Guido Armeni - Untitled

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has always been an artist's aspiration. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance, then with atmospheric rendering in the 16th century, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

In this series of landscapes, painter Guido Armeni performs a remarkable feat of subtraction. The artist refines the subject until its true essence is revealed. An essence that relies on figurative language, yet is truly reduced to a minimum. This reduction is synonymous with the purity of the expressive medium, which is embodied in the simplicity of the blue line against the white background. With a few curved strokes and a few washes of color, Armeni manages to convey the landscape image into a dreamlike dimension, thanks precisely to a skillful use of the expressive power of the limited means at his disposal.

Guido Walter Mario Armeni was born in Cremeno di Lecco in 1944. His career took off when, while still a student at the Academy, he won a competition that led to an exhibition at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome. His life and work spanned Ancona and Falconara, cities home to important public monuments designed by this artist. His artistic production draws inspiration from nature, which he interprets in a sort of dreamlike dimension. The theme of the tree is very dear to him, and he has created numerous variations on it. Many of his works are held in important public and private collections.
