Vittorio Strano - Untitled

The human figure has always been at the center of artistic research. Since the classical age, the naturalistic rendering of human anatomy has been a primary goal of painters and sculptors throughout history. The representation of the female figure is an expression of this aspiration, pervasive across all eras and stylistic trends. Indeed, in addition to the naturalistic interpretations of the Renaissance and various classicisms, which aimed for a truthful and detailed representation of the human body, the female figure has also been a central figure in the new aesthetic concepts brought about by the historical avant-garde, such as Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism.

In his exploration of the female figure, Vittorio Strano can be considered, in all respects, a worthy successor to the Expressionist avant-garde. The artist seeks to go beyond what is perceived by the senses to extrapolate the true essence of reality and communicate it on canvas in a frenetic, almost dramatic manner. For this reason, the human figure is interpreted in an extremely synthetic manner, with a highly advanced exercise in reduction. The surface is completely two-dimensional, with no concessions to spatial depth. The brushstrokes delineate the forms in a frenetic and nervous manner. Color is used according to an emotional and spiritual interpretation, without any connection to reality.

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.
