Andrea Neri - The Red Ribbon

In the history of art, a clear distinction can often be made between figurative and abstract stylistic movements. However, when an artist's goal is to represent an object that resonates with phenomenal reality but is also charged with hidden and symbolic meaning, this boundary can become blurred. Symbolism and Expressionism are emblematic stylistic movements in their conceptual interpretation of reality, with an iconic rendering of images and a symbolic interpretation in the use of color.

Throughout his career, artist Andrea Neri has continually embraced new forms of communication and expression. Essentially, however, his artistic practice embodies certain elements that remain unchanged. For Andrea Neri, it is essential to create an image with expressive values ​​that transcend phenomenal reality, and that these values ​​fit within a shared and objective aesthetic. For this reason, in developing his images, Andrea Neri draws on the past, adapting it to a contemporary sensibility. Formally, his subjects possess an iconic, antique feel (in the elongated proportions and masked faces). This sense of antiquity is further confirmed by his application of the paint, in which Neri seeks a material consistency that simulates a genuinely antique patina. However, Neri's subjects also clearly bear witness to Cubism, in the graphic line that breaks down the figure according to multiple viewpoints, and Expressionism, in the accentuated synthesis of the subjects, achieved primarily through broken lines. In terms of color, Andrea Neri is skilled at choosing shades and combinations that add a touch of magic and surrealism.

Andrea Neri is an artist from Terracina open to a variety of techniques and multimedia experimentation. In the 1980s, he developed his most distinctive artistic form, "Frescoes and Encaustics," inspired by the techniques of ancient civilizations. In the late 1990s, he began experimenting with digital manipulation of photographs. Since 1983, he has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, both in Italy and abroad. He has participated in the Venice Biennale and several editions of the Arte Fiera in Bologna.
