Guardigli - Grapes - PPAN005

The "Still Life" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the "Still Life" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory aspect.

In this work by Guardigli, we find a perfect balance between figuration and abstraction. Indeed, the bunch of grapes is depicted with full respect for its plastic form, even with a certain tendency to exalt the geometry of the grapes. The space it occupies, however, is rendered in a totally expressionist and abstract manner, with a layered overlay of colors that nonetheless evokes the presence of the subject. Indeed, the chromatic balance of this work is truly remarkable, establishing a perfect complementary relationship between subject and space. The choice of colors completely transcends the naturalistic, acquiring an evocative and expressionist quality.

As we can see from the execution of this work, the artist Guardigli has developed an original pictorial language in which form interacts with an expressionist and abstract execution.
