Michele Fiocco - Thinking Horse on Transparent Emotions

A noble animal, a symbol of beauty and harmony, the horse has repeatedly been a prominent subject in the history of art. Since the fourteenth century, its presence has always been obligatory in battle scenes and equestrian monuments, and painters have always found it a challenge to depict it with anatomical precision and naturalistic rendering.

The research of Veronese artist Michele Fiocco manifests itself in a progressive distancing from tangible reality toward abstract, almost informal modes of representation. The animal subject is always recognizable, but it is subjected to a powerful synthesis that amplifies its expressive power. This type of synthesis draws inspiration from Picasso's primitive graffiti, which simultaneously expands and represents the horse from different visual angles. However, Michele Fiocco's research focuses more on the pictorial material that constructs the figure, which is present, but in a rarefied density that renders it almost impalpable. The animal thus acquires an ethereal consistency, composed of opaque layers superimposed by the painter's gesture.
