Elvio Marchionni - Untitled

The human figure has always been at the center of artistic research. Since the age
classical naturalistic rendering of human anatomy was one of the goals
main works of painters and sculptors of all times. The representation of the nude is the
maximum expression of this aspiration, transversal to all eras and
all stylistic currents. In fact, in addition to the naturalistic interpretations,
of the Renaissance and of the various classicisms, which aim at a representation
truthful and detailed of the human body, the nude was also the protagonist
within the new aesthetic concepts brought by the avant-garde
historical, such as in cubism, expressionism and surrealism.

Even in this painting from the Seventies Elvio Marchionni shows all
the technical skill he is capable of, in achieving a naturalistic rendering
total and technically perfect. The model's anatomy is represented in
every little detail, but it is above all the details that determine the
great truth and naturalness of this body: the softness of the complexion, which
it almost seems to suggest the tactile effect of the epidermis; the dosage of light
which illuminates the model in a suggestive and scenographic way. Marchionni
achieves a concrete plasticity which is expressed in the creation of forms
full and flourishing which, again, have to do with his quotationism
classicist. On the other hand, the determination of the space of the work is made
through a completely free and abstract pictorial style that preludes the
hybridizations between present and past that have made the works of this artist famous
artist.

Elvio Marchionni is a painter born in Spello in 1954. All his research
artistic is based on the recovery of memory and emotions of the past.
His paintings appear as fragments of torn frescoes, quotations from the
fifteenth-century Umbrian painting of which Marchionni is a great connoisseur.
His sculptures presuppose the study of harmony and proportions
Renaissance. However, this path of memory recovery merges, in
Marchionni, to a careful research on the artistic language towards a
contemporary sensibility.
