Giordano Poletti - Vase of Flowers

Flowers as a subject in themselves begin to appear within the “natures
death”, a genre that saw the light at the beginning of the 17th century. Later
the attention of painters to the floral world, especially with the Impressionists,
is becoming increasingly important, as it is an extraordinary opportunity to capture
chromatic and luminous vibrations. Thus the flowers begin to appear not
not only in pots, but also immersed in their natural landscape. If at the beginning
of its history was a pretext for painters to try their hand at a reproduction
photographic reality, with contemporary art the subject of flowers becomes
also a way of interpreting reality.

Watercolorist Giordano Poletti's interpretation of a vase of flowers is resolved through a decisive process of abstraction of the subject. There is a remarkable synthesis of sensory data that empties the objects of their volume, transforming them into pure perceptual vibrations. Thus, the artist constructs the vase with a thin black line that outlines the structures in a nervous and quivering manner. Then, the application of diluted color completes the work, making everything within the composition extremely dynamic and light. The colors are quite bright, ideal for capturing the intense chromatic vibrations of the flowers and the vivid reflections of light on the vase's glossy surface.

Giordano Poletti is an artist born in 1935. Throughout his painting career, he has focused primarily on watercolors. His favorite subjects are landscapes, still lifes, floral compositions, and religious paintings. His style is distinguished by a synthesis of subjects that exploits the expressive qualities of diluted color.
