Giuseppe Scapigliati, known as "Toscanaccio" - Untitled

The work draws on an Informal aesthetic language. The devastation wrought by World War II left a profound mark on Western civilization, which in the visual arts also resulted in an inability to communicate. For some artists, this challenge led to a complete rejection of any visual language, resulting in the birth of Informal Art. The various Informal movements are certainly connected to American Abstract Expressionism, especially with regard to the gestural component, but they go further in their rejection of any figurative element, even geometric. Their research focuses instead on the material from which their works are composed.

Giuseppe Scapigliati's informal art develops through a perceptive exercise. The artist begins by acquiring sensory data and reworks it according to his highly personal sensibility. Thus, even a naturalistic composition almost definitively loses all contact with phenomenal reality, becoming a pure transposition of matter and gesture. Scapigliati seeks to capture the impression of nature, but this leads him to completely disintegrate form and translate his perception directly into the pictorial material. In this painting, the artist is able to create a chromatic material that seems alive, dynamic, and constantly evolving. In the intensity of the colors that merge into a living organism, existence pulsates, invading the viewer's space.

Giuseppe Vittorio Scapigliati, known as "Il Toscanaccio," was born in Piancastagnaio in 1946 and passed away in Nettuno in 2015. He left behind several works in his hometown, including a beautiful Palio from 1999 and sketches for the idea of ​​a "Palio to be painted" in the Angelo Ferrazzani municipal library. Nor can we forget the large "Madonna degli Stracci," located in the Chapel of the Annunciation in the Parish Church of Santa Maria Assunta, and the beautiful Stations of the Cross, consisting of 14 splendid panels, which were also present in the same chapel.
