Orlando Padovani - Old Fishermen's Houses

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.

Orlando Padovani's landscapes are suspended in a metaphysical dimension between realism and surrealism. Indeed, what he depicts is perfectly plausible, yet his interpretation transfigures reality into an unreal atmosphere. In this sense, the chromatic contribution of the intense blue that predominates in Padovani's works is fundamental. The color is applied objectively and compactly. Striking with flashes of light, the blue unites sky and sea, filling the surface of the work.

Orlando Padovani is a painter of Calabrian origin who later moved to Lodi. He created the "Bluism" movement, so called because of the intense blue hues that characterize his works.
