Antonio Nocera - Christ and Pontius Pilate

This silkscreen is a beautiful example of a work inspired by sacred art by the master Antonio Nocera. This artist has created numerous works, both graphic and pictorial, depicting the Passion of Christ. In this specific case, this silkscreen depicts the episode of Christ before Pilate.

Screenprinting is a prime example of Antonio Nocera's style. The artist maintains a connection to phenomenal reality, yet emphasizes it through an expressionist and symbolist lens. Antonio Nocera's compositions are highly stylised, resulting in the entire structure of the work being defined by a combination of very pronounced lines and a sinuous flow. This also gives rise to the elegant deformations of the subjects, who become elongated and lose their facial features. The stylized and iconic figures, with their abstract facial features and the fixed nature of the composition, express the sacred nature of the scene. Colour plays a minor role; it is compact, devoid of pictorial effects; with its nuanced tones, it perfectly complements Nocera's drawing.

Antonio Nocera was born in Caivano in 1949 and trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples. His artistic career developed primarily in Milan, where he lived since 1970 and frequented the artistic circles of Brera and the Navigli area. His fame is now international, thanks to the numerous exhibitions in which his paintings have been shown around the world. His themes often draw from fairy tales and legends, creating symbolic subjects that resonate with contemporary reality. Much of Antonio Nocera's work is inspired by sacred art.
