{"product_id":"fausto-venezia-senza-titolo-2","title":"Fausto Venezia - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \"Still Life\" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the \"Still Life\" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory aspect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eFausto Venezia's artistic research is primarily focused on the exaltation of plasticity. From a formal perspective, this translates primarily into a rigorous composition, based on a solid drawing structure that seeks depth. The clean lines of this framework are arranged in a rigorous yet very natural composition. Fausto Venezia's figures appear sharply delineated, in the consistency of their bodies and the volume of their objects. However, the formal exaltation sought by Fausto Venezia does not lead to a cold and objective hyperrealism. Rather, his approach is highly painterly, dynamic with iridescent tones, and this brings his figures to life, vibrant with existential energy. Thus, it can be said that Fausto Venezia's pictorial style is grounded in a profound desire for realism which, combined with a masterful life drawing technique, succeeds in translating onto canvas what the painter sees before his eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eFausto Venezia was born in Benevento in 1921.
