Poetiche dell'incantesimo. Dal Realismo magico alla "pittura digitale"

The research is conducted on figurative painting, within some specific expressions, summarized in the aesthetic category of HYPER FORMALISM (it’s important to stress the difference with the hyper-realism, which has been studied in detail in Part Two, in relation to photography). On a methodological level it’s a phenomenological and historical investigation, which is pursuing research on the philosophical aspects about the rappresentation of the self essential nature, which I began in my thesis and in previous writings. This conception of the image (which consists in the observation of reality, understood as the object, form, substance, and the look’s desire deposited on the things and the world) back in the history of modern art in various forms, wich can be collect under some large matrices of expression, inescapable from the poetic horizon of hyper formalism: Enigma / Rebus; Foreign; Spell/ Suspension Time (the persistence of vision on the object expands the time until it stops, giving the image an iconic value). Through a historical journey that starts from the Italian and German painting of the Twenties, and go through the twentieth century, with references to some artists of the past (Vermeer, Baschenis, Hammersøi…) forerunners of these languages, here will be draw the line of poetry about spells and enigmas of reality; until the results of contemporary digital painting, in which the new technique (revised version of a photo, of a real matter) itself becomes a vehicle of this mental and expressive continuity.
