{"product_id":"spinelli-castore-fiore-fossilizzato","title":"Spinelli Castore - Fossilized Flower","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe work draws on an Informal aesthetic language. The devastation wrought by World War II left a profound mark on Western civilization, which in the visual arts also resulted in an inability to communicate. For some artists, this challenge led to a complete rejection of any visual language, resulting 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe Informal style championed by artist Castore Spinelli is decidedly material. This is immediately apparent in the dense layer of paint that covers the entire surface of the work, creating veritable concretions. The painting almost unfolds in relief, invading the viewer's reality, and its conformation is nourished by the randomness of reality, relying on the expressiveness determined by cracks and crazing. The actual pictorial gesture is embedded in this thick, hard material, which is absorbed by the material almost as if it were a fossil. Compared to the brutality of the material, Spinelli's pictorial style is light and voluptuous, composed of enigmatic and mysterious colored lines. The flower completely loses its features, thus definitively attributing this work to an Informal aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eCastore Spinelli, born in Cermenate in 1916, is the protagonist of an original pictorial production balancing figuration and abstraction. His diaphanous and minimalist landscapes embody the artist's perception of nature, transferred to the canvas in light washes of color. In some cases, his experimentation leads him to an informal aesthetic in which the material is the absolute protagonist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Sensi Luca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56217882624386,"sku":"LSEN001","price":1100.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/1872d39b-078b-4eda-a64c-00b793cb7c86-copia.jpg?v=1768469087","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/spinelli-castore-fiore-fossilizzato","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
