Elio Pulli - Procession

In the history of art, a clear distinction can often be made between figurative and abstract stylistic movements. However, when an artist's goal is to depict an object that resonates with phenomenal reality but is simultaneously charged with hidden and symbolic meaning, this boundary can become blurred. Symbolism and Expressionism are emblematic stylistic movements in their conceptual interpretation of reality, with an iconic rendering of images and a symbolic interpretation in the use of color. In Elio Pulli's paintings, abstract and figurative blend almost seamlessly. Even his favorite subjects are strongly symbolic. In some cases, Pulli enjoys composing crowded scenes, rituals, or processions. Everything, however, is transfigured into an extremely experimental language, always striving for strong expressiveness.

Elio Pulli is an artist who constructs his compositions by relying on the structural and expressive values ​​of color. He typically outlines objects with broad brushstrokes, synthesizing forms with a rather pronounced expressionist approach. Thus, the image is reduced to the essential, expressed only by the color values ​​and the application of brushstrokes on different structural planes to create a more complex surface. The chromatic unity and coherence are extraordinary, so much so that the subject appears to merge with the space in which it interacts. Violet tones, shot through with flashes of light, predominate in a spiritual interpretation of chromaticism.

Elio Pulli is a painter from Alghero born in 1934. His career began at a young age, receiving his first recognition at just eighteen. In 1955, one of Pulli's paintings was exhibited in Rome in a group show with Guttuso, De Chirico, Fausto Pirandello, and Mafai. From then on, several important exhibitions followed throughout Italy (in 1953, 1954, and 1955 in Sassari; in 1969 in Cagliari; in 1991 again in Sassari; in 1995 in Milan; in 1996 in Todi; and in 2001 in Florence and Pisa). In 2001, the municipality of Sassari dedicated a retrospective to him.
