FOXES LUIGI
Lodi 1937/2009
Volpi, who had taught pictorial technique at the Cova in Milan, dedicated himself mainly to still lifes, creating repetition of subjects and patterns, excellent for the care and attention to detail, in the search for faithful emulation of reality. His art expresses a search for perfection, the reference to the silence of things and nature.
Volpi's art ranges from interiors with figures, to landscapes, to still lifes. In his meticulous details Volpi allows a cold mental or philosophical detachment to emerge that places him in an ambiguous area between shadow and substance. The depiction, whatever it is, almost always has a collected and meditative tone. It goes beyond the particular quality of the atmospheres, it tends to hide descriptive excesses, to suggest opportunities for in-depth analysis.
Portraits, places, landscapes, still lifes, interiors, unfold not only their own visual language, but make a declaration of their relationship with the rest of our world. It is not difficult to grasp the figurative quality, but the images above all allow us to participate in a poetic, conceptual and substantial dimension.
