Roberto Baglietto - Christ Among the Anemones

The work draws on an Informal aesthetic language. The devastation wrought by the Second World War left a profound mark on Western civilization, which in the visual arts also resulted in an inability to communicate. For some artists, this challenge resulted in a total rejection of any visual language, which resulted in the birth of Informal Art. The various Informal movements are certainly connected to American Abstract Expressionism, especially with regard to the gestural component, but they go further in their rejection of any figurative element, even geometric. Their research focuses instead on the material from which their works are composed.

The works of artist Roberto Baglietto are characterized by a powerfully informal and visually dramatic language, undoubtedly the result of energetic and instinctive gestures. This gesture leads the painter to concentrate long, forceful brushstrokes toward the center of the canvas, essentially following circular movements. This circular motion is unstoppable and imparts an unstoppable rhythm to the work, heightening its expressive power. In this "Christ Among the Anemones," Roberto Baglietto also uses the theme of the crown of thorns to drive his composition, which unfolds as a dynamic rotation of long, intersecting strokes. Figurative references, therefore, can also be a useful starting point, but everything is transfigured by the painter's agitated gestures and his sense of movement and dynamism.

Roberto Baglietto is a painter originally from Albisola, where he was born in 1957. He is completely devoted to an informal style. His work is distinguished by a frenetic and dramatic gesture, which creates compositions characterized by great dynamism.
