Cornice spezzata in giallo, olio su tela 200X300, anno 2008

Luigi Granetto (Rovereto, Italy - 1950) generated intense motion in the fields of literature, poetry and essays. The aim of inventing efficient editorial formulas has contributed to research in various interdisciplinary aspects of the arts and also deals with music and theater.

Granetto links himself whith that particular lateral expressiveness, which has consolidated itself in the material tonalism of the great Venetian painting. It has provided a latent language to all the Spanish painting, from Greco to the early Picasso, from the Flemmings, French impressionists, German expressonists, to the complex experience of Turner and Bacon. It is the kind painting which abolishes any theological or idealistic absolute from the relationship, between matter and thought, whether this is derived from the Roman humanist tradition, from Pompei to Pontormo, retaken in our age by all that painting strongly motivated by a need to programme, like De Chirico's metaphisics, Ernst's surrealism, the sociology of Sironi or Leger, up to the recent phenomena of American hyper-realism or italian anachronism; or derived from the experience of a Cartesian mechanistic mentality, faithful to the utopic idea of progress like in futuristic experiences, Mondrian's phobic equilibrium, Duchamp's nihilist conceptualism, etc.
This type of Painting in principle eludes any centralization, to establish between itself and the world, an extremely mobile system or swings, able to renew itself within the continous stratification of experiences and solicitations, internal and external to it.
The signs which are recognizable in this kind of painnting are, a picture which is always trying to escape from itself, a discontinuous and vibrant colour, never peremptorius, a lightdfisingaged from the rigid relationship it has with its shadows.
A materiality which conditions the subjectivity of its manipulator. A symbolic system constructed like one of Bach's suite, where the variations of the formal scheme that contains them are more important.
An idealistic tendency always prepared to receive a ciarification of the doubt, to discern the reverse of the medal, to reveal itself. A breadth which is not reduceable to a particular historical age or any chronicle needs.
A suffered and acrobatic resonance with mutations of civilization and finally a profound irritation with rhetoric.
