Angelo Manini - Still Life

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.

Artist Angelo Manini's aim is to offer a simplified interpretation of reality, seeking new values ​​of purity in representation. For this reason, his pictorial approach can be described as naïve, yet it is expressed through a highly classical and traditional approach. His language, in fact, is essentially figurative and finds its fullest expression in his famous clowns. However, the artist manages to infuse tradition with his originality and personal touch, precisely through his pursuit of purity in representation that defines his style. Concretely, this is expressed in a fluid technique that resolves objects with a dense and concrete layering. Thus, even in simplicity and purity, Manini manages to enhance the formal values ​​typical of still life. From a chromatic perspective, Manini's characteristic palette of bright and vibrant colors prevails.

Angelo Manini is a Roman painter with a remarkable technique for creating figurative paintings, especially landscapes and clowns. He achieves an excellent naturalistic rendering in his works thanks to the quality of his brushstrokes, full of vibrant light and color, and a strong realist streak that enlivens his creativity.
