{"product_id":"emanuel-campus-senza-titolo","title":"Manuel Campus - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003ePortraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nManuel Campus's art is characterized by expressive faces, strong personalities, and popular features. The painter has succeeded in creating his own poetics from the grim stares and frowning features. These are the rugged faces of social outcasts, which Campus, however, sublimates with his own expressionistic interpretation. In this case, however, we are faced with an example of official portraiture, yet we can see that the expressionistic deformations employed by the artist, in order to explore the true essence of the figure before him, are the same. Campus implements a process of formal synthesis based on a linear rhythm of composition, arranged in a complex, non-univocal space, influenced by Cubist decomposition. Plasticity is understated, and very little room is left for spatial depth. The compositions are always in tune with a color palette of brown tones that evoke lived-in influences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eManuel Campus is an artist of Sardinian origin, born in Domus De Maria in 1928, but lives and works in Bazzano Inferiore, near Spoleto.
