On the one hand, the painter's marked expressionist vocation, which tends to emphasize the expression of emotion. Expressionist art seeks to proclaim its moods to the world and flaunt them with passion, and Umberto Bianchini has focused his pictorial research on female faces and figures, arriving at his own entirely original form of expressionism. All this leads the artist to conceive compositions with strong symbolic relevance, where female figures stand out like apparitions in decontextualized spaces, or their faces take center stage like a series of masks. In some cases, the human figure is associated with still life, in a sort of symbiosis between subject and objects. Even in his depiction of landscape, Bianchini maintains his expressionist and symbolist conception.\n\r \nUmberto Bianchini's Expressionism is based on the synthesis of the subject and the transcendence of contingent data in favor of a representation with broader meanings. This synthesis occurs through a dense, highly elaborately applied paint. The figures thus become almost masks, which nevertheless exhibit a very marked plasticity, yet one fashioned exclusively from the vibrations of the paint itself. The brushstrokes are energetic and vigorous in the rough-hewn figures. A palette of very light tones prevails, highlighting the white of the subjects, crossed by deep black shadows. Even in landscape and interior painting, although tied to the reproduction of sensory data, Umberto Bianchini does not deny his Expressionist nature. Thus, even in his views, he seeks to exploit the formal peculiarities of his style to imbue the scene with a profound lyrical and existential meaning. First and foremost, the composition is constructed entirely through color: to transcend contingent data and transfigure reality into the symbolic system of his painting, Bianchini must undermine the drawing grid. In this way, he can exploit all his expressive qualities in the application of color. Indeed, his brushstrokes are dense and carefully crafted to create a continuum between objects and space, in a perfect atmospheric fusion. An atmosphere that we can certainly define as dense with existential vibrations that give Bianchini's landscapes a truly poetic connotation.\r \n\nUmberto Bianchini was born in Florence in 1934 and passed away in 2010. After high school, he began working as a graphic designer and entered the art world by studying painting, with a particular interest in post-Impressionism and Tuscan portrait painters. He participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions and events, garnering critical and public acclaim and winning several awards. He also participated, by invitation, in numerous group exhibitions and international exhibitions. His works are held in private and important public collections. Two of his works were purchased by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers and the Ministry of Tourism and Entertainment. One of his paintings is exhibited at the National Museum in Krakow.","brand":"Libardoni Ornella","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56217996722562,"sku":"OLIB001","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/5.-U.-BIANCHINI-LE-BALLERINE-1.jpg?v=1768470075","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/umberto-bianchini-trittico","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
