Nani Razetti - I Hate Concrete

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 16th century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism. Even in landscape painting, Nani Razetti never renounces his expressionist and minimalist vision.

Nani Razetti's painting style, both in his existential subjects and his landscapes, is distinguished by its originality, making it highly recognizable. His language can certainly be defined as minimal expressionism. Indeed, the artist creates a highly accentuated synthesis of subjects, achieved entirely through the application of color. The distinctive feature of Razetti's artistic approach is that this synthesis is constructed with very few marks, which stand out in the emptiness of a white space. Hence the strongly minimal nature of Nani Razetti's style, which, however, leverages precisely this suspension in a seemingly infinite space, from which the highly expressive nature of his few pictorial gestures emerges thanks to their powerful personality. This same minimalism is consistently maintained in his palette, which always features the use of one or two colors, chosen according to a profound sense of balance and harmony within the composition.

Nani Razetti was a painter born in Genoa in 1924 and died in Diamante on October 21, 2013. A brilliant and multifaceted artist, a man of great sensitivity, he is remembered not only for his paintings but also as a "Master of Murals." Franco Razetti received numerous awards throughout his career and also participated in the Valbruna Prize.
