Alberto Colusso - Watermelon and Bottle

The "Still Life" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the "Still Life" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory aspect.

Alberto Colusso's interpretation of still life and painterly expression is always recognizable and highly personal. First and foremost, we can see his highly naive approach, which leads him to simplify phenomenal reality with a refined spontaneity. The subject is simplified from life in a search for simple, primary values, which is also reflected in his choice of a pure color palette. Formally, we note a very lively pictorial style that uses rapid, cursive hatching to synthesize objects in a simple and immediate manner.

Alberto Colusso is an artist devoted almost exclusively to landscape and still life painting, which he interprets with pure, clear color and a naive simplification of reality. His pictorial style is imbued with an impressionistic spontaneity and immediacy.
