"Lodovico Capponi" by Bronzino

The Sliding springs from a triangular figure, an upside-down isosceles triangle which slides towards one side and shifts all the weight towards one side of the surface. It is an unbalancing, a removal of balance at the centre. It leads to movement. It makes the composition slide from a centre towards a lower point. The shift always remains contained within the pictorial space.

Relating
This series of pictures regards all of those paintings which sprang from an external request. They thus derive from having come into contact with the mood of someone else’s palette and of having displayed the chromatic impressions one layer on top of the other or placed alongside one of my pre-existing paintings. Usually it is a question of having related to another artist’s painting, but what also occasionally happens is that I compare myself with another language, for example a literary one, or that I am inspired by a city. This series of paintings can also spring from a form of commissioning, in other words the work I am weighing myself up against can be determined by someone else.

Painting
Opere pittoriche a olio o acrilico su diversi supporti, ma prevalentemente su tela
