Vittorio Maccioni - Old Houses in Guspini

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the 16th century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism. Vittorio Maccioni's landscape is a clear example of an expressionist landscape. Reality is interpreted in an extremely synthetic manner, with a remarkable exercise in reduction. The surface is completely two-dimensional, with no concession to spatial depth. The landscape is constructed through a simple layering of color. The hues themselves lack a complete connection with reality, lending themselves to a more spiritual than naturalistic interpretation.

This work is one of the beautiful landscapes to which Vittorio Maccioni devoted much of his production. For the Sardinian artist, color and brushstrokes are the fundamental elements of expression. Although firmly rooted in a figurative conception, Maccioni's painting is profoundly material and gestural. The color is distributed in dense, full-bodied layers that almost elevate the painting's surface. Gesture is crucial, capable of giving form to the object with just a few essential touches. The result is a powerfully alive and vibrant depiction, an interpretation of painting that draws on the Post-Impressionist tradition to achieve an extraordinary contemporaneity.

Vittorio Maccioni is a painter originally from Carbonia. He has participated, as an invited guest, in major regional, national, and international exhibitions, receiving critical acclaim and numerous awards.
