Bruno Donzelli - Idea for the launch of a new diva

The work draws on an Informal aesthetic language. The devastation wrought by World War II left a profound mark on Western civilization, which in the visual arts also resulted in an inability to communicate. For some artists, this challenge led to a complete rejection of any visual language, resulting 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.

In this work, Bruno Donzelli draws on an informal language that develops through a perceptive exercise. The artist begins by acquiring sensory data and reworks it according to his highly personal perception. Thus, the representation of the world almost definitively loses all contact with phenomenal reality, translating into a pure transposition of matter and gesture. Donzelli, in effect, seeks to capture the impression of the world he senses, but this leads him to completely disintegrate form and translate his perception directly into pictorial gesture. In this painting, the artist is able to create a chromatic material that seems alive, dynamic, and constantly evolving. In the intensity of colors that merge into a living organism, existence pulsates in bright, sudden flashes.

Bruno Donzelli was born in Naples in 1941. He made his national debut at the age of twenty-one with an exhibition at the Galleria del Fiorino in Florence. His pictorial production is divided into several cycles: "Ormare," "Siparietti impertinenti," "Mirroring in the Heart of Art," "Nuove Piazzas d'Italia," "Morandina," "Sironiana," and others. His artistic language, which often engages with 20th-century art in a kind of interplay of references, was inspired by a Pop aesthetic. In the late 1960s, however, he developed a fantastical expressionist style with a childlike figuration bordering on cartoonish.
