Franco Gnocchi - Val Sesia - Winter

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been an artist's aspiration throughout the centuries. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance, then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Franco Gnocchi is a master at creating lyrical landscapes, imbued with spirituality. He has a penchant for solitary views, where the sense of solitude, not only stems from the subject, but also from the form. Indeed, Franco Gnocchi is capable of imbuing his paintings with a profound atmospheric quality, where objects blend into the space and the quality of the air is dense and palpable. His skill, moreover, lies in his ability to synthesize objects with a few strokes of textural color. The figures thus synthesized are like evanescent apparitions in the atmospheric density of Gnocchi's landscapes.

Franco Gnocchi is a painter from Gallarate, born in 1945. In his pictorial language he has developed a particular lyrical form of landscape in which an elegant material expressionism merges with a dense atmosphericism.
