The Critique
“Geometries that explain but the explanation is linked to the dimension of the other. It is color, 'dimensionality', it is impulse, flair... Art!”
(Angelo Nardi)
"There are deep vibrations... lyricism is present in the dynamic forms that can be glimpsed and in the courage to combine colors with mastery and wisdom."
(Patrizio De Magistris)
"Living and felt material, a journey to be savored consciously and mindfully. An ode to the certainty of know-how."
(Silvia Valente)
When, a few years ago, I met Gabriella, I immediately appreciated her works. Wonderful watercolors with soft and delicate colors. Flowers that enchanted with refined tones and shades, revealing her sensitivity and delicacy. I was not the only one to admire such beauty: men and women of art would stop to contemplate her works, which conveyed serenity of spirit, harmony, and balance.
After some time, the first change. Geometric works, strong colors with representations of landscapes, places always visible and understandable in which the element of color highlighted a search, an attention and a creative ability, a quality of the few artists endowed with great talent.
Later, yet another new painting, very modern, a pure abstract, refined, distinctive in its execution technique in which the element of color plays, as always, a primary role. In front of these works, one is enchanted, admiring the nuances, the color combinations, the blends used that reveal imagination and a very personal design ability, certainly remarkable and out of the ordinary. There is so much concept in these works and, if this happens naturally, we must think we are in the presence of a great artist.
These passages that I wanted to highlight reveal much more. I would like to emphasize one last thing: the painter works through continuous research, and this is due to her intellectual qualities that always lead her to develop new techniques and works of imagination that place her on a pedestal. She thus becomes a reference, an example for those who want to learn and make art in such a way as to amaze and enchant.
Maurizio Campitelli Gabriella Tirincanti was born in Rome to a family that immersed her in the world of art from her very first day of life. Her father Giulio, a journalist by profession but also a refined painter and internationally renowned advertising poster artist, and her mother, also a painter since her days at the art high school on Via Ripetta in Rome, immediately gave her that profound lesson that allowed her to learn and truly belong to the world of art. Their home was frequented by prominent artists such as Orfeo Tamburi and the screenwriter Ennio Flaiano, whose professional and family stories Gabriella remembers. In her memories, the most beautiful thing she says about her father is that above all, he left her a remarkable moral legacy. Everyone who knows her can confirm this. With the intellectual honesty that defines her, she faces the canvas always ready to search for those paths that, with palette in hand, a good artist seeks and experiments with. From her watercolors of landscapes, glimpses, alleys, and scenes of lived life, one can draw stories from her experience. Her skill in the use of colors is even more evident when, as an expert ceramist, she presents her objects in artifacts full of Mediterranean flavor. Her love for the sea, for nature, for animals, and for others, serves as a vehicle for the countless creations in the disciplines she practices. Included are small sculptures made with agglomerated cotton threads, recomposed into figurines of little animals, gnomes, baskets of flowers... said like this it may seem trivial, but when seen and observed, they fully recall the recognizability of her works. The path she follows in painting demonstrates her familiarity with the “material.” A series of paintings features her twines on the traces of sand, gauze immersed in color, at first free and then taken up again by oblique lines that are no longer such but become painting integrated as a whole with the work; her imagination now emerges visibly at first glance, now it breaks, expands, and blends into the marks of post-futurist and expressionist passages. She never stops analyzing her production and, I would say, is the most demanding judge of herself. On the painted surfaces, she often intervenes with color, squeezed directly from the tube onto the canvas in swirls that recall waves, sails, wind, falling snow. All expressed freely, just as she expresses herself in daily relationships. LIBERA/MENTE is the right term to define Gabriella. Currently, she is resuming work akin to post-cubism, made up of circles, triangles, irregular squares, and rounded lines, of a hypothetical horizon of pure color, covering the spaces of the large tiles of an imaginary mosaic. The brightness of her composition reflects her ability to see beyond the “normal” perspective and the ease with which she engages the viewer. The primary colors she uses are vivid, giving lightness and cheerfulness to the composition and creating a happy viewpoint between reality and artifice. Paolo Viterbini Gabriella Tirincanti, a self-taught painter but born into art. She has artistic connections with the “Cento Pittori di via Margutta” and in particular with Alberto Vespaziani. In this artistic context, the painter enjoys painting realistic paintings, in a post-impressionist style with a romantic flavor, in which she uses acrylic colors, watercolors, and pigments. Over time, a natural evolution led her to paint more complex and articulated works, where pictorial compositions featuring geometric figures and pure colors appear: reds, blues, yellows mixed directly on the palette. It is surprising how easily the artist has, in a short time, come to create works reminiscent of the Avant-gardes of the early twentieth century and, in particular, the Cubist movement of the great painter Pablo Picasso, creating the illusion that objects can show new forms different from the traditional ones, depicted in their entirety. More precisely, the painter composes paintings that give the possibility to see the object in its fourth dimension. A pictorial artifice that, combined with an optical illusion and a geometric method, allows the viewer to observe, at the same time: the front, the back section, and even the sides of the object. A little “trick” of lines, colors, and lights, creating a perspective illusion of a fully rounded game. The work viewed, in this editorial context, in fact, presents a series of triangular facets that, together with a unique cubist technique made up of circles, triangles, irregular squares, and pigment colors, are placed in a hypothetical horizon of pure color. A characteristic of these paintings, moreover, is that one can glimpse irregular spaces and large geometric tiles, using a technique that allows the figures to be seen in a formal perspective. A pictorial miracle that allows the visitor the pleasure of observing with their eyes a “deceptive” artifice, idealized between pictorial reality and illusory art. The artist has participated in countless exhibitions in Italy and abroad
