Quirino De Ieso - man/woman

In the history of art, a clear distinction can often be made between figurative and abstract stylistic currents. However, when an artist's goal is to represent an object that resonates with phenomenal reality but is also charged with hidden and symbolic meaning, this boundary can become blurred. Many of Quirino De Ieso's compositions, especially those in which he uses the "reticulated" technique, still reference reality, but the execution method is linked to a geometric reconstruction and, therefore, to a process of abstraction.

In this masterful work, Quirino De Ieso's compositional approach emerges in a simplified form. The key element is always the line, which in this case, however, limits itself to tracing the forms, synthesizing the features, and hinting at some volumetric detail. The figures, as is typical of this artist's aesthetic, are always iconic, stripped of any particularity and possessing a universal character.

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.
