Cesare Galli - Lights and Shadows of Sardinia

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 been a major aspiration for artists of every era. 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 sixteenth century, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism. Cesare Galli's interpretation of landscape painting is based on several factors. First, one can observe how the overall approach is traditional: the landscape is conceived as a broad vista according to correct perspective rules. The execution maintains a barely perceptible pictorialism, in the sense that the brushstrokes are cursive and rapid in the details (ensuring a certain immediacy of execution), yet overall the artist avoids excessive atmosphericism in the representation. All this leads to a certain simplification in the landscape's execution, which also characterizes Cesare Galli's work with a certain naïve quality. Painter Cesare Galli was born in Cremona in 1944. He has been painting since he was a boy, specializing in landscapes using oil techniques. His style is full of freshness and spontaneity, marked by an innate naive poetics.
