Description from the seller
Title: Tilted Night Over the Village
Artist: V. Altieri
Technique: Oil on panel
Dimensions: 40 × 40 cm
In this oil painting on panel, 40x40 cm, V. Altieri presents an imaginary village gathered under a compact night sky, a deep blue, in which a slender crescent of yellow moon opens the scene like a small luminous sign suspended in the silence. The architectures, essential and devoid of superfluous details, emerge from this dark backdrop as colored silhouettes that seem to oscillate, leaning toward one another, suggesting a light and almost playful movement within the composition. The houses and towers unfold in a sequence of crisp geometric volumes: rectangles, trapezoids, and parallelograms that build a fantastical urban fabric, more dreamed than real. The slanted planes of the façades, dotted with small black windows regularly arranged, create a visual rhythm that guides the gaze from one building to another, while the arches at the base recall ancient porticoes or suspended bridges, introducing a subtle architectural Italian memory reinterpreted in a contemporary key. The bell tower with yellow roof and red pennant that rises on the left acts as the vertical fulcrum of the scene, like a navigational signal in this deliberately unstable landscape. The palette is lively and compact, dominated by vivid greens, bright yellows, warm reds, and intense blues, laid out in flat color fields that renounce shadows and chiaroscuro to favor the power of pure color. The green volumes facing the foreground evoke tree crowns or gentle hills, constructing an organic base on which the architectures rise with natural ease. The alternation of cold and warm surfaces – the deep blue of the sky and the building on the left, the yellows and reds of the houses and details – creates a harmonious balance, while the large red circle on the right introduces an abstract and solar note, like a counterpoint to the moon above. All in all, the work conveys the atmosphere of a silent yet vibrant city, caught in a suspended moment of night, when geometries seem to dissolve and urban space becomes a theater of shapes and colors. The absence of human figures emphasizes the dreamlike character of the landscape, letting the inclinations of the volumes, the windows as small graphic signs, and the dialogue between sky and architectures tell the inner life of the village.
