JAGO, the self-taught sculptor who wanted to be Michelangelo
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 06. 2017
- 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.

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
“The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.” -Michelangelo

Is this what Squidward taught spongebob?
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..
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 CZcamsrs' editing style.
That's the editor not the camera man you poo poo brain.
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.
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.
You can never be the next Michelangelo, but you are Jago. Forget about being Michelangelo, be better.
Asad Rafi You should have watched the video for at least a minute. He says @ 0:49 that even as a child he said.... I'll just let you watch it. Don't just read video titles, dude.
@@wellesradio I have watched the video. My comment is an inspiration for every reader.
@@asadrafi3577 Oh. Internet inspiration. The deepest kind of inspiration there is.
@@wellesradio 😂😂😂
Asad Rafi veryyyy inspiring
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.. 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
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.
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.
So you “love” Michaelangelo? Name one of his albums.
My favorites are probably _Marble Madness_ , _The Sculpture_ and _Living in the 1500's_
Creation of Adam ft. Eve
I liked Billie Jean and Thriller that's about what I can remember
@@FC13900 Dude Billie Jean isn't even an alb- nevermind 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
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
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".
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.
“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.
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...
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.
I love how excited he is and how he doesn't let living people change his art
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)
Queste sono le persone di cui ha bisogno questo Paese. Grazie.
xshirino non potrei essere più d'accordo. Fantastico artista e fantastico italiano.
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
For everyone calling out the cameraman let him be, he is an Italian after his espresso
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
platy pus
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.

00:47 Arthur's sword Excalibour as 20Century version
True lol
Akhskalibah
That's an AK47, how can you compare it to a sword?
This brilliant artist sculpts the truth the way he sees it with no apologies... love it!!!
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).
when you are a artist and speak a foreign language other than English, the combination is simply exquisite!!!
an amazing artist with passion and his own values. thanks for this upload
2:07 It's brilliant how he made the eyes look like they are following you wherever you go...
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!
radiating passion. i look up to this man
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.
I watched his reels on Instagram and he is self-taught?
This gives me a boost of confidence as a self-taught digital artist.
Keep grinding every day my fellow artists.
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
Round Square he actually talks quite slow ahahaha (I speak italian)
He has all of his fingers??
..this guy is a keeper.
A m a z i n g artist. No bullshit, great craft , powerful ideas.
I love the idea of art being a way to give people courage. Your work is wonderful. Thank you for sharing it.
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
Genius,.....no other way to describe his work. Bravissimo!
Well done my gd sir awesome sculptures
He's better than todays renowned sculptor with over the top expensive creations. I Hope he goes big someday
Eu queria muito ter essa coragem de largar tudo e com sorte ter conhecimento pelo trabalho. . .
Mas hoje estou num trabalho exaustivo completamente contrário do que eu imaginária a cerca de dois anos... É foda.

To the editor: man you have to make some pauses between the sentences, because I’m out of breath by just hearing him.
incredible, this guys shows what humans are capable of....
It’s nice to see someone being very passionate about something they love to do 😃
Stunning, beautiful works of art, Bravo Jago, bravo.
Camera work was done by the director of the Jason Borne films

It's rare to see a mix of pure energy and incredible patience like this.
Tous simplement magnifique !

Had to watch this twice.
Once to read everything he said since he speaks so fast and a second time to actually watch what he dpes
Consider me astonished. You are fantastically telented. Thank you for having the courage and conviction to do "your thing", and breathe life into these blocks of stone.
Such a good fella, decisive, talented, with vision. We need more people like this and 1000 x times less influencers and CZcamsrs.
The details on the pope's skin and his creepy eyes, I love it
Damn I want to buy that ak statue and put it in the middle of my room
Exactly
Great work, grazie 🇧🇷👍😁
Amazing work! Even though his ego is pretty out of hand, his work shows the effort he puts into it.
Un GENIO. Dal titolo in inglese pensavo fosse americano, mi ha fatto ancora più piacere scoprire che fosse italiano :)
Cerchiamo di riscoprire l' arte e cogliere il messaggio di questo ragazzo :)
U have my respect ✊🏿.
Love Jago’s attitude. Art school doesn’t make the artist ✌🏻💋
Jago sei bravissimo e sono orgoglioso che tu sia Italiano...ho lavorato molti anni fa alla Galleria Italiana Belle arti ed è magnifico vedere in un giovane come tè il sacro fuoco della passione per l'arte esprimersi liberamente e con tanta forza. Continua a stupirci...
This man should breathe life into every artist terrified by the rise of AI art. Nothing can steal your love for art if you have this kind of passion!
It can leave you broke and on the streets though
The pope statue is pretty creepy
So is religion.
look up uncanny valley
Happy Fuzzy only Islam dude
Every religion is creepy, ever stood in mass?
every sunday
Awesome! Maravilhoso! Magnifique! Stupendo!
WHY isn't this man famous?!?
We dwell over the past (that said, Michelangelo deserves absolutely all the praise and then some) and ignore all the magnificent talent of today!
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
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
But you're a modern Michel Angelo, Jago never seen such beautiful sculptures throughout my life and glad I came to know about you ❤️
Incredible. Haters will hate and most haters don't have the talent to create.
Guarda il mondo con i tuoi occhi non con quelli degli altri...pazzesco.
Hai ragione! Io spero di fare lo stesso e di avere fortuna con la composizione.
OMG, you are a born natural sclptor, all my wishes to achiving your goal, to be same as Michel Angelo
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!
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
1:57 You can tell he’s italian when he does that hand gesture
still with this idea? it's unbearable.
HaHaHa what a comedian.
I’m happy there are many talented sculptors. It’s such a beautiful piece of art and so difficult, kudos to him.
Grandissimo.. rispetto per te!
(Respect for you)🇮🇹
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
I didn’t know Michelangelo had power tools when he created his masterpieces
So beautiful!
Amazing!!!!! Fantastic!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!! BRAVISSIMO!!!!!!!
Wow! His method for sculpting the eyes so they follow you is brilliant!
Is this his idea or did it exist before?
yes. this is not this idea.
The Mona Lisa follows you too with her eyes ;)
Not the same thing though, dude. The Mona Lisa is a painting. Any painting or photo where the person is looking at the viewer will seem to follow you with their eyes. The biggest difference is that for a painting or photo, the face is seen the same as well. If the face is pointing toward you, the face will always be pointing toward you no matter what angle you view it from.
But with these sculptures, the way he has carved the eyes makes the subject of the sculpture seem to be moving his eyes to follow you without turning his head. I've never seen that before this but when you see how he did it you think, well of course. Why has no-one else thought of that?
Oh okay like that, thanks for the info!
l know this is going to sound silly but you can get that effect with a foam figurine, just make head, then add the eyes on top without other details like the nose or mouth and then add another layer but leave the eyes empty (like this artist), since the eyes are inside the trick is in the depth of the cavity so it´s fairly simple but you need to measure everything properly... or try over and over until you get it xD.
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
Skills at a different level. Amazing how can the human hand can interpret its own self. Something no other being can't do.
Fenomenale. Complimenti di Cuore
Man, he talks fast, at 75% speed still too fast for caption reading, super amazing although
A true artist doesn't give a poo about a certificate. Many people with certificates are NOT artists!
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.
Wonderful.
What an inspiration.
Great sculptor. Pure genius and a great determination for perfection.
His work reminds me of gialorenzo bernini.
👍🏽😊
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.
AntonioKowatsch also bernini

Wasn't Michelangelo in his 20s when he made David?
