In each Biancalani's painting there is something that
astonishes. A vase that had fallen onto the ground, and there next to it, some
flowers scattered, naked women offering themselves, either immodestly or falsely
distracted; rolled up mattresses, twisted, abandoned, up against a wall, soaked
in bodily liquids, dreams, exalting abbandon, solitude and suffering; beds like
untidy altars where rites of life and death have been performed; objects from
everyday life that you can see have lived and involve you. They are moments, visions, sensations that Biancalani
captures with his quick but technically perfect painting, finished, and the
picture becomes poetry. A pig hanging, quartered, is a cry of suffering,
almost matyrdom, but never macabre ostentation. The self-portraits are moments of disturbing reflexion where
the observe identifies with the face of the Artist, who is questioning himself
and waiting for an answer from you. Biancalani’s works speak, and move because
the subjects are always real, meditated and poetic; because the colours are
alive and perfect; because the Artist is true. A work by Biancalani doesn’t decorate a wall it doesn’t
make a room more beautiful, it illuminates the mind and the soul. This is why he
is a painter who will live on. The landscapes, while being part of the great Tuscan
tradition, also contain the torment of a person who loves those places and is
part of them: the trees have the austerity of monuments; the skies the breadth
and colours that only people in love can see. The chairs, the armchairs the
tables that bold drapes or sheets, become eloquent witnesses of daily episodes
of family life and, at the same time, mysterious and evocative images blocked in
time. But, above all, the female nudes involve you harmonious bodies,
relaxed, caught in positions that are never tense; they exude sensuality that
does not scandalise, that invites contemplation andfascinates. Then, all of a
sudden, you realise tbe great ability of the painter in playing with the light,
and only then are you able to understand the magic in Biancalani’s paintings. His real ability is just there - the lights come down onto
the objects, lightly touch the bodies, gently penetrating the folds of the cloth
and the twisted forms and mattresses; they lap the walls, vibrate in the
landscapes and everything becomes alive, excites, becomes true Art, that which
lives on.
