Oscar Piovosi's figurative, for now continues to be his favorite expression. He paints blue-dominant, interesting human figures, set in topical contexts, outlining the figures with a "neorealist" dark line that makes them stand out from the background. The composition and layout evoke photojournalists, the figures are interpreted with respect for chiaroscuro, volume, painting technique and with a realism that describes the common moments of today's existence, re-proposing in a contemporary key the contents of the American one, representative of incommunicability (see "Phone and... / Informal") where virtual communication isolates, but virtually aggregates. With the "fleeting," very expressive brushstroke, knowledge of anatomy and good overall graphic, chromatic and stylistic approach, he gives a congenial sense of Pop plasticity to the finished product. In Piovosi's paintings, drawing and color are not distinct; in fact, as he paints, he draws. The more harmonious the color becomes, the more precise the drawing becomes. Color has the power to directly influence his style, the artist captures the harmony between multiple relationships and transports them into his own range, developing them according to a new and original logic.
