SCHWEIZER RICCARDO
Riccardo Schweizer (Mezzano di Primiero 1925 - Casez, Val di Non 2004) at the age of eleven he made his first paintings still exist. He attended the Institute of Industrial Construction of Trento and Belluno and the Art Institute of Carmini of Venice, directed by Giorgio Wenter Marini and where Carlo Scarpa also teaches. He was graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice and he taught painting from 1954 to 1960 as assistant of Bruno Saetti.
In 1950 he left the academy and he went to Vallauris on the Côte d'Azur to know Picasso and his mythical world, Chagall, Cocteau, Tamayo, Pignon and Paul Eluard. Influenced by these meetings, but at the same time away from any artistic movement, Schweizer remains faithful to the idea that art should invade all spheres of reality and in line as far as possible with life.
Schweizer's work in drawing its constitutive element, able to dictate the pace in which you have the formal narrative. If the design in all its forms of meaning, is a kind of intimate figure of his language, the color is testimony to the most sensual and vibrant physicality: cobalt blue, crimson red, golden yellow, moss green and especially the incredible range land.
Investigator of all art forms: painting, sculpture, architecture, design, Riccardo Schweizer is an artist and a modern man. Open and versatile, creative and original, always looking for new ways and interpretation aimed at satisfying his desire for freedom, and expressions of art is absolutely amazing. Though deeply attached to his homeland, Trentino, Schweizer is fascinated by the Mediterranean sun and colorful Provence.
Able to combine tradition and cutting-edge environments and makes everyday objects as if they were real works of art. The exhibition also features limited editions of tableware "Romeo and Juliet" and "Swim".
Schweizer writes: "I do not know how to paint tomorrow, every day they take me emotions that I can not predict the way ... I'm interested too, my studio, the natural environment and the mechanical phenomenon, all these things of concern to society, they are expression, they show the process. Take into account the representation of these moments, these human emotions and tensions, it's my way of being modern and realistic. Anything can happen from this”.
In 2011, the Mart museum arrives in Venice with a major exhibition dedicated to the artist of Trentino: “Riccardo Schweizer. Pittore - Designer”, edited by Elizabeth Barisoni, scheduled at the Fondazione Querini Stampalia of Venice from 31/05/2011 to 27/11/2011. The Schweizer works are over 50: paintings by Picasso matrix of the fifties to pottery, to the ceramic panels, stained glass and sculptures in concrete and Plexiglas display along with some original pieces of the seventies and eighties.
