Pizzi Cannella

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pizzi Cannella (born November 20, 1955 as Piero Pizzicannella in Rocca di Papa ) is an Italian painter.

Life

Pizzi Cannella studied painting with Alberto Ziveri at the Art Academy in Rome and at the Philosophical Institute of the University of La Sapienza . In 1984 he moved into a studio in the former Cerere pasta factory in Via degli Ausoni in Rome together with Bruno Ceccobelli and Marco Tirelli. Gianni Dessì, Giuseppe Gallo, and Nunzio also worked there. Together they founded the Nuova Scuola Romana, the New Roman School. He lives in Rome.

Pizzi Cannella soon turned away from an early naturalistic depiction, but never went over to a completely non-representational. If at the beginning of the 80s the spatial references still appear as a cupboard, chest of drawers or jewelry box, he later dispenses with them and lets his preferred motifs appear in a kind of floating state. In addition to vases, lizards, fans, dry flowers and tiles, clothing and jewelry are among the most popular objects of representation that have been reviving Pizzi Cannella's works for decades. If a long, black dress with a V-neckline in Bella Coppia in 1983 is still worn by a dreamy-looking young lady, it appears the following year, hung on a hanger, first in a closet, then floating. Since then the dress appears again and again alone or combined with other motifs, always floating freely. Any form of bracket, such as the clothes hanger could still be, is dispensed with. In 1985, Le perle were still shown in jewelry boxes, after which these were emancipated and repeatedly appeared independently in the work of Pizzi Cannella.
