Luigi Merlo - Rural Fantasy

In the history of art, a clear distinction can often be made between figurative and abstract stylistic movements. However, when an artist's goal is to represent an object that resonates with phenomenal reality but is also charged with hidden and symbolic meaning, this boundary can become blurred. Symbolism and Expressionism are emblematic stylistic movements in their conceptual interpretation of reality, with an iconic rendering of images and a symbolic interpretation in the use of color.

Artist Luigi Merlo is characterized by a purely aesthetic and calligraphic vision of nature. His goal is not to reproduce reality as it is, but to transfigure it according to a high sense of graphic balance. Thus, the composition within the circle is built on a harmony of wavy, sinewy lines and a delicate contrast of chromatic zones.

Luigi Merlo is an artist born in Cittadella in 1952. He graduated in Political Science and cultivated poetry and was one of the founders of the Cittadella Arts and Letters group. Since the 1970s, he has focused primarily on printmaking, training in chalcography and xylography at the International Center for Graphics in Venice. Since 1980, he has exhibited his work throughout Italy.
