Comment about  "Adrift "(Alla deriva) and "L’essenza della lotta" (Ercole affronta il leone di Nemea)

​

Rapid and material the brush strokes in the artwork of Ugo Bongarzoni Adrift (Alla deriva) where you can see a wreck driven by the powerful sea and in the artwork  L’essenza della lotta in which the mythological Hercules is intent on stifling the terrible lion simply using his own hands. The painting touches and vibrant highlights guarantee to the works a unique dynamism.

 

Special Mention about "Adrift" (Alla deriva)  II Visual Arts Exhibition 2016 Ducal Castle Orsini

​

Adrift (Alla deriva) by UgoBongarzoni is an excitedly telling about a boat during the storm. Flashes of light illuminate the horizon, while the foam of rough sea is breaking on the cliff dragging a boat with torn sails. Conceptually, the work does not focus on a specific moment , but is a set of many details that, described together,  make a moving picture. The pictorial material takes shape in the work thanks to a consistent color deposition and patient work  which needs  repeated drafts. The effectiveness and originality of this technique makes the work a sophisticated pictorial experiment from which we have dynamism and energy.
