Bruno Secci - Martini Dry

The "Still Life" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the "Still Life" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory aspect.

As we can see from this painting, Bruno Secci has a keen sense of synthetic painting. His is a kind of expressionism of objects, which are reduced to the bare minimum with a very marked line and a two-dimensional structure. Spatial rules are completely subverted, creating a two-dimensional yet extremely complex environment, constructed from multiple viewpoints. The protagonist is the densely textured paint layer; indeed, Bruno Secci creates a raised surface on the support using the fresh plaster, which is also engraved, enhancing the gestural component of this pictorial work.

Bruno Secci is an artist active in the 1950s. His pictorial research is grounded in a highly experimental approach, blending an Expressionist synthesis with Cubist elements and a conception of material and gesture that harks back to Informal Art.
