Description of the work
Description of the work
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.
The artist G. Anselmi's style is distinguished by a delicate balance between naturalism and expressive representation. He is an artist who certainly begins by recording sensory data but transfigures it into his intimate and subjective interpretation. Thus, we can see how his views and portraits undergo a certain process of pictorial synthesis that delicately abstracts their form. The objects are emptied of their materiality to give life to a substance made essentially of color. And we can rightly speak of "giving life," because Anselmi's pictorial layering is extremely complex and dynamic, imbuing his subjects with profound vibrations that are not only atmospheric but also spiritual.
