Antonio Nunziante - For Lorenzo

The subject's depiction draws inspiration from hyperrealist currents. Hyperrealism aims for a completely objective representation of reality: the artist's desire is to reproduce what he sees without any interpretation. In this sense, the hyperrealist aesthetic also constitutes a paradox, often consciously sought by artists. Indeed, thanks in part to the use of highly aggressive techniques, inspired by the world of advertising, and the use of bright color palettes, a rendering of the naturalistic element is achieved that is so pure as to appear illusory, deliberately fake.

Antonio Nunziante's hyperrealism often focuses on rooms. Interiors of homes, rooms that the artist captures on canvas with his objective clarity. Life is minimized, delegated to the mere existence of objects used by who knows who. In these interiors, one perceives a sense of immobility, of unreal suspension. So much so that, combined with the fact that Nunziante formally practices a deliberately illusory realism, one might speak of a metaphysical aesthetic language.

Antonio Nunziante is a Neapolitan painter born in 1956. His poetics straddles metaphysical and symbolist art, formally supported by a remarkable hyperrealist technique. After his initial experimental beginnings under the name Rascal Babaloo, his interest increasingly shifted toward painting from life. His first monograph, "Nature silenti," inspired by Flemish art, was published in 1994. In 1996, at the exhibition "Il valore della figura," his works were displayed alongside those of Italian masters Boeri, Cascella, De Chirico, Guttuso, Modigliani, Morandi, Marino Marini, Severini, and Sironi.
