Rosalia Ribaudo - Clown

The clown was a popular subject among genre painters of the 1970s and 1980s. Many artists dedicated much of their careers to depicting this theme, Romano Mussolini being a prime example. Typically, the interpretation of this subject is similar for all artists who tackle it: the clown appears with his makeup designed to evoke laughter and hilarity, but instead displays a melancholic expression. This contrast is intended to spark an empathetic dialogue with the viewer.

The painter Rosalia Ribaudo's style is essentially based on two elements. First, an expressionistic strain on her subjects. The forms, stripped to the essential, are elongated in an unnatural way. The second element is the material pictorialism of the background, which interacts with the figure in a balanced relationship of colors.

Rosalia Ribaudo is a painter who has developed her own personal artistic language based on the expressionist synthesis of the figure and a gestural pictorial technique.
