pope and been neighbor to the likes of other masters work, and not rejected. There must be something the masters understood that he still can't see. Also, there are hundreds of artists who are more insane than this guy, he has potential as a artists apprentice where he can grow, not so much a master which he claims, and if he's claiming to be a master than this is the highest level of his work possible, and people like you are only confirming this option in his path in life and that is sad. However I do agree with him in one thing, and that's art colleges are utter trash and to add to that, a money grab.
I'll stipulate artistry can be taught If you'll concede that there are such things as natural self taught artist whom are just as great as the greatest "taught" artist...I am an Artist in many mediums...I recognize great talent too...This guy is on the same plane as the greatest artist ever in history...There's a saying; " Those who can't do; teach"
I agree that there are those who have a knack for it or a natural talent as you might say even at a young age. The artist with the natural talent wouldn't know their talent if they didn't discover it preferably early on, also you not only need to discover it, you have to hone it, to continue doing it and mastering your talent. This guys work is far from the greatest ever in history especially when his finest piece has so much flaws in the fundamentals required to make such a precision piece. If you dare make a portrait with an exorbitant amount of detail, than do so with precision.
I didn’t know Michelangelo had power tools when he created his masterpieces
I can see why the pope didn't like it. He turned the pope into a haunting figure of the undead. Incredibly talented, but not what mom would want in her home. His creations are something that the sculpting world has never scene, in particular the delicate micro skin texturing that really brings his creations down to earth, maybe even below. Where as, the classical sculptors of old tried to achieve godly perfection in raising the human form to as high of a heavenly level as possible. Can't wait to see more from this passionate artist.
i love his ideology and yes hose eye look borderline creepy but also kind and gentle i can´t explain it this man is a master even michelangelo would tip his hat to to me as a starting sculptor only thing i can do is bow
Amazing artist. The details.. each line. Wow.
U have my respect ✊🏿.
Amazing work! Even though his ego is pretty out of hand, his work shows the effort he puts into it.
It’s possible for him to be both an insanely talented artist and an arrogant/annoying person. Those are not mutually exclusive qualities
That's what got me too. I don't think he would understand the word humble
Well..... He is really good at what he does.
It's not arrogance, just pure passion.
He knows he’s good, and we can all agree he’s good, so I don’t see a problem with him having an ego
Well, he have something he can boast about
Jago, sei lo scultore contemporaneo più favoloso che abbia mai visto e che essere autodidatta ti rende un colosso tra i più grandi scultori della storia.
Guarda il mondo con i tuoi occhi non con quelli degli altri...pazzesco.
I’m happy there are many talented sculptors. It’s such a beautiful piece of art and so difficult, kudos to him.
Why are the eyes of the pope statue moving. Its literally following the camera
Watch the video, the eyes are holes
they are not moving, it's a perspective illusion
Because hes a hella good artist.
A picture on a wall does the same
Bro, I feel so sad that I hear about this man now. I hope more people will hear about him, his work is fucking amazing

HaHaHa what a comedian.
Remember friends for every person who dropped out of school and became famous in their field there are literally tens of thousands of others who ended up working in retail to avoid starving.
*fun fact* : "Jago" means "skilled", "capable" in my language
Indonesia?
Stunning, beautiful works of art, Bravo Jago, bravo.
everyone wants to be someone else. be yourself.
He had the vision to make his own place for himself in the world. Mad inspiring. He makes what he makes because he must.
This is way different from Michelangelo's artworks... His is more define and detailed at every texture.
yeah, but of course there will be a difference in style and focus, they're different artists. He's clearly inspiredby him, though.
Modern tools make huge difference
The are just concave. Same way furries make the eyes move in fursuits
A genius at his craft, I applaud to you JAGO!
It's pretty good but but then again; Michelangelo wasn't the best sculptor to walk the earth. Just the most popular one. In terms of sheer talent no one beats Giovanni Strazza.
That makes absolutely no sense.

that isn't true, people with certs need it because they want art to be their career as well as their passion, getting a cert doesn't anyone less of an artist. the guy in the video doesn't need to be employed to sculp so its one of the reasons why he doesn't have it.
OMAE WA MOU SHINDERU oh wow, people don’t need certificates to make it a career. It’s facist and snooty. True talent can’t be learned, that’s what art is. I’m not knocking the people who went to art school. Just the same, don’t knock people who didn’t, there are tons of exceptional, self taught, gifted, natural artists.
It is true! I said many artists NOT all!
Flo Florence ah sorry I read it wrong, makes sense now
ugh. go away.
Tous simplement magnifique !
