Vittorio Strano - Landscape

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 Strano's landscapes are characterized by a sense of the sublime in the presence of nature, but in a more intimate version. His works are often conceived as large views in which the human presence, when contemplated, small and solitary, seems almost lost at the center of the work.

Vittorio Strano's style, consistent throughout his work, is grounded in a keen sense of color and an immediate, cursive application of color. With just a few touches of color, the painter manages to construct his subjects, ensuring a great immediacy in landscapes or life reproductions. It can therefore be said that Strano's stylistic register undoubtedly stems from a distinct impressionistic influence, but this is taken to the extreme of immediacy and rapid execution. In this way, just like the Impressionists, Strano can capture the vibrations of light and atmosphere on objects, yet at the same time, he exerts a more accentuated synthesis of sensory data, achieving a highly lyrical representation of reality. Strano's palette reflects this lyrical intimacy with nature and reality, adopting a chromaticism that avoids excess while remaining respectful of the sensory element.

Vittorio Strano was born in Savignano sul Rubicone in 1936. He moved to Imola where, as a self-taught artist, he encountered artists such as Sarpelli, Raccagni, and Gottarelli. He initially distinguished himself as a leading exponent of Italian Pop Art and a protagonist of the abstract movement. Strano has exhibited throughout Europe, from Moscow to Budapest, as well as in Paris (Art Nouveaux), London, Frankfurt, Geneva, Rome (Fossi Gallery), Sanremo (Contemporary Painters), Rimini, and Bologna (Civic Museum). In recent years, his work has focused on figurative art, interpreted in a more classical and traditional manner.
