Mary Brilli - Untitled

Since the 19th century, when painting began to explore various aspects of bourgeois life, the circus world has been a theme explored by various artists. With the development of Symbolist and Expressionist movements between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the figure of the acrobat, circus performer, or mask began to gain popularity, as it played a key role in the development of complex iconographies with hidden and mysterious meanings. Examples include the figures of artists and harlequins immortalized by Picasso during his "blue" and "rose" periods. During the 1970s and 1980s, it became a true genre, practiced by many painters, who focused their interest primarily on the figure of the clown.

Mary Brilli expresses the symbolic dimension and hidden meanings to be found in reality with her own distinctive pictorial style. Her style, in fact, is based on a figurative language, in which the drawing is highly accentuated, thus enhancing the subjects' plastic qualities. The bold black line imposes a very rapid rhythm on the composition. However, the artist also combines this formal concreteness with an extremely vibrant and dynamic application of color.

As we can see from an analysis of her works, Mary Brilli is a predominantly figurative painter, favoring elaborate subjects with symbolic overtones. Her technique is grounded in both concrete drawing and vibrant hatching.
