Giuseppe Prisco - Untitled

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been an artist's aspiration throughout the centuries. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with exploration of space through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the 16th century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

The work is a clear example of an expressionist landscape. Reality is interpreted in an extremely synthetic manner, with an exercise in reduction that seeks to reach the purest essence of the landscape. The surface is two-dimensional, with almost no spatial depth. The brushstrokes delineate the forms in a very instinctive manner. Delving even further into detail, we can see how Prisco describes the view with a series of almost gestural marks, creating an impasto that transfigures his perception of reality into the pictorial material. Thus, the application of color is dense, and although the language used in this work is synthetic and expressionist, Prisco's vision remains connected to phenomenal reality, to its vibrations of light and atmosphere, in a pictorial process that takes the premises of Impressionist and plein air art to their extreme.

As we can see from the analysis of this work, in Prisco's pictorial production the landscape is the absolute protagonist in an original expressionist/symbolist interpretation.
