Antonio D'Anna - Marine Microorganisms

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.

Antonio D'Anna's informal art develops through a perceptive exercise. The artist begins by acquiring sensory data and reworks it according to his highly personal sensibility. Thus, even a composition dedicated to marine microorganisms, which should be a biomorphic representation, almost definitively loses all contact with phenomenal reality, becoming a pure transposition of matter and gesture. Antonio d'Anna indeed seeks to capture the impression of the object, but this leads him to completely disintegrate the form and translate his perception directly into pictorial gesture. In this painting, the artist is able to create a chromatic material that seems alive, dynamic, and constantly evolving. In the intensity of the colors merging into a living organism, existence pulsates in bright, sudden flashes.

As we can see from the analysis of this work, the artist Antonio D'Anna stands out for his informal production in which he starts from the perception of nature and life, to resolve his vision in the material and in the pictorial gesture.
