Renato CRISCUOLO - Meditation

The act of painting for Renato Criscuolo – Neapolitan artist and undoubted master of contemporary art – is idea, sensation, and emotion. Criscuolo manipulates color and our own emotions through the polyhedric interplay of senses and intermediation of visual perception to reach other sensorial areas that might seem less touchable and yet engaging and absorbing. Before a painting by Criscuolo our observation becomes wider until it reaches flavors, music, silence, odors, bewilderments of the soul, joy, uncontrollable or nostalgic flashing, that reveal the supreme intimacy of the painter and his mastery of the canvas.
