MODERN ART

Francesco Caliendo was a pupil of Giovanni Brancaccio and has exhibited in Italy and abroad. He is an artist with a strong personality, developed along social and civil values, which he expresses through his paintings.

Caliendo explores human suffering and its continuous contradictions, offering viewers a new look at reality and man, trying to unmask every hypocrisy in the relationships that surround us. His is a cultured, dramatic and committed painter, who, through the power of colour and the physical distortions of his figures, seeks the truth in existence, laying bare the negativity of everyday life.

Like all expressionists, Caliendo gives prominence to the inner eye, that is, to a vision that goes from the painter’s soul directly into reality, without aesthetic compromises or mediation. It is emotions and feelings that govern men, to the point of distorting their vision of reality.

The master Francesco Caliendo, with his talent, his extreme sensitivity, his courage to dare and his aesthetic ability, manages to arouse deep and lasting sensations in those who observe his paintings. His works are made unique by a chromatic play of shapes and dimensions that recall the intimate sphere of man, with a technique in which the material, the colours and signals form a simple context, but at the same time are deeply complex, endowed with immediacy, freshness and cleanliness.
