Furio Cavallini - Untitled

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

In both his portraits and landscapes, Furio Cavallini's approach to the subject is evident, with a distinctly post-impressionist edge toward expressionism. Broad, textured brushstrokes, with a strong structural quality, construct the objects. Each brushstroke is placed on a different plane, creating the subject's volume. Everything is characterized by a highly pictorial quality that almost dissolves form and space, imbuing the work with a powerful expressiveness. Typical of Furio Cavallini is his palette, which tends toward brown tones.
