Angelo Lamorgese - Lord

The work can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered equally important as historical or religious ones. The Impressionists, in particular, favored subjects related to modern life in urban, bourgeois settings. This work by Angelo Lamorgese, conducted along the lines of existentialism and the analysis of human relationships, explores a bourgeois world, captured in the daily routine of its gestures and rituals.

The depicted scene is indeed realistic, yet it lacks physiognomic details, objective details that could identify the situation or even place it within a social context. Lamorgese's existentialist art is not interested in the external social reality, but rather the inner reality of the two women, which the artist explores through her expressive means. Pictorial deformations are the means through which Lamorgese expresses her existentialist anxieties. The artist precisely frames the scene, defining an interior, a restricted space in which the subjects are forced to interact with one another. In this space, the artist highlights internal tensions by expressively deforming the figures. The subjects are pervaded by emotional vibrations. These vibrations also reverberate throughout the work, emphasizing the subjects' solitude and difficulty in relating.

Angelo Lamorgese was born in Molfetta in 1951, where he lives and works. He studied at the Art School in Bari, where he developed an early interest in architecture. Since the mid-1970s, he has focused on figurative art, particularly the study of the female figure and the Apulian landscape. His landscapes are a delicate and refined fusion of realism and impressionism. Recently, he has also focused on the subject of the olive tree, another typical feature of the Apulian countryside, developing a highly distinctive, textured technique.
