Lorenzo Bursi - Forgotten Tree

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

This work marks an expressionist phase in the work of Lorenzo Bursi. The landscape is rendered through a truly extreme process of synthesis. The elements of the view are created with a few brushstrokes, reducing everything to the essential. But what the landscape loses in naturalistic rendering of sensory details, it gains enormously in expressiveness. Indeed, the use of a rather diluted technique, spreading an almost immaterial color, imbues the work with an expressive force that derives from a direct connection between the artist's perception and his pictorial gesture. In keeping with the expressionist nature of the representation, the colors also transcend the naturalistic, taking on an emotional and spiritual significance.

Lorenzo Bursi is an artist who has focused primarily on landscapes. His language, which tends toward expressionism, leverages the potential of diluted paint.
