Great passion for design and colour brought me to admire figurative arts sin childhood. I couldn’t possibly attend any art school , therefore I tried to learn by studying past painters. My first paintings date back to 1970. In this period I worked in Taranto where , for the following 10 years , I began my exhibitions with other painters. My first important exhibition wos in Linburg (Germany) in 1979 at “the Byron house”. Following years were distincted by a continous expressive research , still always referred to the rules of the great past masters. In 1996 I fonde with other painters of Follonica “ The Golfo del Sole association , and remained Member of it untill 2002. From 1999 to 2002 I held course for children to approach painting and Worked with maternal , primary and secondary schools of my city.------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- MAIN EXHIBITIONS OF LAST YEARS---------------------------- ------------ Oct. 99 : ecole des beaux-arts de St. Etienne (France) Sep. 00 : 3° premio estemporanea Piombino (LI) Sep. 00 : Tenuta Presidenziale San Rossore (PI) Oct. 00 : Centro Italo-Georgiano Batumi (Georgia) Nov. 00 : 1° premio estemporanea Follonica (GR) Dec. 00 : Ex Convento del Carmine Firenze Mar. 01 : Galleria “Flory” Viareggio (LU) Apr. 01 : Galleria “la Tuscia” Certaldo (FI) Aug. 05 : San Rossore (PI) ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------Name—Surname……†¦â€¦â€¦â€¦..Roberto Tacconi---------------------------------- Code—Place of residence………..58022—Follonica (Italy) ------------------------------------------------------“fre edom illusion “ 56x106 cm 2003 Oil on blaster“We think to fly free , but as a matter of fact we cover itineraries other had marked out for us” ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------MY WORK-------------------------------------------------------- ------------PAINTING and SCULPTURE ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ After years of figurative painting and in conseguences of philosophy approaches , I reflected a lot on what I wanted to rapresent and how I wanted to rapresent it. After some pauses , studies and attemps I finally understood my direction and tendency : it is to rapresent , through painting and sculpture , what we do not see , like e feeling , an emotion , a desire , a social condition , all of this through shapes and colours that interpret my thought. A paint , a picture , a sculpture , don’t have necessarily to be “beautiful” , but they have certainly to arouse an emotion , an interest and have to bring to reflection. A paint, a picture , a sculpture have to “ speak “ . The birth of a work is long and it’s difficult to tell how it raises. It certainly constructs itself in the mind and it’s a logical conseguence of a philosophy , of a will-power , of a meditation . In the rapresentation of the human body I deal with the “ metamorphosis “ theme. Body empties itself and leale , or try to leave , all influences , all its fears and its materialità and takes on the shape of a bird ( the sea-gull) and tries to fly towards freedom. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------TECHNIQUE----------------------------------- ------ In my paintings I prefer oil colours laid either with brush or spatula and sequently diluted with a lot of turpentine. In this way colours amalgamate with more trasparence and create more movement. Normally I use a stiff surface. Basing on the rapresented subject , I spread a layer of blaster. Sometimes I insert wire netting shake and for soaked paper. Sculptures are realized with soaked paper technique . He structural shape is obtained with wire netting covered with soaked paper . Oil colours are mainly used : myspaceeditor.it
