{"product_id":"mario-borgna-venezia","title":"Mario Borgna - Venice","description":"\u003cp\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e \nFor artist Mario Borgna, whose aesthetic is predominantly surreal and abstract, depicting landscape means achieving, through painting, a delicate fusion between naturalistic rendering and dreamlike dimension. Indeed, his Venetian views, in which he employs a frankly figurative language, remain rooted in sensory data. Yet reality seems transfigured into a lyrical interpretation that almost transports it into a dreamlike dimension. Formally, all this translates into a highly delicate pictorial style where reality is represented in a rarefied and distant manner. This means that the capture of realistic details and particulars is lost in favor of a more expressionistic and symbolic language. Mario Borgna's refined pictorial touch, which delicately synthesizes objects, plays a key role in this process. Thus, his color palette is also distinguished by a delicate anti-naturalistic tendency, whereby immersion in the chromatic blend of sky and sea conveys the artist's poetic sensibility and his almost dreamlike interpretation of the landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eMario Borgna (Villar Perosa, July 31, 1936 – Turin, December 28, 2007) was an Italian painter, sculptor, and ceramist from Pinerolo. He began his career in the thriving arts, painting scenes and backdrops, then moved on to religious paintings in churches and chapels between Piedmont and Liguria, eventually frescoing the \"Clowns' Chapel\" in Apricale. The 1970s were perhaps his most fruitful period, characterized by ongoing research into content and form, techniques, and materials. This period of great fame was the culmination of a long career, a journey of study, research, and experiences, also marked by encounters and associations with Fontana, Lam, Manzoni, Dova, and Scanavino in the ceramic workshops of Albissola. In 1973, Giulio Bolaffi Editore dedicated a monograph to him, \"Mario Borgna.\" In the 1980s, he also delved deeper into philosophy, particularly in reference to Lyotard and his immaterialism and his studies of the \"myths\" of Man, aimed at transcending time through symbolic figures. From 1984 to 1992, he participated in international art fairs (Artexpo) in Madrid and Nice in Europe, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Atlanta in America, and Tokyo in Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sprecacenere Bruno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218285441410,"sku":"BSPR001","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/BORGNA-DEL-69-OLIO-SU-TAVOLA-90X138-NO-CERT.jpg?v=1768472490","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/mario-borgna-venezia","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
