Alvaro Peppoloni - The Scent of Autumn

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.

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.
