Alfredo Zanellato - Untitled

Regarding subjects depicting the artist's studio, we can begin with illustrious examples dating back to the 17th century, coinciding with the growing awareness of the artist's role: we can cite Vermeer's "The Artist's Studio" or Velázquez's "Las Meninas." This type of subject also enjoyed some success in the 19th century, with the advent of realist trends in European art history, and the most famous example remains Gustave Courbet's "The Artist's Studio."

The painter Alfredo Zanellato's style has a distinct personality, recognizable in all his works. First and foremost, his main characteristic is a remarkable penchant for textured pictorialism. Zanellato uses extremely dense and textured layers of color that create a raised pictorial surface. In this context, his artistic approach is also remarkably structural. Zanellato seeks not only to record the sensory data before him, but to understand and explore them in depth. Therefore, through his pictorial layering, he almost breaks down spaces, dividing them on the canvas and recomposing them according to a geometric rigor that undoubtedly draws inspiration from Cézanne. Textured painting achieves a remarkable synthesis of objects, and brushstrokes spread smoothly over plane, creating a complex space.

Alfredo Zanellato was born in Ariano Ferrarese in 1931, where he lives and works. Zanellato, whose long career has featured numerous exhibitions throughout Italy, is a recognized master of Expressionism. His paintings are distinguished by a pronounced material painterliness through which he explores reality.
