{"product_id":"armando-riva-naturamorta","title":"Armando Riva - Still Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \"Still Life\" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the \"Still Life\" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory aspect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eAs in his sculpture, Armando Riva's painting is also distinguished by his original research and strong aesthetic impact. His paintings draw on the post-impressionist tradition in their desire to capture, in each individual brushstroke, the light and color vibrations that shape objects, while simultaneously achieving a remarkable expressive synthesis. Armando Riva takes this approach to its extreme, with a powerful recontextualization informed by contemporary influences. His exploration of vibrations deepens, leading to the deconstruction of objects into individual brushstrokes. In short, the artist achieves a kind of divisionism, but in his reworking, this occurs with extremely dense and material color, lending the representation a more markedly expressionist quality. This interpretation remains consistent even in his choice of colors, which transcend natural elements and in his proposition of strong, very warm hues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eArmando Riva was born in San Floriano, near Milan, in 1947. His artistic career, primarily as a sculptor, began in 1965, but he has also worked in painting, photography, and film. Since the 1970s, Armando Riva's work has taken on a more defined, more emotional, and expressionistic aesthetic, with a more developed use of diverse materials, including composites, such as bronze, Plexiglas, wood, and fiberglass. In painting, however, his work takes on the form of a recontextualization of Post-Impressionism. His works have been exhibited in numerous national exhibitions, where the artist has consistently achieved critical and public acclaim.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cocchi Riccardo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218294845826,"sku":"RCOC003","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/NATURA-MORTA_2041b4ca-8c8d-4db2-a265-f18aeb322d6e.jpg?v=1768472562","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/armando-riva-naturamorta","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
