Description of the work
Description of the work
During the 1950s and 1960s, the so-called poetics of the object began to spread in European and American art. Harking back to the readymades of Dadaist memory, a new wave of groups or movements repurposed everyday objects as works of art. The departure from traditional Dada lay in the strong influence of Abstract Expressionism, which led to the reconfiguration of objects with new languages and new stimuli. Fabio Aguzzi's pictorial production draws inspiration from this poetics, reproducing simple objects, which are the protagonists of his works. His poetics, however, is expressed through a reflection on the very representation of the object, in a provocatively illusory hyperrealism.
Although the object is the central focus of Fabio Aguzzi's work, his pictorial conception departs from the poetics of New Dada in terms of the formal form of his paintings. Indeed, the form pursued by this artist is recognized through an exquisitely hyperrealist language. The object is impeccably reproduced, and the painting is conceived as if it were a true photograph. However, Fabio Aguzzi's hyperrealism conceals a refined provocation. His is not a photographic reproduction of reality, but rather a stark and deliberately illusory representation that undoubtedly draws inspiration from Renè Magritte. Therefore, while his works cannot be considered surrealist like those of the Belgian master, they must nevertheless be classified within the realm of metaphysical art, or better yet, magical realism. Aguzzi's illusory provocation, then, becomes even more refined through his interpretation. Indeed, although the representation is absolutely faithful to reality, its application imparts almost imperceptible pictorial effects that imbue the subject with subtle vibrations that only painting can convey. Finally, the exploration of light, which is always central to this painter's work, is crucial. With his brushstrokes, Aguzzi reveals the effects of light falling on objects and measures the decontextualized space of the work.
Fabio Aguzzi was a painter born in Milan in 1953 and passed away in Vidigulfo in 2016. He trained at the Brera Academy. Throughout his career, his works featured a variety of subjects, always demonstrating an interest in the magical realism of Felice Casorati. In the 1990s, he began his famous Objects series. Fabio Aguzzi has exhibited his work in numerous shows throughout Italy.
