Nico Cozzi - Untitled

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 sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

As we can see from an analysis of this extremely exemplary work, Nino Cozzi's conception of landscape is essentially expressionist. The artist remains anchored to a figurative representation of the subject, but this representation is not intended to be naturalistic. Indeed, Cozzi transcends the sensory element in favor of a notable emotional, almost spiritual tension within the landscape. For this reason, the objects are subjected to a marked formal synthesis through a very dense, at times textural, layering of paint. The figuration is compressed and deformed in a non-univocal space, constructed along multiple directional lines. The artist's palette also reflects his desire to transcend the purely sensory. With a predominance of red and brown hues, contrasting sharply with the intense blue of the sky and water, the painter decisively leans toward a subjective interpretation of the view.

In his approach to art, artist Nino Cozzi demonstrates a profound connection to the historical avant-garde movements of the early twentieth century, and to Expressionism in particular. His pictorial style is remarkably synthetic, abstracting the forms of objects to achieve a powerfully emotional rendering of reality.
