Carlo Azzella - Untitled

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Era, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings.

In Carlo Azzella's artistic production, the urban landscape becomes a pure aesthetic pleasure. Reality is synthesized and altered in favor of geometric composition and linear rhythms. Everything is resolved in a decomposition of space according to multiple directives, into which the regular volumes of the houses are inserted. Phenomenal reality is reduced to the bare minimum to enhance the landscape's plastic qualities in a rationalist vision, which, however, is not as rigorous as it might seem. Indeed, in this work, we note a vibrant pop vein, especially in the distribution of color, made up of compact fields and bright, almost electric hues.

Carlo Azzella is a painter from Puglia who has created a fascinating body of work. In his paintings, the typical landscape of his homeland (the villages of white houses and trulli) is reworked in an original and aesthetically evocative pop and rationalist style.
