Lino Casa - Still Life

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.

Lino Casa's pictorial language is strongly linked, as we can see in many of his works, to a conception of realist art, linked to social issues when he depicts a world of the poor and destitute, and deeply rooted in the purest essence of things when he depicts simple objects. This is reflected not only in the choice of subject for this still life but also in its interpretation. Lino Casa's style, in fact, is based on a lived-in pictorial style, charged with existential vibrations that imbue the representation with a strong emotional charge. The thick, dense, and almost material brushstrokes have a decidedly structural function in synthesizing the objects with a purist and realist spirit. All that is superfluous is eliminated, and what remains is the form and the very life of the objects, expressed through color and an expressionistic touch. Finally, Lino Casa's characteristic ability is to construct the image in a balance based on a chromatic palette of browns and warm tones.

The painter Lino Casa is an artist who can essentially be defined as belonging to the realist school. His favorite subjects are humble people or simple still lifes. Formally, he is a painter who draws on a post-impressionist or expressionist tradition in his complex pictorial construction of the image.
