Paolo Zagami - Antiquity

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.

Paolo Zagami's style, in many of his works, consists of a reduction of reality to essential forms. Space becomes complex, multidimensional. Thus, the subjects open up their volumes. Everything is determined by an interplay of interlocking shapes that create a vibrant polychrome. Paolo Zagami's work is undoubtedly strongly influenced by Cubist decompositions or the magical geometries of Paul Klee. However, the artist replaces the rationality of the latter with a more realist approach.

Paolo Alfredo Zagami, painter and teacher, was born in Paternò in 1938. Known as Alfredo,
He embodies a highly modern pictorial style. In the solitude of his pictorial exploration, he has discovered the musicality of various chromatic tones, which he applies to the canvas with the palette knife in the form of small squares and rectangles of various sizes to create landscapes, masks, still lifes, and various compositions.
