ABOUT
Native of Rome and currently residing in Florence, Marco Minozzi has been honing his painterly skills in figuration, partial abstraction and an individual set of signs and symbolic elements for the past three decades. Initially trained in academic illusionism of the landscape genre, Minozzi has expanded his subjects in order to include the human figure within abstract settings, surrounded by emblematic forms that inevitably trigger the viewer’s perception.
Whereas in various series of paintings by Minozzi the picture is charged with specific social, literary, political and cultural subtexts, other cycles reveal a departure to nature, where the rhythm of brushstrokes and erratic movement of the hand negotiate the painterly process, phenomenology of vision and visuality.
The recent landscapes of Minozzi address the congested, delirious city often contaminated by smog. These paintings frequently convey a sense of nostalgia by juxtaposing classical architecture of bygone eras and modernist apartment buildings within overpopulated cities. For Minozzi, the cityscape is a cultural portrait that is as bewildering as the human psyche. The cityscape cannot but embody the collective unconscious: estranged, distanced, yet in vital flow.
Marco Minozzi is represented by Kellie Miller Arts in Brighton, United Kingdom; Livin’Art in Lucca, Italy; and Fellini Gallery in Kyoto, Japan.
