Keith Richard (2021) Drawing by Alessandro Rizzo

Alessandro Rizzo, born on 10 December 1985 in Garbagnate Milanese, resident in Turate. Painting techniques, or rather, styles, in the contemporary world often fail to maintain the distinctive and identifying traits they had in the past because current artists take inspiration, mix and experiment to give life to an absolutely personal and individual pictorial figure; this type of attitude is able on the one hand to overcome the limits imposed by the pictorial currents of the twentieth century, and on the other to lay the foundations for the research of the artists of tomorrow. Today's protagonist unconsciously chooses to give life to a singular pictorial language in which he masterfully combines two of the most revolutionary movements that have characterized the last century. Everything that in the twentieth century could be against art traditionally understood, was welcomed as a significant innovation to carry out that path of detachment, of countertrend with respect to the academic rules now in contrast with modernity and the upheavals that society was facing; in this context, Expressionism constituted a clear break with Realism but also with Impressionism and all the previous art for its almost overbearing desire to detach itself from aesthetics and harmonic balance to follow instead those disordered inner movements, to sometimes aggressive, intense, unstoppable that belonged to an interiority that was too long separated from the pictorial expression.
