Acrylic on canvas, mixed media, (175cm x 155cm (69” x 61”)).
In Johannes Vermeer’s “The Geographer” (1669), a pensive young man pauses, compass in hand, over an unrolled map, his gaze drawn in thought to the view through his window. It is to this window, re-lit in the four colors of the Microsoft logo, that Vito Di Bari draws his own viewer’s eye. From here, the eye looks across to the bespectacled figure of the young Bill Gates, one hand holding a pen, the other resting on a computer mouse. A left-hander, Gates puts his mark on the image, requiring Di Bari to flip the composition so that Gates can recreate the geographer’s pose. Caught in a moment of creative inspiration, Gates appears like an artist. Vermeer sought to paint ‘as a window on the world’ and it is the defining impact of Gates’ Windows software, through which so many receive and represent the world, that this artwork invites us to contemplate.
