Alfio Chicks
Light and geometries of
Simona Clementoni
Born in Martock (TE), 15 November 1943, Alfie Chicks boasts numerous awards and a publication on New Art by Mondadori. Includes also participate in several competitions, including the "World Wide Millennium" in Milan in 1999, "Giovanni Guareschi" in Parma in 2000 and the Biennale d'Arte "A. Cesari of Verona.
young when she moved in Legnano, near Milan, where he attended the Technical Institute, now revealing a strong predisposition for that type of drawing. Returned to their countries of origin, where he currently lives and works, he attended courses at the master Vincent Zanchiello who taught the techniques of painting in the sixteenth century, in which color and light become the essential elements of the composition. From fine art, Alfio chicks go after the metaphysical painting and then the informal, which continues to apply the technique century, clearly visible in the wise use of color that begins to become clearer and brighter, thanks to copious use of ' gold, while remaining predominantly blue, the favorite color of the artist, in its various shades to white. This period also some paintings with strong ethnic influences. Fascinated by Egyptian and Indian culture, he painted totem poles decorated with mysterious signs, graffiti, triangles, rombi e spirali. Tra i simboli più ricorrenti, lo scorpione, il suo segno, e l’occhio di falco, sostituto metonimico dell’artista che osserva, scruta ed indaga. Sono le opere dell’ultimo periodo, però, che decretano la piena maturità tecnica ed emotiva dell’artista, nel ritorno alla pittura che più gli è congeniale, quella metafisica. Inevitabili le suggestioni dechirichiane nella rappresentazione di oggetti totalmente incongrui rispetto al contesto: un manichino senza volto dalle sembianze femminili, simile ad una statua greca, elegantemente avvolto in un drappo azzurro e arancio che sfuma in trasparenze gialle, baroccamente plissettato e fermato su un fianco; sulla sinistra il globo terrestre, il mondo of which the artist feels the city, a constant in his work, on the right, assembled with composure, a still life: a large shell, a bowl of ancient ruins and remains struck by a dazzling ray of light. In the background, a desert landscape in pastel colors, but so distant and indistinct to blend into nothingness. Everything is bathed in a dreamy, almost unreal, where peace and tranquility reign supreme. And more horses, almost crazed, represented in the rigor of classical proportions, surrounded by a sort of cloud of dust which would give them a sense of movement. And then recurrence of the essential architecture, towers, Greek temples, facades of buildings from the perspective that is not realistic, deliberately deformed and elongated. The background, always very distant, hollow and indistinct, giving greater emphasis to the foreground, sometimes mysterious figures, shadowy presence or a simple head and eye greek-profile investigation: is the artist who, confidential and sensitive fearfully , hides behind his mask. More often geometric shapes: boxes, cones, pyramids, spheres, prisms and cubes, even the artist, whose precise nature and "square" is reflected in the rigor of geometric symbols that best represent it.
as a unifying element, a wise and secure mastery of the technique and color, with dramatic effects of light, the result of skill which Alfio Chicks, without the help of brush or any other technical tool, can, with a light hand and expert, to bring to light the light, giving the composition gradients and transparencies, with surprising effects of light and dark. It is precisely the technical expertise, the purity of lines, the care of the sign and details, together with a sensitive temperament and rigorous, making a complete artist Alfio Chicks and refined.
