Bather Painting

Marco Ronga's works address the themes of the portrait and the human figure and the suggestions of the architecture of the city and the landscape. Portraits of places, landscapes of bodies. The places are rendered with the "Fauves" colors of an emotional relationship, loading the color of the expressiveness of the Mediterranean light: the "genius loci" emerges in an unusual psychological portrait, often far from the more oleographic images of places. Instead, the bodies are perceived as volumes and are captured in moments of dream abandonment, emotionally absent, as observed objects, not as active subjects. They build the space by themselves, in silent choreography, without the need to oppose the background of the landscape. Another central theme of painting is the face that continues to hypnotize the author's thoughts: the intensity of the looks and expressions becomes a possible key to the soul. Since 1993 he has exhibited in Padua, Venice, Vicenza, Trieste, Rome, London etc. It has been a partner of for about twenty years.
