Gianni Leone - The Guardian of Childhood

"Disquiet, anguish, repulsion: these are the first sensations an observer would feel in front of a painting by Gianni Leone, but at the same time an illuminating vision of things. The observer will see: silent faces that crumble, faceless women, beasts that convey sadness or reduced to pure machinery, beings from another world, everything that is part of man's dreams or rather nightmares, nightmares thrown there on the canvas like on an illustrated postcard, aimed at anyone who knows how to read the profound meaning of symbols: the most ancient language and the closest to full consciousness because it is capable of merging intellect and emotions into a single understanding. And here lies the greatness of GL. Symbols have always had a notable importance in his painting. The richness of the signs that the artist develops will immediately become personal, giving rise to extremely intense and significant journeys in the soul as in a mysterious dream in the night. Perhaps revealed by instinct, perhaps a real dream, the author follows his lucid path and Coherent, more so than one might think, and like a narrative text for the initiated, with all the richness of its narrative, in just a few years GL achieved his independent style. His painting distanced itself from all others, but the importance of the figurative element and the value of the symbol remained unchanged in his re-creation of reality, a reality that perhaps no one would ever want to see. GL brought art back to its original mission as a powerful communicator of a message in a direct manner, albeit with a strong hermetic component. The inspiration for GL's works must be sought in philosophical quotations or psychoanalysis, where the intellect and the anomalies of reason play a fundamental role, yet rightly subordinated to the typical language of visual art and the image as a tool for emotional transmission. GL uses mimetic and dreamlike images, and thanks to the visual impact of color and improbable compositions, the observer will find himself overwhelmed by a sense of timelessness, catapulted into a garden of clear messages and ideas.
