Adolfo Mastrovito - Untitled

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 always been an artist's aspiration. 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, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Adolfo Mastrovito's stylistic exploration can be described as a color-based expressionism. The artist reduces reality to its essentials, but does so to highlight his brilliant and dense hues. Thus, the surface presents a flat space, where various objects even overlap, creating bands of color, balanced within the overall composition by the artist's skillful direction. Color also constructs the objects; they are highly generalized, stripped of particulars, taking on an iconic and decisive character. The application is complex, with brushstrokes that, despite their two-dimensionality, somehow attempt to give the objects volume.

Painter Adolfo Mastrovito passed away in 2000. He devoted his entire artistic research to an artistic language that took reality as its subject, transfigured by color. His interpretation of everyday life was transformed into carefully balanced compositions juxtaposing different areas of color.
