Angelo Di Santo - Clown

The clown was a popular subject among genre painters of the 1970s and 1980s. Many artists dedicated much of their careers to depicting this theme, Romano Mussolini being a prime example. Typically, the interpretation of this subject is similar for all artists who tackle it: the clown appears with his makeup designed to evoke laughter and hilarity, but instead displays a melancholic expression. This contrast is intended to spark an empathetic dialogue with the viewer.

Angelo Di Santo's artistic language is grounded in color and, in particular, its application. It can be said, without a doubt, that for this artist, the brushstroke has a clearly structural function. The brushstroke is broad, dense with color, and positioned on different levels to construct the subject in a colorful and multifaceted way. The result is the composition of an image that is aesthetically harmonious and balanced, yet possesses great expressive and poetic vigor.

Painter Angelo Di Santo is a highly regarded and multifaceted personality. He has exhibited his work in numerous solo and group shows in cities such as Rome, Milan, and Lyon. His work has also been recognized at events in South America and Martinique. Angelo Di Santo is also well-known in the theater world as an actor and for directing the play "Riflessione" at the Élysée Theater in 1972.
