Biography
Roberto Lazzarini was born in Massarosa in 1951, with roots firmly anchored in Versilia, just a step from the sea. His artistic journey began at a young age, characterized by continuous research and experimentation. Those who know him personally would say: a restless soul who does not oppose an artistic spirit. His early works, with an expressionist tone, already reveal a strong personality and a creative impulse expressed through the use of color. The chromatic blends are energetic, decisive, often contrasting, with a rich and textured impasto. For many years, Lazzarini struggled to detach himself completely from figuration; he painted men, houses, trees, rivers, animals, set within a very particular space where color dominates over forms. His paintings lack compositional order and do not follow the rules of perspective; they are images of the mind and inner reality materialized on the canvas in a spontaneous, gestural manner. There is no preparatory drawing or rational scheme; the idea erupts forcefully and invades the canvas space. Lazzarini prefers to use a spatula over a brush because the mark is sharp, and the gesture expresses strength and determination, with no turning back. Over the years, he gradually moved away from figurative representation and began exploring abstraction, where he seemed to have found his way home. Never has color been more expressive; the gestures are quick and confident, and the forms emerge from the depth of chromatic juxtaposition in a continuous layering. The 2008 collages mark a transition towards seeking a depth or three-dimensionality that is no longer illusion or appearance, with color skillfully balanced on the two-dimensional surface. With these works, the canvases, attached and overlapped one another, extend beyond the frame, creating shadows and subtle reliefs.
- Ada Alexandrova was born in Ust Kamenogorsk in 1984. Her work occupies a point where the distinction between realism and abstraction dissolves, spreading into fluid strategies infused with doubts raised by the practice of painting. Crossings and contradictions challenge certain basic structures without allowing them to harden into ideology. She is convinced by the paradox that confirms a belief: a free coincidence that transcends the opposition between reason and intuition. The artist's stylistic and thematic diversities include a substantial collection of ideas she has increasingly precisely expressed. She manages to recover a daily practice, but always critical. Painting is the only truth surrounded by many others; her works are heterogeneous models that allow, even demand, perpetual change and transformation. She has been working in Italy for some time and creates collaborative works with master Roberto Lazzarini.
