Mario Bergamaschi - 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.

Mario Bergamaschi's style is distinguished by a celebration of the expressive potential of pictorial application. He remains deeply rooted in faithfully capturing the subject's sensory details, yet his interpretation tends toward expressionism. Bergamaschi's expressionism is expressed through a reduction of the subject's contingent details, seeking its true essence through pictorial application. His portraits, in fact, lose their physiognomic references, and the objects in his still lifes become pure form. What matters are the emotional and spiritual vibrations the artist transfers to the canvas. Bergamaschi's application of color is extremely elaborate, dense with pictorial matter, sculpting iconic forms with complex meanings.

The artist Mario Bergamaschi, as we can see from an analysis of his works, stands out for a pictorial style that tends to reduce the rendering of sensory data in favor of the expressive potential of color and pictorial layering.
