G. Cappelli - Untitled

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.

Cappelli's style, in much of his work, is characterized by the development of a strongly expressionist language. The artist seeks to go beyond what is perceived by the senses to extrapolate the true essence of reality and communicate it on canvas in a lively and dramatic manner. For this reason, through the application of color, he develops a highly synthesised process that reduces his subjects to dense, material layers of paint, in which the painter's emotion is also the protagonist, conveyed through his brutal gestures. All these elements together constitute the expressionistic power of Cappelli's painting. This power is also based on a specific aesthetic choice that reaffirms the dramatic tone of his works, namely, a preference for a pronounced monochrome of brown tones, from which the images emerge almost with difficulty, establishing a struggle with the paint.

G. Cappelli's pictorial production is distinguished by a strongly expressionist language in which the gestural nature of the painting and the propensity for a brown monochrome are exalted.
