Leonora/Leonardo XII

2024

Price: 2950 euro excl vat & shipping

In 1490, Leonardo da Vinci delved into the architect Vitruvius' theory on human movement within circles and squares, blending the human form with geometry.

He used male models and cadavers to study and highlight the “ideal body”, emphasizing perfect proportions akin to human anatomy. This exploration, rooted in the belief that "man is the measure of all things" as the philosopher Protagoras said.

This belief impacted the understanding of the female body, historically overshadowed by the male perspective.

This series challenges the traditional focus on the Vitruvian man, now exploring anatomy through abstract, expressive strokes with a queer approach.

Imagine if Vitruvius had been a woman and Leonardo had been Leonora – how would this have shaped our world?

A (Alphabetical Series)

L’Action Painting & l'école de New York

L’Action Painting ne se limite pas à Pollock et à De Kooning : cette activité « athlétique » qui unit l’artiste, le support et la peinture, se retrouve à des degrés divers chez Arshile Gorky, William Baziotes, Hans Hofmann, Adolph Gotdieb, Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell.

Formes évocatrices, touches parfois idéographiques rappellent l’ascendant que le Surréalisme eut sur la naissance de l’Expressionnisme abstrait, mais impliquent ici un tout autre rapport au support. À cet égard, la série des "Je t'aime" de Motherwell est particulièrement significative, en ce sens qu’elle joue sur une locution très claire (même pour des Américains), mais qui disparaît en tant qu’énoncé pour se fondre dans la peinture : elle le révèle, mais il en affirme la planéité (le support de l’écriture est à deux dimensions) et la taille (disproportion de l’écriture).

Mais l’Action Painting n’est pas tout l’Expressionnisme abstrait : refusant sa gestualité, un certain nombre d’artistes se confrontent aux possibilités offertes par de sobres plans de couleur, éventuellement modulés et aux limites relativement nettes ; cette tendance est dite hard-edge, d’après le titre d’une exposition qui regroupait notamment Barnett Newmann, Ad Reinhardt, Robert Motherwell, Clyfford Still — groupe auquel on ajoute fréquemment Mark Rothko.

Il s’agit pour ces artistes de contrer la traditionnelle antinomie dessin/couleur, démarche typique de l'Expressionnisme abstrait. Pollock y avait réussi par le dripting, De Kooning par la largeur du traitement : le pouvoir incisif du trait et sa confusion possible avec le dessin étaient dans les deux cas éliminés. Les artistes auront donc recours à l’étalement de la couleur, mais de telle manière qu'elle ne restaure en aucune façon la hiérarchie forme/fond (une couleur semblant souvent venir « en avant » d'une autre).

Ad Reinhard aura ainsi recours aux modulations méthodiques sur monochrome, tandis que Rothko accordera son attention aux « frontières vibrantes », les plans de couleurs intenses communiquant par des marges brèves mais indécises qui produisent un effet de flottement généralisé sur la surface de la toile. Cette tendance donnera lieu à une postérité dite « color-field » (champ coloré) durant les années 60.

Une autre option hard-edge conduit par exemple Reinhardt et Barnett Newmann à lier le problème des limites entre les zones internes au tableau aux limites du tableau lui-même (quadrillage régulier chez Reinhardt, séparations verticales chez Newmann) : ce travail connaîtra un prolongement et une radicalisation fondatrice de l'Art minimal chez Frank Stella, quelques années plus tard.

BIO & ARTISTIC VIEW.

Born in Livorno, Tuscany, Italy, September the 13, 1982, Francesco Manetti grew up devoted to Art, especially the visual arts. Since he was a child he nurtured a love for drawing and painting, for graphics and illustration. At the age of 20 he started composing his first works with greater dedication and in-depth research, strongly inspired by the work of contemporary masters such as Jean Michel Basquiat, Mark Rothko, Jean Dubuffet, Franz Kline and Cy Twombly, just to name the most important. At the age of 23 he started studying visual arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara (Italy), where he developed that combination of techniques and disciplines that then characterized his future artistic project. In his early artistic career, parallel to the painting, he dedicated a particular attention to the world of illustration, to which he dedicated his degree thesis, which took place in 2010. He has worked assiduously in the field of illustration collaborating with various publishing houses specialized in illustrated books for children. At the same time, he has carried on his pictorial project, through collective and solo exhibitions, in a constant evolutive “work in progress” that has led him to his actual artistic way based on the abstract expressionism style, a fertile ground for a totally free artistic and existential expression. 

In his artworks Francesco Manetti brings together everything that he assimilates in everyday life, both in visual, auditory and emotional terms. This constant tangle of elements is abstractly translated and visually synthesized by him into images that are deliberately not figurative, but visually poetic. Codes and mappings of the surrounding world summarized in layered emotions that become gesture and color. Delicacy and rude gesture. The call of beauty, through color, composing by contrast. It is the search for the balance between order and chaos that drives him to create paintings. 

Francesco Manetti mainly works with acrylic painting on canvas, that is prepared with a first layer of plaster that represents a real first step in the creation of the artwork. The plaster makes the canvas a more processable surface that can be carved, ribbed, consumed: it's like to give it a “first level of soul”. The artworks then acquires the other “soul's levels” with a stratification of multiple layers, where each one of them represents a different step in the completion of the work: an intricate combination of colors, marks and scratches that goes to compone the unique and final body of the opera.
