Roberto Merelli - The Tower of Piove di Sacco

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Era, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings.

Roberto Merelli is an artist who has based his artistic language on an expressionism of color. His figures are subjected to a process of formal synthesis, through a lively application of subtle, sinuous lines. The subjects thus appear extremely mobile and lively, shaken by existential vibrations.

Roberto Merelli was born in Venice in 1936. He trained at the Scuola Libera del Nudo of the Venice Academy. He has participated in several solo and group exhibitions. Among his numerous accolades, he was invited to the XXXIV Venice Biennale in 1968 for his "Figurative Arts" series.
