Alessandra Greco - Untitled

The work draws on an Informal aesthetic language. The devastation wrought by World War II left a profound mark on Western civilization, which in the visual arts also resulted in an inability to communicate. For some artists, this challenge led to a complete rejection of any visual language, resulting in the birth of Informal Art. The various Informal movements are certainly connected to American Abstract Expressionism, especially with regard to the gestural component, but they go further in their rejection of any figurative element, even geometric. Their research focuses instead on the material from which their works are composed.

Alessandra Greco's informal art develops through a perceptive exercise. The artist begins by acquiring sensory data and reworks it according to her own personal experience. Thus, this composition definitively loses contact with phenomenal reality, translating into a pure transposition of matter, sign, and gesture. Alessandra Greco seeks to capture the impression of the reality around him, but this leads him to completely disintegrate form and translate his perception directly into pictorial gesture. In this painting, Alessandra Greco seems to hark back to a pictorial style typical of American Abstract Expressionism. The painter's gestures, expressed through action-painting interventions on a deep red surface, are controlled and balanced by the presence of black marks, the only concession to figuration.

Alessandra Greco was born in Salerno in 1986. She studied science, but then, given her penchant for drawing, specialized in interior design at the Faculty of Architecture in Naples. After meeting the painter Giancarlo Pignataro, she began to express, through color and painting, everything she felt inside. Her works are a personal representation of the world around us, in the form of colorful impulses.
