Aladdin Ingrosso - Untitled

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

The painter Aladino's style, in much of his work, is characterized by the development of a strongly expressionist language. The artist seeks to go beyond what is perceived by the senses to extrapolate the true essence of reality and communicate it on canvas in a lively and dramatic manner. For this reason, through the application of color, he develops a highly synthesised process that reduces his subjects to dense, material layers, in which the painter's emotion is also a key element, conveyed through his brutal gestures. All these elements together constitute the expressionistic power of Aladino's painting, which is based on a deliberate regression of the pictorial image to a raw state, further exemplified by the accidental nature of the relief material. Aladino Ingrosso was a Salento artist originally from Lizzanello, born in 1924 and died in 2000. His artistic production focused on the existential representation of humble and popular figures. This led him to develop a brutal expressionism based on a deliberate regression from pictorial representation and the use of a remarkably textured approach.
