{"product_id":"michele-roccotelli-arancio-azzurro","title":"Michele Roccotelli - Blue Orange","description":"\u003cp\u003eLandscape 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 always been an artist's aspiration. 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 16th century, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eWhile the final result of Michele Roccotelli's works can be described as Informal, we find ourselves faced with a painter closely tied to the sensitive reality of his homeland, Puglia. Indeed, Roccotelli's starting point in developing his paintings is Nature itself. The artist focuses on the study of cultivated fields, focusing on specific details in the execution of the work with the intent of translating their true essence to the canvas. Michele Roccotelli's approach somehow resembles the exponents of the \"Last Naturalism\" movement, who macroscopically enlarged plant elements, thus arriving at Informalism. This influence is elaborated by Michele Roccotelli along with his agitated gestures, which hark back to Abstract Expressionism. Indeed, the gestural brushstrokes and the pictorial material itself become the primary expressive medium in conveying the artist's sensitivity and perception of Nature to the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eMichele Roccotelli (Minervino Murge, 1946) studied art in Bari, where he furthered his studies in Rome. Enrolling in the Faculty of Architecture, he soon turned his attention to painting and teaching, also developing an interest in ceramics. He began exhibiting his work in 1968 and has since held numerous solo exhibitions. The cultural departments of Italian cities organize solo and retrospective exhibitions of his work, he appears at art biennials, and has received several important awards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antonio Civino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218075169154,"sku":"aciv003","price":3000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/PHOTO-2021-11-12-14-20-40.jpg?v=1768470857","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/michele-roccotelli-arancio-azzurro","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
