Description of the work
Description of the work
Flowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also becomes a way of interpreting reality.
Fulvio Caligiuri demonstrates a remarkable technique that allows him to achieve a harmonious naturalism in his depiction of his subject. The artist chooses a neutral, compact surface to highlight the volumes and colors of the flowers, which are perfectly arranged in the decontextualized space. The pure and objective volumes, untouched by overly deep shading, are achieved through a fluid brushstroke that spreads the vibrant, brilliant colors.
Fulvio Caligiuri (Ceccano 1930, Rome 2011). Painter and illustrator, lyrical and expressionist figurative. He has exhibited in Rome, London, Paris, New York, Melbourne, and Toronto. His most recent solo exhibitions include: “L'Agostiniana” (Rome); “Il Duomo” (Rieti); “Il Mondo dell'Arte” (Fiuggi). In the 1950s, while continuing his studies and practicing various sports, he was already exhibiting his works in galleries and art events in the capital. The acclaim was such that in the 1960s he was able to dedicate himself professionally to art. In 1973 and 1974, he directed the independent “International Academy of the Nude.” He has received important commissions from religious organizations, including “L'Agape Fraterna,” five works by the “Padri Scolopi,” one of which depicts the founder, Saint Joseph Calasanz, and is exhibited at the Historical Museum of the “Padri Scolopi” in Krakow.
