G. DI SALVO - UNTITLED

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Di Salvo's aim is to offer a simplified interpretation of reality, seeking new values ​​of purity in representation. For this reason, his painting style can be described as naïve, yet it expresses itself in a highly classical and traditional manner. His language, in fact, is essentially figurative and finds its broadest expression in the traditional genre of landscape painting. However, the artist manages to infuse tradition with his originality and personal touch, precisely through his pursuit of purity in representation that defines his style. Concretely, this is expressed in a fluid technique that resolves subjects with a few, quick but incisive strokes. Objects almost dematerialize in the lightness of the glazes. Even from a chromatic perspective, the artist favors decidedly pale tones, full of light.

Both in his choice of subjects and his execution method, we can say that the artist Di Salvo moves within the realm of classical and figurative art, yet displays a certain naïve approach to his compositions. His desire to achieve lightness and simplicity in representation is evident, with the aim of imbuing the artwork with primordial values ​​of purity and innocence.
