Description : Il falò durante la nevicata

Oil on glass. At the bottom right are the signature and date, accompanied by the artist's symbol, the stylized figurine of a man in a wheelchair. It is a work on glass by the painter Mario Previ, who has lived and painted in a wheelchair since the age of eighteen, due to quadriplegia resulting from a dive into his Taro. He said of himself: "The world, the passage of time, from this point of view (the wheelchair) teach many things. You learn to wake up every morning with a purpose, even if your body is in pain, if every gesture generates suffering and depending on others and giving up could be an easy solution. And instead, art, painting, together with the serenity of my world, of friends, give me incredible energy. They saved me, giving me the strength to live". In 1974, three years after the accident, inspired by a television program on Yugoslavian naïve painters, in particular by the works on glass of Mijo Kovacic, Previ began to paint and learn the art of painting on glass as a self-taught, until he to make himself known and appreciated for his paintings. In his naifs Mario Previ tells a reality that has almost disappeared, real stories albeit in a fairy-tale tone, he revives lost traditions, slices of life that belonged to other generations, those of peasant civilization (from which he also comes), but what emerges most from his visions are the "forë", those that could once be heard in the "firossi", the traditional evenings of the hamlets of Parma dedicated to meeting to tell anecdotes, stories and historical curiosities, often in front of the fireplace fire, when outside it was cold and snowing. The work is presented in a frame.

Additional Information

Artist: Mario Previ (1953)

Born in 1953 into a peasant family from Borgotaro, at the age of 18, following a dive with friends in the Taro river, he became quadriplegic. Three years later, in 1974, he discovered the naive painting of Mijo Kovacic by chance and decided to devote himself to this art. Four years of self-taught application, day and night, followed. He himself recounted: "It wasn't like today with internet tutorials. Books, magazines and thousands of tests, of colored glass: time never passes for a quadriplegic". He begins to establish himself and the first prizes begin to arrive: Previ creates more than 400 works on glass, as well as 110 limited edition etchings, even if he soon has to give up engravings because their realization causes him too much physical pain. In 1987 he obtained the first electric wheelchair, thanks to which he was able to live with great autonomy. In 1988 he moved from the countryside to the village, in Borgotaro. Among his works we remember in particular the Via Lucis, a series of paintings on the theme of the Via Crucis, placed along the Borgotaro cycle path.

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.
