His pictorial opera is penetrating, filled of this conceptuality, with a complex though spontaneous iconography vaguely anthropomorphic, with the help of a pure chromatism, enlightened, this assumes elements of formal and spiritual magic.
Whimsical Fantasies
About the artistic operas of Maestro Gracchi in Art. Alex Gracchi.
Dreams….Dreams are like this….
It is a moment of interior life, perceptions, thinking, lived by the subject as real and it has a heavy recollection when awaken.
It is very subtle, almost non existent, the end of the dream with the empiricism (or sensible knowledge) Aristotle, by what thru the power “comun sensorial”, the senses arrived till the perception: the reason finally intervenes on the perception itself reaching the concepts.
The pictorial opera of Maestro Gracchi is penetrating, filled of this conceptuality, with a complex though spontaneous iconography vaguely anthropomorphic, with the help of a pure chromatism, enlightened, this assumes elements of formal and spiritual magic.
Alex, in a genious way, has known to create the oneiric entity, seen not only by the physical eyes but, though penetrates in a sublime way, in a sort of osmosis spiritual, of the psyche and the reader’s mind.
The sensual strokes, the use of pure color, the almost fluid forms, liquids, that “happily” toward the base, leaving behind formalities pseudo antropomorphic, all of this gives the Opera a dreamy aura, precisely
of visions that goes beyond the limit of reality to fluctuate in an oneiric limb that is sublime to let go.
The validity, truly genius of the Opera Alex, consist, like in all real artists, in the creative novelty of his Art: he has known to put together a scope and a final significance and exhaustive in the research phenomenological and existentially of such Artists of the informal like Hans Hartung, J Fautrier and the same J Dubeuffet, and still comes Karel Appel till our Alberto Burri and Lucio Fontana, bringing to the extreme the feeling with the use of contrasting colors cleaned and definitive.
All of this that till know had tried to find it in the informal empiricism, Maestro Alex takes intuitive and palpitating consistency.
Almost a life in a nutshell, almost an eco of culture and of lived thinking, almost ectoplasm or ghostly that assumed emotionalism and vitalism, rendering concrete a world of dreams, of visual feelings and perceptible in a cloud of surreal abstraction, distinguishing and still blending the “nous poieticos” Aristotelic.
And as a suggestion of the oniricitaof his art Maestro Gracchi, in some Operas expresses in addition of the astral element that is always the essence, the aspiring emblem and characteristic of his unattainable, of all his dreams, the moon.
Certainly Maestro Gracchi, has entered in the realm of the few elected, of those sublimely Artists that have that extra gene, the gene of extreme sensibility and spiritual richness that allows them to anticipate, and not copying, to propose and not to re-propose, all of that is a message of express artistic novelty, that is a message of civility, that is a message of life.
It would be fortunate his sharp presence in the world of Arts at an international level, as a demonstration that the Italian genius its still more than ever active, more than ever live.
