Sandro Negri - His Work
Naturally Nature
The whole art by Sandro Negri expresses a perfect communion between man and nature; the harmonic and symbiotical union nearly suspended beyond time, originates from themes such as the resping and lavender's picking
, strongly anchored to a centurial past and marked by regular gestures. Farmers are silhouettes moulded by labour's heaviness: they perform and only slightly modify the harsh and inexorable rhythm imposed by earth and yield to it through a daily struggle, carried on with sincere and admired respect.
This artist from Mantua gives his painting a temporal dimension, thanks to an essential pictorial idea, which, although in a fresh figuration of traditional kind, does not indulge over a descriptive detail with gratification, but returns an interiorized vision of Mantua's endless plat lands. Negri's gesture is quick, spontaneous and aggressive, the thick oil, directly poured on the canvas and the use of the spatula at the start create mellow colours with a swift and unravelled stroke of the brush, with a modern european root. Fluid and musical intervention of the painter evolves into a joyful chromatic outburst. The 
burning wheat, golden mimosa and scented lavender indifferently welcome and absorb a farmer from the mid Po-valley or the Provencial area, those two districts being alrady lively connected through medieval monastic orders and pilgrimage roads.
Some paintings, although with a firm
coloursome, narrate in in a low voice, nearly in silence; a fire-chain is hanging, the wood pell-mell is staked, the broken branches of the calicanthus are whispering, in a murmur of silent harmonies, simple events, which assume a loving and pregnant meaning and exhale a sense of familiar warmth.
At last other works are more restless and permeated by a feeling of incipient caducity.
