L. Fabbri - Maternity

The iconography of motherhood is closely linked to the subject of the Madonna and Child. It is probably one of the most popular iconographies in the history of both Western and Eastern art. The Madonna and Child appears since the dawn of medieval painting and remained a constant subject as long as religious themes dominated artistic production (that is, until the 19th century, when themes inspired by everyday life began to be introduced). It is quite common for contemporary artists to treat the iconography of motherhood without directly connecting it to the Christian religion. In this work, the artist L. Fabbri invents an extremely unique iconography that further highlights the bond between a mother and her son or daughter. The artist depicts the subject while the child is still in the womb, showing us, in his highly creative manner, almost a cross-section of the woman's body.

The highly creative reworking of the traditional subject of "Maternity" is also confirmed by L. Fabbri's stylistic language. Indeed, the figure undergoes a completely eccentric and original formal development. First, the woman is rendered more iconic through a striking elongation of her form and a deliberately archaic character. The entire rhythm of the composition is based on highly sinuous lines. But what is extraordinary is the elaboration of the drawing, which from the woman's figure engenders an extremely creative decorativeness consisting of a wide variety of circular themes with a biomorphic and vegetal appearance.

As we can see from an analysis of this work, the artist L. Fabbri is gifted, first and foremost, with a masterful drawing technique that allows him to create extremely elaborate and refined subjects. His artistic production stands out for its unconventional subjects, expressed in an extraordinarily creative decorative style.
