Alfonso Borghi - Solar City

The work draws on an Informal aesthetic language. The devastation wrought by the Second World War left a profound mark on Western civilization, which in the visual arts also resulted in an inability to communicate. For some artists, this challenge resulted in a total rejection of any visual language, which resulted in the birth of Informal Art. The various Informal movements are certainly connected to American Abstract Expressionism, especially with regard to the gestural component, but they go further in their rejection of any figurative element, even geometric. Their research focuses instead on the material from which their works are composed.

The style of painter Alfonso Borghi is founded on color, texture, and painterly gesture. These three elements combine on his canvases to create compositions in which form takes a backseat, giving way to an unleashing of creative energy. Although these completely abstract compositions seem to maintain a certain sense of geometry and compositional balance, he seeks to somehow channel his creative flow by arranging his material with a certain balance.

Alfonso Borghi was born in 1944 in Campegine. Already at the age of 18, he had the opportunity to exhibit his work, followed by a trip to Paris, where he studied the historical avant-garde. From the 1980s onwards, various events and exhibitions followed. In 2005, the Palace of Justice in Milan commissioned three works from him. He has held various solo exhibitions in Milan, Correggio, Guastalla, Parma, Reggio Emilia, and San Francisco. In 2014, three important events took place: in June at the Museoteatro della Commenda di Prè in Genoa, with the exhibition "Alchemies of Reality," the same exhibition in August at Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence, and in November at the Rocca Paolina Exhibition Center in Perugia with "Sonorità materiche."
