About the Item

Lithograph on Magnani-Pescia paper. Paper size 50cmx70cm, work size 40cmx54cm. Excellent condition, no defects. Artist's note on the print "retouché à la main". Hand signed. Lillo Messina was born in 1941 in the small seaside village of Paradiso. In 1961 he left the island to enroll at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome to study painting. His teachers were Pippo Rizzo and Mino Maccari. Figurative since the beginning, Lillo Messina worked throughout the 1960s around a surrealist and psychological vein inspired by the masters of the past (Bosch and Goya) that launched him, at the end of the 1960s, in a long series of personal exhibitions in various Italian cities. In the following decade his painting would trace new themes, such as the sea and ecology, which would enter his restless imagination with an increasingly realistic cut. In fact, from 1980 onwards Messina's painting from surrealist would be almost exclusively hyperrealist, with a single theme: the sea. Starting from the early 90s Messina changes again, his paintings that take on a “geographical”, “aerial” setting. It is the last and most successful invention of Lillo Messina. His seascapes populated by rocks and imaginary islands become the center of a serially organized production around this theme. His painting, always characterized by a great executive technique, lights up with chromatic contrasts and a greater plasticity, even more evident in his “islands” with geometric lines and rough and detailed surfaces. The exhibition held at the National Museum of Castel Sant’Angelo sanctions the definitive recognition of the artist who will continue his activity by developing the themes of his painted island in multiple chromatic and compositional variations.
