Angela Occhipinti - Landscape

Landscape has always played a leading role in artistic research, both as a setting and a backdrop, but also as a subject in its own right. The naturalistic description of landscape has been one of the greatest aspirations of artists in every era. Each historical period has given its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its description: first with a research into space, through Brunelleschian perspective in the early Renaissance; then on atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; up to the representation of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

In this landscape, Angela Occhpinti achieves, through the pictorial medium, a delicate fusion between naturalistic rendering and poetry. Indeed, reality seems to be transfigured into a lyrical interpretation of itself that almost transfers it into a dreamlike dimension. All this is translated, from a formal point of view, into a very delicate pictorial approach where the representation of reality occurs in a rarefied way. This means that the recording of realistic details and particulars is lost in favor of a language that tends to be more expressionistic and symbolic. Complicit in this path is the refined pictorial touch of Angela Occhipinti, who synthesizes objects with great delicacy. And so too the color range stands out for a very delicate unnaturalistic tendency, for which the immersion in white and the exaltation of violets translate precisely the poetic sensitivity of the artist and her almost dreamlike interpretation of the landscape.
