Rituale

Creator: Orazio De Gennaro
Offered by: Arco Gallery

Description
Orazio De Gennaro’s Rituale is a masterful exploration of texture, color, and materiality, offering a deeply immersive visual experience. This painting reflects the artist’s profound connection to the earth and its organic processes. With a complex interplay of earthy tones—muted mauves, soft blues, deep reds, and subtle greens—De Gennaro creates a surface that feels both weathered and alive. The tactile richness of the composition is achieved through his signature use of raw pigments, marble dust, and natural materials, layered meticulously to create a surface that seems to breathe with geological vitality.

What sets Rituale apart is its ability to evoke a meditative and timeless quality. The painting appears as an ancient wall, eroded by time yet carrying traces of human ritual and memory etched into its layers. De Gennaro’s approach aligns with the Arte Povera movement, but his work possesses an almost spiritual intimacy, as if each layer holds a story waiting to be unraveled. The painting transcends its physical boundaries, offering a contemplative space where abstraction meets archeology, and texture becomes language. Ideal for collectors or interior spaces seeking art that merges organic materiality with contemporary abstraction, Rituale invites close inspection and rewards sustained engagement.
