{"product_id":"ennio-calabria-senza-titolo-2","title":"Ennio Calabria - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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 depict 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's artistic research proceeds precisely in this direction. He generally subjects his subjects to expressionistic distortions, as in this painting featuring a dog in front of its kennel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn this work, we can see how Ennio Calabria's elaboration of subjects always follows a marked expressionist synthesis. In this case, the figure of the dog is constructed with a thin graphic line that captures its forms in a manner that is both essential and vibrant, quivering with life. With the simple formal means of the line, Calabria manages to give the subject existential completeness, a testament to his profound artistic sensitivity. Not only is the subject reduced to the essential, but so is the space that envelops it. Likewise, the application of color, which relies on clear chromatic fields, yet distributed in a dynamic and complex manner that fuels the subject's vitality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eEnnio Calabria, born in Tripoli in 1937, is one of the leading figures of contemporary figurative art.
