Painting "Pine forest of MONTE BALDO" oil on cardboard - 1981 - ITALY
Brescia painter ITALO BIGATTI.
Since the 1970s, he has been present at numerous events in Rome, Borgosesia, Bergamo and Naples, and has also held solo exhibitions in Brescia, a city where he has established himself for some time and where he is present at group shows and competitions. Attracted by the landscape, he captures both its mountainous aspects, with the characteristic woodsheds overlooking narrow streets, next to ancient facades with corroded plaster, and the extensive degrading of the vast hilly panoramas: always affected by the underlying presence of man, for a tool left in a corner, for the sheaf just raised.
Bigatti's painting is conducted in an impressionist echo, playing on iridescent tones from gray to ocher, from browns to ancient yellows and purples. The result of a thoughtful synthesis, in the essential compositional structure the subdued voice of poetry formulated by a delicate vein is nevertheless perceptible. Nor should we forget certain light female figures and still lifes in which the fine colourist and the attentive interpreter of a subdued reality are reconfirmed.
