Toselli - Still Life

The "Still Life" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the "Still Life" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory aspect.

As we can see from this painting, Toselli has a keen sense of synthetic painting. His is a kind of expressionism of objects, which are reduced to the bare minimum of form and volume with a very marked geometry in a complex space. The protagonist is the densely textured paint layer, which almost creates a relief on the support. In this way, the objects appear vibrant, in an existential interpretation of the still life theme.

Toselli, as we can see from this painting, has developed an in-depth research into the representation of objects and their perception through the genre of still life and floral compositions. His pictorial language is linked to the investigations into form typical of the early twentieth-century avant-garde.
