Giampietro Tugnoli - 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.

Even in the still life genre, Giampietro Tugnoli maintains a figurative style, faithful to reality. However, compared to landscape painting, where a lyrical sense, expressed through a predominantly impressionistic pictorial style, prevails, in still life Tugnoli tends to emphasize the plastic qualities of the objects. For this reason, his style in this genre is less subject to overly accentuated pictorial effects. Drawing, therefore, prevails, delineating harmonious and regular volumes. The application of color, however, remains dynamic and vibrant, in this case identifying the effect of light on the objects and inserting them naturally into the space.

Giampietro Tugnoli was born in 1948 in Cellina di Leggiuno. He began his career as a professional painter in 1974. Since then, his career has been marked by numerous solo and group exhibitions, both in Italy and abroad. A primarily figurative painter, he favors the palette knife technique, which gives his subjects an almost sculptural consistency.
