Description of the work
Description of the work
The work has a marked expressionist vocation, which tends to emphasize the expression of emotions. Expressionist art seeks to proclaim its moods to the world and flaunt them with passion. Formally, this translates into a summary rendering of the figures, through a very nervous and animated line, as well as the use of a violent color palette. These characteristics are found in the historical avant-garde movements of expressionism: Fauvism and the Die Brucke movement in Germany.
Dova's style 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 the subjects to a simple and instinctive drawing in which the painter's emotion is also the protagonist, conveyed through his gestures. In this case, the figures of the two pilgrims are constructed using a thick black line. This line determines a series of chromatic fields that the artist fills with a compact application. In this way, the work is resolved as a balance of colors in a two-dimensional space.
Dova stands out for his production of traditional genre scenes, yet recontextualized through a unique contemporary sensibility. His style is decidedly expressionist, based on a synthesis of subjects in which the pictorial material and the artist's gestures prevail.
