{"product_id":"lucio-bernardi-senza-titolo-3","title":"Lucio Bernardi - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eSurrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s, encompassing all fields of artistic research. Specifically, in the visual arts, Surrealism sought to explore the human subconscious and translate it into artwork through a mechanical writing process based on dream analysis. Consequently, Surrealist artworks propose the representation of a dreamlike dimension, completely dissociated from reality. However, this representation often relies on a hyperrealistic formal rendering, precisely to paradoxically accentuate the illusory and ambiguous nature of the surreal dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThroughout his career, artist Lucio Bernardi has explored various stylistic registers, including surrealism. In this aesthetic, the Romagna-born artist faithfully draws on the historical avant-garde, and Salvador Dalí in particular. Indeed, like the Catalan master, Bernardi's surreal works are the result of a blend of free associations, combining cultural references with abstract and metaphysical landscapes. Formally, too, Bernardi consistently follows the Surrealist school, paradoxically rendering his visions concrete. Objects are treated with a hyperrealism that enhances their plasticity, and there is obsessive attention to detail in an ostentatious symmetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eBorn in 1919, Bernardi began his career in the vibrant Santarcangelo artistic scene of the late 1940s, fueled by Tonino Guerra, Federico Moroni, and Giulio Turci, and frequented by Alberto Sughi, Marcello Muccini, and Renzo Vespignani, among others. Since 1956, he has had a ceramics workshop on Via dei Nobili in Santarcangelo. He exhibited in Milan in 1964 and 1969, in Bologna and New York in 1965, and in Bari in 1989. From the mid-1960s, he became interested in printmaking, participating with other Santarcangelo artists in group exhibitions in Belgrade and Mostar. While continuing to draw, paint in oils and watercolors—ironic portraits of scantily clad female figures, posed groups, and still lifes—Bernardi exploited unusual materials to create highly evocative \"inventions.\" This is how collages are born with old papers, three-dimensional faces and figures, painted river stones and small and curious sculptures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chezzi Emidio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218714702210,"sku":"ECHE006","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/Bernardi-2_91b15ee8-3259-4785-95a6-7426eaec9b78.jpg?v=1768476011","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/lucio-bernardi-senza-titolo-3","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
