Renzo Capecci - Untitled

The "Still Life" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of the depiction of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with a naturalistic or photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art the "Still Life" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the simple sensory element. The artist Renzo Capecci focused his pictorial research precisely on the still life and floral composition genre, developing his chromatic expressionism.

Looking at Renzo Capecci's works, we immediately realize that his interest lies not so much in the form of objects as in their chromatic qualities. Indeed, almost paradoxically, his still lifes are stripped of their plasticity to deliberately achieve a primary and elemental essentiality. It is in this context, in fact, that the artist can leverage the expressive potential of color. Thus, Renzo Capecci's works are always resolved in a refined chromatic balance, in which the bright, luminous hues of the objects stand out evocatively in the generally dark spaces. In short, the artist recontextualizes the Flemish or Caravaggesque still life; where objects were shaped by light, here it is Expressionist color that gives them life and meaning. Another fundamental component of Capecci's pictorial practice is the material consistency that animates the surfaces of his works.

Renzo Capecci is an artist from Endine, well-known for his still lifes and floral compositions, which have developed a color expressionism. A baker by profession, he has devoted himself passionately to painting, exhibiting his work in New York, Berlin, London, and Venice.
