Goffredo Trifirò - Untitled

Aquatic landscapes are an unusual subject in the history of art. The earliest examples can be found in Roman mosaics. Some painters have devoted themselves to them, exploiting the subject's unique characteristics that can stimulate the artist's creativity. First and foremost, the liquid consistency of the space itself, which allows painters to play with the movement of reflections and shimmering light. Furthermore, the extraordinary polychrome variety of marine life allows the artist to create refined color fantasies. For Goffredo Trifirò, aquatic landscapes are a favorite subject, developed in several easel works inspired not only by fish, but also by algae, plants, and marine sponges.

Artist Goffredo Trifirò, starting from the sensory data of a view of the seabed, reworks the phenomenal world. This reworking is conducted through a gestural pictorialism that almost verges on the informal with its swirling and dynamic layers of color. The intense color seems to engulf the entire surface of the painting in overlapping transparent and fluorescent glazes. Yet Goffredo Trifirò remains connected to the phenomenal reality, which remains perfectly legible even in his symbolic interpretation.

Goffredo Trifirò was born in Palermo on September 2, 1943. His highly personal training led him to develop his own style, which straddles the Expressionist landscape tradition and a synthetic treatment of form. His work is distinguished by an eclectic approach that leads him to constantly experiment with new compositional forms.
