ALDO RISO 1927-2008 Large Watercolor dimensions 69.5 x 52.5 at sight signed lower leftAldo Riso was born in 1927 in Santa Maria di Leuca, in the province of Lecce. He devoted himself to his studies until obtaining a law degree, but at the same time deepened his knowledge of pictorial techniques from an early age, preferring the watercolor technique to depict the famous views of his Puglia and southern Italy in general. He organized his first exhibition in 1956. His artistic imagination earned him considerable commercial success, which led him to exhibit not only in Italy, but also in Germany, Austria, France, Greece, Serbia, Spain, Canada, the United States, Mexico, Argentina and South Africa. In the early 1970s, he was invited to create a large mural in Ustica, and his love for the island would remain with him throughout his life. His style is characterized by a clear, intense, and sunny style of painting, where landscapes are flooded with a light that only watercolor can convey in its typical transparencies. Houses, boats, and fishermen breathe, rarefied and suspended under implacable skies and facing crystalline seas. Important critics and figures from the world of culture and entertainment were interested in his work. His works are featured in numerous public and private collections. Aldo Riso died in Rome in 2008. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
