The vices

Cheerful painting does not exist. Light-hearted and paradoxical painting exists.

Cheerful painting does not exist. Light-hearted and paradoxical painting exists.

Graziano Lauzana’s “idealized portraits”: somewhere between dreams and reality, fable and parody

According to Vittorio Sgarbi, “Cheerful painting does not exist. Light-hearted and paradoxical painting exists”.

Graziano Lauzana’s “idealized portraits”, too, lie somewhere between dreams and reality, fable and parody. With apparent irony, the painter captures the subtle truth of reality, that which may remain hidden behind his “serious” changing mercurial expressions.

Thematics

Lauzana has always depicted a wide range of subjects, constantly extending his modus operandi, painting according to his whim, frequently changing the perspective from which he interprets the flowing forms and phenomena, adapting his research to a growing number of inner sensations and situations.

Thus, he is able to appreciate the more grotesque aspects with gentle irony, the profoundness of spirituality with a sincere fascination, the human physiognomy with interpretative skill, the primigenial vibrancy of the animal kingdom and the morphological and chromatic richness of the vegetable kingdom.
