Renzo Capredoni - Fisherman

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

In this work, painter Renzo Capredoni's style is characterized by the development of a strongly expressionist language. The artist seeks to go beyond what is perceived by the senses to extrapolate the true essence of reality and communicate it on the canvas in a vibrant manner. For this reason, through the application of color, he develops a highly synthesised process that reduces the subject to dense, material layers of paint, in which the painter's emotion is also a key feature, conveyed through his lively gestures. All these elements together constitute the expressionistic power of Renzo Capredoni's painting. The broad brushstrokes, distributed with great force in diagonal or circular movements, construct the figure as a concentration of pure existentialism.

Renzo Capredoni is a Milanese painter born in 1933. Throughout his career, he has focused primarily on horses and female portraits. His painting style is truly eclectic, open to a wide range of experimentation. Indeed, his works showcase stylistic diversity, ranging from classical figurative to abstract expressionism.
