Giovanni Renna comment
artistic, opinions and comments to the contemporary painter

"Giovanni Renna's pictorial message is intended to provide a different vision of urban architectural space by reducing an explosion of building sections, each of which has a different color. It is therefore an artistic language other than the one that opens up a new tendency of realism mixed with surrealism. The prospect takes on a function not only purely representative of the buildings but also of stimulating the imagination and the search for new plans and settings common to the users of spaces contained in the works.
   Each line, whether straight or curved, has a fantastic and emotional charge that makes it more and more like a road to the infinite part of it. A cyclical path that reflects the cyclicity of the same universe in accordance with the most modern theories of the twentieth century.
   Space and the cosmos are not a straight line but a curve that closes on itself and also contains temporal information as a flow of events and matter. Matter that is also energy vibration and therefore bright and chromatic. Everything starts a journey by itself and in itself it returns. Valid master Giovanni Renna is therefore a theorist of nature and of the cosmos that is explained by art and that will surely impress her interlocutor with his sayings. "

   Thanks to an interesting stylistic timbre, it offers innovative re-readings of mythological data well-supported by symbolic reading keys. The "present / past" binomial embodies in a modus operandi tied to contemporaryity as well as anchored to the classicity of the themes dealt with. It follows a pictorial narrative valid from the surreal perceptual appeal.

  The artist's search comes to a metaphysical result of remarkable visual impact, whose fragments are organized so as to recompose images of ancient beauty. Greek perfection is a place of our soul heir to an ideal model that we have come to be kept in its spiritual dimension through state-of-the-art techniques, aimed at giving life to the story of unstoppable dialectical wisdom. The chairs remain empty or are not available to seat the fragments of human bereavement. The artist with skillful technical perfection reveals his admiration for Riace's brass, but at the same time has a concern that he calls for care, not to miss the inimitable fragments of a past skillfully expressed and celebrated by the artist.

  His art finds its own certainty in mythology, expressing mnemonic spaces, traces of the past we bring in, archaeologists of a distant world, where hot and vibrant chromites tell "frames" in surreal spaces and atmospheres.

The Sicelius beauty of Riace's bronze, reinterpreted through a balanced and clear reference to metaphysics. A classicism decomposed in a modern key, where light and perspective create the personality of the work.
