Description of the work
Description of the work
The human figure has always been at the center of artistic research. Since the age
classical naturalistic rendering of human anatomy was one of the goals
main painters and sculptors of all times. The representation of the figure
feminine is an expression of this aspiration, transversal to all
eras and all stylistic currents. In fact, in addition to the interpretations
naturalistic, typical of the Renaissance and of the various classicisms, which aim to
a truthful and detailed representation of the human body, the figure
feminine has also been a protagonist within the new concepts
aesthetics brought by the historical avant-gardes, such as Cubism,
in Expressionism and Surrealism. The female figure is at the center of Antonietta Corsini's artistic production, in her experimentation stretched between
naturalistic rendering and images of memory.
The artist Antonietta Corsini is also specialized in the production of
watercolor, and he was able to interpret this technique by enhancing its
characteristics in a vision with modern and original features. We can
to note in his scenes of daily life, where the representation of the
female figure unites with that of nature: the painter starts from reality and
transfigures it into the intense expressionism of his watercolor technique.
reality thus becomes a total pictorial vibration with decidedly distinctive connotations
existential, the result of an exercise of pure perception by the artist. From
formally speaking, all this is explained by taking it to its maximum consequences
the expressive potential of diluted color. The refined sensitivity of
Antonietta Corsini expresses herself in recording the action of light on things, but
This exercise is carried out with a strong poetic sense that conforms the
representation of sensory data. Thus the light almost dissolves the objects,
transferring them into the timeless dimension of memory. Light and color
they act in unison and this means enhancing the art of watercolour in a
coherent representation that maintains its connection with reality, but the
transfers into a highly lyrical dimension.
Antonietta Corsini was born in Rimini, where she lives and works. She graduated in Painting.
at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, he began to exhibit his works at
starting from the 90s. Since his first solo and group exhibitions, the artist
creates essential and evocative images that address, in a careful and
sensitive, the themes of family affections, everyday life and memory.
In the 90s he created a series of Mater that celebrate the theme of
motherhood, female generativity and the unique and sacred relationship that binds
Mother and son. Specialist in ancient painting techniques, she collaborates exclusively with
from 1999 to 2004 with Edizioni Musei Vaticani for the reproduction of some
masterpieces kept in the Vatican Pinacoteca. Corsini thus began to favor
techniques from a distant past, focusing on research and
recovery of procedures derived from ancient treatises, with the aim of evoking
suggestive atmospheres and to obtain unique pictorial effects. In particular, the works
on wood and parchment they resume the use of egg tempera on the background
gilded according to the dictates of tradition. Since 2008, he has been experimenting with art
sacred through works of religious subject and artistic and decorative interventions in modern places of worship which are characterised by the vitality and topicality of the
Christian message, interpreted by the artist in the light of his profound
spirituality. In parallel with his personal activity, he has been holding courses since 2006
of Painting Techniques of the Rimini School of the 14th Century at the Museum of
Rimini and carries out educational workshops in various schools, as well as moments of
training for art teachers. The museum experience inspires
also the author's research which, through a subtle operation
conceptual, begins to transform his subjects, mostly portraits, into icons
contemporary "classics". The museum is therefore not only for the artist
as a place of contemplation and knowledge, but also a source of inspiration
creative thanks to the ever-present lessons of the great Masters of the past.
Today Corsini is engaged in an increasingly in-depth investigation
on the invisible that hides in the visible, through the use of brushstrokes
expressive and bright and transparent color overlays, in order to
recreate a new dimension evoked by rarefied and spiritual atmospheres.
Thus the private intimate sphere becomes universal and the representation
of everything the artist loves – dear faces and presences that accompany him in the
everyday life – acquires a “different” meaning while the narration, from personal,
becomes everyone's. The latest works, inspired by the tradition of the great watercolorists
English, focus on the theme of love for nature and the desire for
to grasp with a gaze full of amazement the extraordinary that lies hidden
in the ordinary. During and after the lockdown, he organizes online workshops of various
painting techniques for private individuals, schools and associations, both in Italy and abroad
United States, combining them with museum workshops and intense educational activities
for schools of all levels. Antonietta Corsini's works are
preserved in public and private spaces in Italy and abroad.
