Athos Faccincani - The Pungent Ones

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has always been an artist's aspiration. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance, then with atmospheric rendering in the 16th century, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Athos Faccincani's compositions are always based on a predominance and exuberance of color. The composition, in fact, is based primarily on the distribution of brushstrokes, in bright, almost Fauvist hues, charged with light. Objects take shape through color. Houses, flowers, and streets appear in essential shapes, like patches of compact color. Space is almost nonexistent, so the entire composition resolves itself in an interlocking of objects attempting to arrange themselves on different planes.

The painter Athos Faccincani was born in Peschiera del Garda in 1951. His artistic career is distinguished by an initial, more expressionist phase, in which he painted a dark world, filled with suffering. It was a time when Faccincani frequented prisons and psychiatric hospitals to express this suffering. In his more recent phase, he has instead devoted himself to sun-drenched landscapes, which he creates in a style tending toward a more cheerful expressionism, close to Fauvism.
