G. Mariani - Still Life

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.

Mariani's style is highly recognizable, both in his landscapes and still lifes. Color plays a key role, constructing objects in a fundamentally two-dimensional space where the flattened forms conceal their volume. Mariani, in fact, is primarily interested in the application of color, through which he synthesizes the figures and the space they interact with, using textured brushstrokes charged with dense color. The chromatic fields interlock, revealing a rational order in his exploration of reality. Mariani's interpretation is halfway between an impressionistic immediacy and an expressionist desire for synthesis.

The artist G. Mariani stands out for his research into traditional genres such as landscape and still life, through which he has developed a style tending towards post-impressionism with a strong material component.
