A lot of Cucchi’s creations resemble ancient cave-paintings with their textured surfaces and spontaneous charcoal lines; a lot of his imagery also employs such primitive tools and motifs as fire, livestock and eyes, with imagery blurring the lines between faces and landscapes - Ghiaccio...

« I never said I was a poet. If I wrote some texts, I did it out of necessity, like writing a letter to my girlfriend. »
Enzo Cucchi

Bollente is one among many works to exemplify this. Cucchi has noted that emotion is the most important facet of his creativity; he stated: “Everything has to be emotional. Every single sign you make with your hands, your skills, the stuff you draw… Every movement you make should be done emotionally lit.”

What is Transvanguardia ?

Transavanguardia is the Italian version of Neo-Expressionism, referring to an art movement that emerged in Italy and other parts of Western Europe during the 1970s and 1980s. The term translates to beyond the avant-garde. Transavanguardia arose as a reaction against the dominance of conceptual art, reintroducing emotion and reviving painting as a primary medium. The movement marked a return to mythic imagery and figurative art, celebrating a rediscovery of traditional forms and themes in a contemporary context.
