Innocenzo Melani - Untitled

This work is typical of Innocenzo Melani's oeuvre. His favorite subjects are female figures, often portrayed in graceful poses and always dressed in a light white dress and a large hat.

The work in question uses a figurative artistic language. Melani adheres to a completely naturalistic rendering of the subject, free from any subjective interpretation. However, unlike his lithophotographic production, which exhibits an almost photographic realism that captures every detail with the utmost care, in the oil technique we can appreciate a more painterly Melani. The figure appears more diaphanous, almost insubstantial and devoid of volume. A white patch whose expressiveness is derived from chromatic values ​​and a lively, vibrant brushstroke. Likewise, the landscape, which seems constructed from overlapping bands of color, relies on tonal values ​​and the vivacity of the brushstroke.

Innocenzo Melani was born in 1933. He is a painter who has chosen to devote himself almost entirely to female subjects, portraying them in various situations, always united, however, by a sense of unreality, almost as if they were images from a dream or a memory. His paintings today belong to private and public collections in the USA and Switzerland, Peru and Germany, Portugal and Canada, as well as in Japan, Austria, Norway, Spain, and Belgium.
