Zanzi - Untitled

The work is an abstract composition. "Abstract" derives from the Latin term "abstrahere," which means to extract or draw out. The process of abstraction, in fact, consists of eliminating the particular and individual aspects of an object to derive a universal concept. From Kandinsky to Mondrian, from Pollock to Mirò, many painters have pushed the process of abstraction to the limit in their works, paradoxically creating pure forms and colors that do not exist in nature, or translating their emotions and instincts into images.

This work is particularly interesting because it shows a pictorial phase in which Romeo Zanzi abandoned figurative painting to explore abstraction. The composition thus resolves into a geometric system of curves and lines, the same ones that would go on to construct the complex space of his later Expressionist works. The composite nature of the application remains constant, consisting of broad, dense strokes and small, calligraphic touches. The palette is based on a dynamic balance, in a polychromy of emotional and spiritual significance.

Romeo Zanzi is an artist from Alfonsine, born in 1950. In 1975, he graduated in sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, becoming a professor of Art History. From that moment on, he began his primary career as a teacher of Art and Art History. He first taught Art History at the "Don Bosco" High School in Faenza; he then moved to the "Margherita di Savoia" Teacher Training Institute in Ravenna as a teacher of Drawing and Art History. He then moved to the "A. Oriani" Middle School in Alfonsine, where, in addition to teaching Art Education, he served as Deputy Headmaster. He currently holds the chair of Art History at the "G. Ricci Curbastro" High School in Lugo.
