Agostino Pannone - Still Life

The "Still Life" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the "Still Life" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory aspect.

In this painting, artist Agostino Pannoni demonstrates how his pictorial language is always geared toward faithfully transposing reality onto the surface of the work. His primary interest in still life is in the plastic, modeled, and textured qualities, which are softened by a subtle painterly quality, just enough to blend into the atmosphere. Otherwise, the subject stands out clearly, with an almost hyperrealistic clarity. Indeed, one can see a desire to objectively convey onto the canvas, with cold lucidity, the sensory data the painter has before his eyes.

The artist Agostino Pannone is a painter who devotes himself primarily to classical and traditional genres such as landscape painting and still life, dividing his poetics between a lyrical vision of phenomenal reality and an investigation of plastic values.
