- Biographies
- Roberto Lazzarini was born in Massarosa in 1951, his roots are firmly rooted in Versilia, a stone’s throw from the sea. His artistic path begins from a young age, in constant search and experimentation, those who know him personally would say: a restless soul who does not oppose an artistic temperament. The early works of expressionist stamp already show a strong personality and a creative impulse that explodes in the use of color. The color blends are energetic, decisive, often contrasting, the paste is rich and tactile. For many years, Lazzarini cannot completely detach from figuration, he paints men, houses, trees, rivers, animals, inserted into a space entirely particular, where color dominates over shapes. His paintings have no compositional order and do not follow the rules of perspective, they are images of the mind and the inner reality that materialize on the canvas in a scattered, spontaneous, and gestural manner; there is no preparatory drawing, there is no rational scheme, the idea erupts forth and invades the space of the canvas. Lazzarini uses the spatula, he favors it to the brush, because the mark is clear, the gesture expresses strength and determination and there is no turning back. Over the years, he gradually moves away from figurative representation and begins the path of abstraction, where he seems to have found his home. Never has color been more expressive, the gesture fast and sure, the forms emerge from the depth of chromatic pairings in a continuous layering. The collages of 2008 mark the shift toward the search for a depth or three-dimensionality that is no longer illusion and appearance, color wisely dosed on the two-dimensional surface. With these works, the canvases attached and overlaid one atop the other protrude from the frame, creating shadows and real reliefs even if slightly perceptible.
