Giovanni Sangalli - Vase of Flowers

Flowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also becomes a way of interpreting reality.

Artist Giovanni Sangalli consistently conducts in-depth research into his own perception of nature, leading him to transfigure reality into abstract and almost surreal forms. First, sensory data is subjected to a remarkable expressive synthesis, transcending contingent details in a highly essential and symbolic representation. But the key distinctiveness of Giovanni Sangalli's painting lies in the fact that this synthesis is completely transfigured into an "other" reality that does not appear to belong to an earthly dimension. This result is achieved through a complex formal development that inserts the synthetic forms of the objects represented into a non-unique and multidimensional space. Distances are measured by reflective surfaces, and light radiates with metallic flashes.

Giovanni Sangalli is a painter born in Milan in 1930. His pictorial production is distinguished by his experiments with the traditional genre of landscape and beyond, which led him to transfigure nature into abstract and surreal forms.
