Emilio Comba - Along the French Riviera

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; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Emilio Comba's landscape style presents a perfect fusion of realism and a pronounced synthesis of sensory elements in color. On the one hand, the artist precisely describes the view in all its details, with a strong sense of reality and the everydayness of simple experiences. On the other, his refined painting technique allows him to convey a sense of immediacy to the canvas, thanks to rapid brushstrokes charged with atmospheric and existential vibrations. Light thus reflects on objects, but without interfering with the precise description of reality. The entire view is thus characterized by a strong expressionist quality, given by the artist's rapid gesture and the density of the paint.

Emilio Comba is a painter originally from Turin, born in 1924. His painting style is highly personal and distinctive. He straddles the line between Symbolism, with his subjects often imbued with mystery and hidden meaning, and Expressionism, with his synthetic form and unconventional use of color. His landscape work, however, displays a more traditional approach, but his language is always synthetic and tends toward Expressionism.
