Franco Curvo - Christmas in a Pandemic

Franco Curvo's subjects can be classified in the following categories:
a metaphysical aesthetic. In his works, in fact, one can perceive the same effect of
alienation typical of the movement founded by Giorgio De Chirico, obtained
through the process of displacement, that is, the sudden appearance of a
object out of its usual context, or the condensation, the fusion of several
objects into a single entity. Metaphysics is also distinguished by its character
ostentatiously illusory of his images. The graphic/pictorial work of
Franco Curvo fits perfectly into these aesthetic canons, proposing the
mysterious situation of objects arranged in a room, in an atmosphere
still and full of silence. However, Franco Curvo's aesthetics, in its explication, is also characterised by a very surrealist component
developed. Everything is achieved with a hyper-realistic, provocative language
and illusory, obtained through the original technique of this artist.

The way in which the subject has been represented draws inspiration from the
Hyperrealist currents. Hyperrealism aims at a representation of reality
totally objective: in fact, also thanks to the use of very aggressive techniques
and the use of bright color ranges, a data rendering is achieved
naturalistic so pure as to seem illusory. Franco's hyperrealism
Curved, resulting from his technique called “algorithmic digital painting” has a
specific technological connotation, inspired by “computer graphics”.
The artist's attention is often drawn to rooms. Interiors of homes,
rooms that Curvo creates with his objective, mathematical lucidity. The
presence of life is reduced to a minimum, delegated to the sole existence of strange
objects, used by who knows who. In these interiors, therefore, one perceives a sense
of immobility, of unreal suspension.

Born in Piedmont in 1956, Franco Curvo lived for many years in La
Spezia and has been living in Florence since 1991. He has a degree in mathematics (Pisa 1980) and
He carried out his professional activity for 37 years in a relevant sector
to computer science. His logical/technical approach did not prevent him from
to be interested in art, with a certain predilection for contemporary art and in
especially for the surreal and metaphysical one. This interest is in
time developed and strengthened to the point of making him feel the need to
get involved with a personal contribution. This is why
Franco Curvo began (1998) to study and experiment with his own
expressive technique, initially with the sole aim of consolidating a
a distinctly personal artistic language. Subsequently, but only
in 2005, after seven years of experimentation and subsequent refinements, it is
having made the decision to "come out into the open" by participating in demonstrations,
exhibitions and events. From 2005 to today Franco Curvo has created
numerous works and participated in various exhibitions, both traditional and through
internet, always receiving much appreciation. He also participated in
various competitions.
