- Biographies
- Roberto Lazzarini was born in Massarosa in 1951, his roots are firmly rooted in Versilia, just a stone's throw from the sea. His artistic journey begins at a young age, in constant search and experimentation; those who know him personally would say: a restless soul who does not oppose an artistic spirit. The first works of expressionist stamp already highlight a strong personality and a creative impulse that shows itself in the use of color. The color blends are energetic, decisive, often contrasting, the mixture rich and textural. For many years, Lazzarini could not completely detach himself from figuration; he painted men, houses, trees, rivers, animals, inserted into a space of a completely special kind, where color dominates over forms. His paintings have no compositional order and do not follow the rules of perspective; they are images of the mind and of the inner reality that materialize on the canvas in a scattered, spontaneous and gestural way—there is no preparatory drawing, no rational scheme, the idea bursts forth and invades the space of the canvas. Lazzarini uses the spatula, preferring it to the brush, because the mark is clear, the gesture expresses strength and determination and there is no turning back. As the years pass, he gradually moves away from figurative representation and begins the path of abstraction, where he seems to have found his way home. Never has color been more expressive, the gesture fast and sure, the forms emerge from the depth of chromatic juxtaposition in a continuous layering. The collages of 2008 mark the shift toward exploring a depth or three-dimensionality that is no longer illusion and appearance, color carefully dosed on the two-dimensional surface. With these works, canvases attached and overlapped one above the other protrude from the frame, creating real shadows and reliefs even if slightly perceptible.
