{"product_id":"pietro-cordici-arbusto","title":"Pietro Cordici - Shrub","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eFlowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also becomes a way of interpreting reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe language of the painter Pietro Cordici is perfectly recognizable in its expressive peculiarities, founded primarily on the structural value the artist gives to his brushstrokes. His paintings, in fact, are always complex constructions in which space and objects integrate into a multifaceted surface. This occurs because Cordici, evidently inspired by Cézanne and Cubism, arranges his brushstrokes on different planes, enhancing the volumes in an almost geometric manner. The most personal elements of Cordici's style can be recognized in the painter's ability to modulate, in this construction of a multifaceted space, dense networks of long, thin strokes or broad, dense strokes of color. And finally, it is color itself that definitively characterizes Pietro Cordici's personality. The artist is distinguished by his use of accentuated polychromy, which corresponds to the aforementioned complexity of his pictorial layering, and by his choice of warm hues, linked to his homeland, which fill his paintings with an enveloping light. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003ePietro Cordici is a painter originally from Sant'Agata di Militello, where he was born in 1951 and where he still lives and works. His training began with a diploma from the Art Institute of Santo Stefano di Camastra in 1969, and he then attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo. In addition to being a renowned painter and sculptor, Cordici also devoted himself to graphic design and set design. His first exhibition was held in 1966 at the Circolo Universitario Santagatese. In 1977, he moved to Milan, began attending the Brera Academy, and joined the \"Nuovo Informale\" group. In 1978, he returned to figurative art and, upon returning to Sicily, studied the culture and traditions of the Nebrodi Mountains. His works have been exhibited in numerous group and solo shows and are held in various public and private collections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raneri Calogero","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56212919157122,"sku":"CRAN010","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/olio-su-tela-50x60-quadro9-arbusto.jpg?v=1768407601","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/pietro-cordici-arbusto","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
