Description of the work
Description of the work
In the history of art, a clear distinction can often be made between figurative and abstract stylistic movements. However, when an artist's goal is to represent an object that resonates with phenomenal reality but is also charged with hidden and symbolic meaning, this boundary can become blurred. Symbolism and Expressionism are emblematic stylistic movements in their conceptual interpretation of reality, with an iconic rendering of images and a symbolic interpretation in the use of color.
Ennio Calabria always begins with phenomenal reality; in this case, we find human figures in front of a body of water. But the artist isn't satisfied with what can be perceived through the senses, and for this reason, reality is complicated so that it can be explored more deeply with a deeper sensitivity. Ennio Calabria always tends toward extremely dynamic, whirlwind compositions, charged with an almost uncontrollable expressive vigor. To this end, he employs a highly animated, nervous line with a broken rhythm. Space is shattered into a spatio-temporal simultaneity that distorts the subjects themselves. All this is combined with a highly dynamic use of color, consistent with the expressionistic nature of the entire work.
Ennio Calabria, born in Tripoli in 1937, is one of the leading figures of contemporary figurative art. Besides being a painter, he is also known as a graphic designer and illustrator of book covers and posters. Throughout his career, he has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including important retrospectives in Milan at the Rotonda della Besana in 1985 and in Rome at Castel Sant'Angelo in 1987.
