Biography
Filippo Robboni, was born in Novara, Piedmont, in 1980. He graduated in Painting from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. He has participated in prestigious art awards (in 2004 he was a finalist for the Cairo Prize), achieving critical and public success.
The production of Filippo Robboni, originally from Novara and adopted by Milan, ranges from oil on canvas to watercolors on paper, creations on a white background where precise geometries confine fragments of the human. Torn bodies, uprooted from empty existences, are returned broken, interrupted. The painterly gesture marks the flesh, reveals the skin pigmentation, sketches the chromatic truth. Robboni outlines intimate anatomies of violated identities, disintegrated by the "dense emptiness" of the inaudible.
Broken faces, bodies uprooted from empty existences and returned interrupted. In Filippo Robboni's canvases, uncontrollable tensions confine the visible, denying humanity. Oppressed in a severed corporeality, aphasic presences mutely dialogue in alienating dystopias. Pieces of human. Fragments whose humanity is embodied in its very carnality. Robboni outlines intimate anatomies of violated identities. The density of the oils marks the flesh, the painterly gesture reveals the skin pigmentation, its variations and alterations, sketches the chromatic truth. Held back in the faint outlines, repressed in the constraints, the flesh, cohesive and fluid, irrigates the bodies, pulsates, teems incessantly. A "river of flesh" that, pulsating, seems to exude an evanescent breath - an ephemeral attempt at existence. Open mouths stifle shrill whispers, lifeless vivid eyes are taken from shattered lives: traces of the human continue in the faces of renounced identities. Suspended in the expanded contemporaneity of the inaudible, timeless solitudes are dis-integrated. Denial of humanity.
