Giordano Capanna - The Expert's Taste

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

In his portraits, Giordano Capanna demonstrates remarkable pictorial technique, allowing him to render his subjects perfectly naturalistically. There is great precision and richness of detail from a physiognomic perspective, in a pared-down approach to portraiture that focuses all attention on the subject's personality. In addition to this meticulous study of character, Capanna also stands out for his dynamic brushstrokes that create evocative existential vibrations. The subjects' forms blend seamlessly with the surrounding space and the paint. His skillful use of light enhances the figure's sculptural consistency. The demeanor and expression reveal much of the realistic nature of Giordano Capanna's portraits, further confirmed by the dynamic, vibrant pictorial style.
