Cosmic dialogues – by the magazine “Effetto Arte” Quarterly magazine of art and culture directed by Paolo Levi, year 6- # 2-APRIL-June 2016<\/em><\/p>\n The abstract expressionism in which Antonio Corbo lands, far from being the result of a mechanical causality, accurately describes the emotional waves of his unconscious, whose chaotic motion is dominated by an extremely complex and rich impact, artistic and aesthetic.<\/p>\n Corbo paints since the ’60, venturing with different forms of expression: from the figurative, focused on social issues, to the informal in order to describe the birth of the universe and the different forms of life.<\/p>\n The choice of this expressive language aims to go to the source of things to grasp their vital core, their true essence. His paintings now seem to draw a parallel between the cosmos and the inner enclosed in his soul: each color marks the gradual taking of intimate form of visions-in a relentless succession of signs charged with expressive force- and of meanings that seem stolen to dreamland.<\/p>\n The color describes the intricate mazes, as in Nucleo, or glare, sagging and subtle nuances, as in Cosmic Activity 2, which pervade the work area to liven up the composition.<\/p>\n In any case, the movement is central in Antonio Corbo’s work: each painting is animated by energy flows that reveal the patient meticulousness of the painter, but especially his tireless search for visual balance, and finally the ability to give the compositional weaving a joyous sense of freedom.<\/p>\n Thus the whole beauty of the architecture of signs emerges, well-premeditated, which organizes the pictorial space in a plot that exceeds its formal ties to become the revelation of a dream reported by signs, colors, and precious counterpoint of light and shadow.<\/p>\n Colors and signs produce ferments and rhythmic variations that, weaving, describe the unusual union between painting and poetry that has always inhabited the artist’s work.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sandro Serradifalco<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cosmic dialogues – by the magazine “Effetto Arte” Quarterly magazine of art and culture directed by Paolo Levi, year 6- # 2-APRIL-June 2016 The abstract expressionism in which Antonio Corbo lands, far from being the result of a mechanical causality, accurately describes the emotional waves of his unconscious, whose chaotic motion is dominated by an […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":" Dialoghi cosmici - dalla rivista \u201cEffetto Arte\u201d periodico trimestrale d\u2019arte e cultura diretto da Paolo Levi, anno 6- N\u00b02-aprile-giugno 2016<\/em><\/p>\r\n L\u2019espressionismo astratto a cui approda Antonio Corbo, lontano dall\u2019essere frutto di una casualit\u00e0 meccanica, descrive con accuratezza le onde emotive del suo inconscio, il cui moto caotico \u00e8 dominato da una ricerca artistica estremamente complessa e ricca, di sicuro impatto estetico.<\/p>\r\n Corbo dipinge dagli anni Sessanta cimentandosi con diverse forme espressive: partendo dal figurativo, incentrato su tematiche sociali, oggi approda all\u2019informale per descrivere la nascita dell\u2019universo e le diverse forme di vita.<\/p>\r\n La scelta di questo linguaggio espressivo mira ad andare all\u2019origine delle cose per coglierne il nucleo vitale,<\/p>\r\n la vera essenza. I suoi quadri oggi sembrano creare un parallelismo tra il cosmo ed il mondo interiore racchiuso nella sua anima: ogni colore segna il progressivo prendere forma di visioni intimistiche in un\u2019incalzante successione segnica carica di vigore espressivo e di significati che sembrano rubati al mondo dei sogni.<\/p>\r\n Il colore descrive intricati labirinti, come in Nucleo, o bagliori, colature e sfumature sottili, come in Attivit\u00e0 cosmica 2, che pervadono la superficie dell\u2019opera a movimentare la composizione.<\/p>\r\n In ogni caso il movimento \u00e8 centrale nel lavoro di Antonio Corbo: ogni quadro \u00e8 animato da flussi energetici che svelano la paziente meticolosit\u00e0 del pittore, ma soprattutto la sua instancabile ricerca di equilibrio visivo, e infine la capacit\u00e0 di conferire alla tessitura compositiva un senso gioioso di libert\u00e0.<\/p>\r\n Emerge cos\u00ec tutta la bellezza dell\u2019architettura segnica, ben premeditata, che organizza lo spazio pittorico in un ordito che supera i propri vincoli formali per trasformarsi nella rivelazione di un sogno riferito tramite segni, colori, e preziosi contrappunti di luci e ombre.<\/p>\r\n Colori e segni producono fermenti e variazioni ritmiche che, intrecciandosi, descrivono l\u2019inedito connubio tra pittura e poesia che, da sempre, abita il lavoro dell\u2019artista.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2366","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.antoniocorbo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.antoniocorbo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.antoniocorbo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.antoniocorbo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.antoniocorbo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2366"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.antoniocorbo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2366\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.antoniocorbo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
