Bruno Donzelli - (Kandinsky - Cesar)

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.

This composition is a play the artist plays on his relationship with the history of contemporary art and his own artistic production, which involves a certain degree of quotation. This is the sense in which he references two key figures of the 20th century through the unique characteristics of their artistic language: on the one hand, César Baldaccini, known for his sculptures made from scrap cars; on the other, Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstract art and a poetics of pure forms and colors. This quotation itself, beyond the conceptual value of the operation, becomes a composition in itself with its own formal and chromatic balance.

Bruno Donzelli was born in Naples in 1941. He made his national debut at the age of twenty-one with an exhibition at the Galleria del Fiorino in Florence. His pictorial production is divided into several cycles: "Ormare," "Siparietti impertinenti," "Mirroring in the Heart of Art," "Nuove Piazzas d'Italia," "Morandina," "Sironiana," and others. His artistic language, which often engages with 20th-century art in a kind of interplay of references, was inspired by a Pop aesthetic. In the late 1960s, however, he developed a fantastical expressionist style with a childlike figuration bordering on cartoonish.
