Aquilani - Abstract

The work is an abstract composition. "Abstract" derives from the Latin term "abstrahere," which means to extract or draw out. The process of abstraction, in fact, consists of eliminating the particular and individual aspects of an object to derive a universal concept. From Kandinsky to Mondrian, from Pollock to Mirò, many painters have pushed the process of abstraction to the limit in their works, paradoxically creating pure forms and pure colors that do not exist in nature, or translating their emotions and instincts into images.

The work seems to reflect the artist's desire to create an expressionist landscape. Reality is interpreted in an extremely synthetic manner, with an almost brutal reduction, resulting in an abstract composition. The surface is completely two-dimensional, with no regard for spatial depth; only the artist's marks hint at some intersection of planes. The brushstrokes delineate the forms in a very tormented and nervous manner. Color is used according to an emotional and spiritual interpretation, without any connection to reality.

Aqulani is undoubtedly a painter influenced by the historical avant-garde and abstract movements. While he doesn't entirely renounce the figurative element in his compositions, his aesthetic is nonetheless based on a process of synthesising sensory data, taken to the extreme, transforming reality into an abstract composition of lines and colors.
