Roberto Merelli - Meditation

The human figure has always been at the center of artistic research. Since the classical age, the naturalistic rendering of human anatomy has been a primary goal of painters and sculptors throughout history. The representation of the nude is the ultimate expression of this aspiration, pervasive across all eras and stylistic trends. Indeed, in addition to the naturalistic interpretations of the Renaissance and various classicisms, which aimed for a truthful and detailed representation of the human body, the nude has also been a central theme in the new aesthetic concepts brought about by the historical avant-garde movements, such as Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism.

Roberto Merelli is an artist who has based his artistic language on an expressionism of color. His figures are subjected to a process of formal synthesis, through a lively application of subtle, sinuous lines. The subjects thus appear extremely mobile and lively, shaken by existential vibrations.

Roberto Merelli was born in Venice in 1936. He trained at the Scuola Libera del Nudo of the Venice Academy. He has participated in several solo and group exhibitions. Among his numerous accolades, he was invited to the XXXIV Venice Biennale in 1968 for his "Figurative Arts" series.
