Antonello Capozzi - Composition 403.0318

The work draws on an Informal aesthetic language. The devastation wrought by World War II left a profound mark on Western civilization, which in the visual arts also resulted in an inability to communicate. For some artists, this challenge led to a complete rejection of any visual language, resulting in the birth of Informal Art. The various Informal movements are certainly connected to American Abstract Expressionism, especially with regard to the gestural component, but they go further in their rejection of any figurative element, even geometric. Their research focuses instead on the material from which their works are composed.

In this work, Antonello Capozzi confirms his artistic language, based on an informal aesthetic, yet filtered through a personal reworking. Capozzi's informal style is based on thick, textured brushstrokes that become structure. In this case, the painter uses them to create a composition of objects, transfiguring all phenomenal reality into his informal poetics. As usual, dripping intervenes in a second phase to enhance the composition's expressionism.

Antonello Capozzi is a painter, sculptor, printmaker, and draftsman born in Pisticci, Basilicata, in 1972. He trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. Capozzi's canvases testify to new aesthetic codes. They are the product of a rapidly evolving reality in search of a new language.
