Reality is interpreted in an extremely synthetic manner, with an almost brutal reduction. The surface is completely two-dimensional, with no allowance for spatial depth. The brushstrokes delineate the forms in a very tormented and nervous manner. Color is used according to an emotional and spiritual interpretation, without any connection to reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eFor Mario Schifano, the two-dimensionality of the painted surface is comparable to that of a television screen, a monitor. For this reason, his pictorial approach, linked to the gesturality of American Abstract Expressionism, can also be interpreted as interference, an electrical disturbance in a worldview filtered through technology. Furthermore, there is another relevant theme, more closely linked to a Pop aesthetic. The images Schifano takes are always banal, stereotypical, like kitsch postcards. But the artist's pictorialism acts on the massified image, giving new meaning and a new poetics to the ordinary and mediocre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMario Schifano was a Roman artist born in 1934 in Homs, Libya. He was the leading exponent of the Piazza del Popolo School. This group of painters met at the Caffè Rosati and shared an artistic language inspired by Pop Art, but with a new sensibility also influenced by the experiments of American Abstract Expressionism. The use of symbols of consumer society, repeated serially, is distinctly Pop, but their pictorial interpretation, whether dirty or textured, or using gestural techniques like dripping, offers a new vision and a different reconfiguration. Mario Schifano passed away in Rome in 1998.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Savegnago Piergiorgio 500","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56212950221186,"sku":"PSAV015","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/schifani-4-2.jpg?v=1768407817","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/mario-schifano-palme","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
