Gianni Bignami - Waiting on the Lake

In the history of art, a clear distinction can often be made between figurative and abstract stylistic movements. However, when an artist's goal is to represent an object that resonates with phenomenal reality but is also charged with hidden and symbolic meaning, this boundary can become blurred. Symbolism and Expressionism are emblematic stylistic movements in their conceptual interpretation of reality, with an iconic rendering of images and a symbolic interpretation in the use of color.

In this painting, Gianni Bignami demonstrates a highly personal and refined style. While he maintains a figurative approach, he also seeks to push it to a higher expressive height. This pushing concerns primarily the form, whereby the figures are synthesized with light glazes that render them almost evanescent. Then, the color, applied in bright, luminous tones, does not fully reflect the tangible reality. Compositionally, the scene engenders a sense of anticipation and suspension in time.

Giovanni Bignami is a painter from Gorgonzola born in 1930. He possesses excellent technique and has developed a highly personal style. His language is figurative, with various forcings to ensure greater expressive force in his work.
