Gianni Bignami - Sea View

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones.

In his paintings, Gianni Bignami displays a highly personal and refined style. While he maintains a figurative approach, he also seeks to push it to a higher expressive height. This pushing concerns primarily the form, whereby the figures are synthesized with light glazes that render them almost evanescent. Then the color, applied in bright, luminous tones, does not fully reflect the tangible reality. Compositionally, the scene engenders a sense of anticipation and suspension in time.

Giovanni Bignami is a painter from Gorgonzola born in 1930. He possesses excellent technique and has developed a highly personal style. His language is figurative, with various forcings to ensure greater expressive force in his work.
