Riccardo Foppa (XX) - Vecchia Milano

Riccardo Foppa's painting has undergone a constant and happy evolution over time, while at the same time preserving its own identity and a distinctive personal character.

An artist who, from the very beginning, has demonstrated the ability to assert himself with formal rigor and balance in his composition, and who today has reached a fully realized expressive maturity.

The study of light and color interprets reality with restrained lyricism and with finesse and elegance.

The balanced composition, the precision of the craft made natural through long experience, denote a notable command of language.

“Old Milan,” observing with acute perception the most evocative corners of an old Milan, reveals once again the pursuit of faithful realism, rich in atmosphere and emotion.

The brushwork is dense and substantial, with pale blue tones, pale ochres, and transparent browns, up to fabulous grey tones, defining an authentic artistic sensibility that attests to its identity.

Foppa has exhibited successfully in the major Italian cities and works in Milan.

It has garnered the approval of critics and collectors at the exhibitions and fairs in which it participated.
