Carlo Maria Giletti - Houses with Characters

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Age, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It is worth remembering that immediately following the realist currents 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. Carlo Maria Giletti's landscapes, whether urban scenes or countryside views, exist in a dimension suspended between reality and magic, thanks to the highly original formal elaboration that characterizes this artist's work.

The scenes created by Carlo Maria Giletti are essentially figurative and, ultimately, directly connected to tangible reality. However, if we analyze his works more closely, we discover that everything is created in a magical and subtly surreal manner. Thus, in his urban views, the buildings are arranged in lopsided perspectives, like evanescent backdrops composed of transparent washes of color. His landscape views have the same ethereal texture, punctuated by the geometric rhythm of the chromatic fields. The magical atmosphere is also fueled by this painter's palette, based on very warm colors and luminous nuances, which transcend reality to acquire a symbolic value. In this particular work, the artist also uses collage to populate his urban scene and make it even more surreal.

Carlo Maria Giletti is an artist distinguished by his highly original pictorial output. In his works, landscapes, both urban and otherwise, take on magical and surreal nuances, thanks to the development of a personal technique that combines refined pictorial synthesis with collage interventions.
