Gandini - Still Life

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.

As we can see from an analysis of this painting, the subject of the "Still Life" provides Gandini with a pretext for developing his own original aesthetic conception. The artist begins, first and foremost, with a geometric reconstruction of reality; for him, it is essential to investigate the form and structure of objects and arrange them in a rational system (and the choice of objects in the "Still Life" is very indicative in this regard). However, Gandini himself seeks to disrupt this established order to accentuate the work's expressiveness. Thus, he deforms the objects, stretching them unnaturally to make them more vibrant with the energy of their existence. Even the choice of colors does not reflect a reproduction from life but is grounded in expressionist values. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that the entire composition is characterized by an elegant and refined minimalism.

As we can intuit from the analysis of his works, Gandini is an artist who has developed his own aesthetic conception that perfectly combines geometric and minimal rationalism with an exciting expressionism.
