Price to be referred to each

The work draws inspiration from an Informal aesthetic. The devastation wrought by World War II left a profound mark on Western civilization, which in the visual arts also resulted in an inability to communicate. For some artists, this challenge led to a complete rejection of any visual language, resulting in the birth of Informal Art. The various Informal movements are certainly connected to American Abstract Expressionism, especially with regard to the gestural component, but they go further in their rejection of any figurative element, even geometric. Their research focuses instead on the materials with which they compose their works.

Even in works not directly attributable to Late Naturalism, Gianni Borta's informal art develops through a perceptive exercise. The artist begins by acquiring sensory data and reworks it according to his highly personal sensibility. Thus, even a landscape composition, and not just a floral one, almost definitively loses all contact with phenomenal reality, becoming a pure transposition of matter and gesture. Indeed, Gianni Borta seeks to capture the subject's impression, but this leads him to completely disintegrate the form and translate his perception directly into pictorial gesture. The artist is always capable of creating a chromatic material that seems alive, dynamic, and constantly evolving. In the intensity of colors that merge into a living organism, existence pulsates in bright, sudden flashes.
