Amedeo Ruggiero - Flowers

Flowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also becomes a way of interpreting reality.

Amedeo Ruggiero subjects the perceptible world to a remarkable process of synthesis. His is a decidedly expressionist language that resolves itself in the reduction of the painted subjects to their very essence. Thus, the painter completely undermines perspective space and operates in a two-dimensional space where objects instinctively overlap. This instinctiveness is also evident in his pictorial approach, characterized by long, textured brushstrokes. The color palette is vibrant with hues with emotional and spiritual references.

Amedeo Ruggiero was born in Tunis in 1912 and died in Rome in 1986. In 1929, he fled Tunis and moved to France, where he lived between Nice and Paris and studied at the Ecole de Beaux Artes directed by Armand Vergeaud. His first exhibition was at the Galeries De La Rotonde. In 1939, Amedeo Ruggiero exhibited in Nice at the Palais De La Mediterranee. He later moved to Rome, where he remained for most of his life. His first exhibition in Italy took place in 1943 at the Salone del Mare Nostro in Milan, and in 1944, his first show in Rome was held at the Galleria La Campana.
