Quirino De Ieso - Flowers

Flowers 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.

In this work, painter Quirino De Ieso offers an expressionist interpretation of the floral composition. The forms are strongly stylized through a composition of lines. In this silkscreen, we also see a more painterly De Ieso, expressively enlivening the composition with large splashes of color.

Quirino De Ieso, born in San Giorgio la Molara in 1926, died in Noto on October 23, 2006. A complex artist, beyond painting, his interests also included music, mathematics, astronomy, and physics. His first exhibition of works took place in 1957 at the Milan Triennale, followed by numerous exhibitions both in Italy and abroad (France, England, Belgium, Poland, the United States, Malta, and Japan). His success is linked in particular to the creation of the "overlapping ink" technique, also known as "reticolato," of which he can be considered the founder.
