THE SPHINX Painting

The artist places the female figure in a dreamlike context, dissecting her face to discover the ancient myth of the sexual act as an obsessive and animalistic expression. From the monstrous face, placed behind the woman's shoulders, beams of light branch out, penetrating into space and disturbing not only the woman who is now succumbing to so much evil, but also the flight composed of a flock of birds that remains divided just like her enigmatic, bisected face. (Arch. Donato Capacchione) Between bright colours and refined gestural touches the pictorial temperament of Ezio Ranaldi grows and develops, a sensitive interpreter of stories and sensations filtered through the lyrical evocation of reality seen and represented. The forms overlap, the impressions overlap, the images are cut out, squared, decomposed. Then, on the surface of the painting harmony is recomposed, and even the most violent counterpoints return in a softly evasive tone. So "The Sphinx" becomes a magic, a continuous invention, a marvellous view. (Antonio Castellana)
