Franco Rinaldi - Untitled - GLOF002

The "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.

The composition of this still life straddles the object's phenomenal reality (what we can experience through our senses) and its noumenal reality (what we can explore through our intellect). Indeed, its design structure is extremely solid, anchored in the sensory world Rinaldi has before his eyes. However, the way he interprets this chair and the game resting on it demonstrates that his perception of the object, and especially of the object in space, goes beyond the phenomenon. Indeed, the representation is conducted along multiple directional lines, according to a perspective that is not univocal. In this way, the structures of things are explored more deeply, breaking them down within the complex space created by the artist. Rinaldi's investigative process continues through the pictorial layering, emphasizing the volumes and highlighting the object's relationships with the space in which it interacts. Rinaldi also employs an elaborate pictorial style that imbues the objects with existential vibrations.

Artist Franco Rinaldi is a painter who devotes himself primarily to classical and traditional genres such as landscape painting and still life, dividing his poetics between a lyrical vision of phenomenal reality and an exploration of plastic values.
