Description of the work
Description of the work
Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.
Roberto Micheli's style is based primarily on a solid drawing structure. Through a highly defined line, the painter first creates the framework of the work, in which the volumes and plastic qualities of the subject are enhanced through a clear linear system. Thus, the folds of the shirt and apron take on prominence, as do the subject's facial features and equipment: everything is executed in perfect life drawing, reproduced with extreme hyperrealist fidelity. The artist's marked plasticity is further enhanced by the light coming from the left and is confirmed by the very compact application of color, which avoids overly painterly effects.
Roberto Micheli was born in Rome in 1940. He attended the poster design course with Professor Ridolfi and the Accademia Romana di San Giacomo with Ziveri. In 1971, he moved to Paris, where he explored various artistic experiences, including ceramics and sculpture. He has held solo and group exhibitions in various cities, and his works are included in several private collections.
