Alvaro Peppoloni - Sleep

The human figure has always been at the center of artistic research. Since the classical age, the naturalistic rendering of human anatomy has been a primary goal of painters and sculptors throughout history. The representation of the nude is the ultimate expression of this aspiration, pervasive across all eras and stylistic trends. Indeed, in addition to the naturalistic interpretations of the Renaissance and various classicisms, which aimed for a truthful and detailed representation of the human body, the nude has also been a central figure in the new aesthetic concepts brought about by the historical avant-garde, such as Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism.

Alvaro Peppoloni's artistic practice draws heavily from medieval art, from 14th- and 15th-century frescoes, from which he also draws on techniques and pigments. Indeed, in his compositions we find a purity of line, a geometric rationalism that abstracts the perceptible world into a decidedly metaphysical vision. Peppoloni reinterprets this purity and essentiality of lines and volumes in his own original vision, informed by a more contemporary sensibility. In his works, therefore, the sense of abstraction increases, as does the expressive value and complexity of his pictorial approach. This is evident in the palette of this painter, who favors bold polychromes that detach themselves from phenomenological reality to acquire a definitively spiritual value.

Born in Spello in 1951, Alvaro Peppoloni is a painter who lives and works in Castel Ritaldi. Peppoloni uses the fresco technique, declaring his preference for it "for the pleasure of the undefined nature of things, the possibility of glimpses and imaginations; and for the sense of experience that the work conveys." For the artist, painting means being able to communicate his emotions through the canvas. It means being able to relive his happy childhood through color, and recount his moments of solitude through the metaphysical image of a farmhouse and nature.
