Sabattini<\/strong>\u00a0was born in Fabbrico (RE) on 12 March 1966. He lives and works in Correggio (RE) and Verona. In the 80s after completing his studies in Art and Architecture he began alternating his time between work and painting and eventually devoted himself entirely to the latter at the end of the 90s. He experimented with materials and techniques that lead him to perfect his artistic stroke which is very much appreciated by the general public in his exhibitions not only in Italy but also in large foreign cities such as Lienz, Edinburgh and New York.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top-bottom” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”667″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”665″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”666″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”664″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top-bottom” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1625047792434{padding-right: 10% !important;}”]The paintings of Sabattini, a young \u201cbiographer\u201d of our time, speak for themselves. He specializes in taking \u201cpictures with a brush\u201d of contemporary social times and reality. His works of art speak (but they \u201clisten\u201d as well in order to regenerate into new documenting images) of themes that are the same as those of people running on the \u201ctrack\u201d of everyday life. The sound of colors: do you find it a little risky as a title? From a purely auditory point of view you may be right: but if you turn on the imagination switch and mix \u201cyoung at heart\u201d with non-oxidizing enthusiasm, quite a few whispers, shrieks and even incoming \u201ccalls\u201d from the colors on the canvas, well then yes, you will perceive them for real. All that is needed is a little commitment and the will to participate. Sabattini\u2019s cans and \u201ccontainers\u201d (heaven knows what he was expecting by his inspiration!) clash amongst each other in the mechanical structures they are composed of. His wrathful computers croak. They are the spokesman of plummeting stock markets or \u201cexplosive\u201d news like frogs in heat. Then there are the women who scream their disappointment at the lack of man\u2019s understanding. The automatons too are present. They are painted as if they were men who cast off the rigid voice that machines use by emitting real words, as if they were poets praising the chatelaine singing songs from Provence. The Maestro put an enormous amount of colors in the costumes which were filtered by his rhythmic irony. And what about the cigarette butts? Even those, in their futility, that make the noise of repentance, taking on the fault of the \u201cmortal threat\u201d that strike our lungs. What else does it take to understand the \u201cpainting-consciousness\u201d by Andrea Sabattini and become part of it? The \u201cSound of colors\u201d exhibition in Verona \u2013 Castelvecchio Museum \u2013 From the mid-80s Andrea Sabattini is a graphic designer and painter yet maintains his own \u201cgraffiti-comic\u201d style that is appreciated by the general public in his exhibitions not only in Italy but also in large foreign cities such as Lienz, Edinburgh and New York, where the Street Art \u201cgraffiti\u201d movement began in the 70s. Like the New York graffiti artists and the well-known Italian graffiti artists: Bros, Frode, Ivan and Bl\u00f9 and even Sabba who performs during the night, using spray cans, on the walls and under the bridges of the Milan-Bologna railway, endlessly reproducing in all possible positions his \u201clittle man\u201d, who is always wide-eyed looking at people and the world like Keith Haring\u2019s work Without a doubt, in human history, streets and walls are the most effective means for expressing works of art. They can be seen by anyone who passes by and \u201cSabba\u201d is well aware of this but he soon decided to reproduce his \u201ctags\u201d and graffiti on canvas, using oil paints, acrylics and inks instead of spray cans and now signs the canvas with his legal name. In Sabattini\u2019s paintings one can note a touch of American Pop culture especially in his \u201call eyes\u201d fictional character, which represents people and the \u201cmass\u201d and their incessant curiosity, that are always peering at you in everything you do. His stylized character takes on his own evidence, his own expressive moment, supported by vibrant chromatic lighting, which is an emotional and allusive instant, or rather the sign of the artist\u2019s picturesque communication with his dreamlike and fantastic visions deriving from objective reality. His works of art as well come from the digression of nostalgic wandering in memories. However they create a fascinating and unpredictable world resulting from the chromatic effects and the lively sense of his tales of everyday life. \u2013 Fabio Tedeschi \u2013<\/p>\n

A battered body from the stigmata of passion. It reverberates through expressiveness and is intended to convey a personal experience that is expressed thanks to a pictorial dimension which is unpredictably lit. Female meat, marked by a vigorous red, opens to show a corporeality, even interior. An inexhaustible source of introspective torment. A slice from a deformed body suddenly appears from the neutrality of the base, amplifies its significant scope and seeks an extrinsic sensory alliance. Fabio Valentini\u2019s painting passes through the narrow concept of form and surpasses it in the name of an expressionist gesture that broadens into new fields of anatomical knowledge and it contaminates the dermis via the high metamorphic rations that are typical of the ambiguous experience of the contemporary world. The true protagonist of his poetic work is passion, the founding experience of existence: a feeling that is intended not only in a strictly erotic way but also in its most intimate and collected components. Paraphrasing what Teresa Macri claims \u201cthe contemporary body is now a map on which different synaesthesia and instinctual feelings converge.\u201d The dermal inquiry is the most appropriate communication tool for detecting existential mappings and their sublimated passion, intercepted by the aggressive pictorial dimension. These sanguine and evocative representations rise powerfully against the exploitation of the body seen as a fetish, a sort of subversion of aesthetic sensuality imposed by the unrestrained and asexual consumerism of contemporary society, a return to the original meanings, a primordial extreme, to a carnal and raw dimension which has an incredible and terrible outcome.

I firmly believe in the unforced ability of the users of works of art to develop ideas based on their own visual culture and on their own emotions. The attempt, as well, to introduce a subject as complex as Painting, (and my respect for it leads me to use a capital P, Painting), inevitably leads to talk of passion, personal taste and opinions that are strong and difficult to share. There is a risk of using irritating or inappropriate phrases. I am already \u201cfighting\u201d my own banalities, the limited incisiveness of my ideas: a daily and violent \u201cstruggle\u201d that leads to trying, revisiting and destroying part of my work in a state of perpetual dissatisfaction. I would like to delegate the uncomfortable task in these few lines taken from a book, which might be termed as \u201cin this field\u201d but if it is considered as in this filed then I would define it as the \u201chuman field\u201d. \u201cI admire \u2013 and I have never admired (I was about to say envied) so much, as in the predicament of this lecture of mine \u2013 the scholars of art, accredited scholars, the \u201cattitr\u00e9s\u201d critics who know how to place the entire work of an artist into a clear definition, who possess aesthetically precise instruments like appropriate wording, appropriate language and indisputable documents; who know how to skillfully and effectively, bend, direct, channel inductions, inform, compare and contrast: how to infallibly get the desired predetermined conclusion, appropriate for a given artistic orientation; and when finally they are in front of the work of art \u2013 of any author, of any country \u2013 they have a definitive, convincing judgment. I do not know how to do any of that: I, a painter, look at, say, a picture, a picture that I like (and how this verb sounds out of tune is already a clue) and I wish I could stop the train of thought and open my eyes, open them as much as possible and become master of this work and not understand it but just take it; dominate it and not rationally but with an instinctive act of violence (\u2026) I believe that every critical reasoning remains sterile and idle if it is not heated by a touch of poetry (\u2026). \u201cFelice Casorati, Writings interviews letters, Abscondita SRL, Milan 2004, p. 66.
