Critical notes  
   

PAOLO MASSIMO RUGGERI

will be presenting his latest works in a personal exhibition called « An Italian Painter on the French Riviera » at the Parc Hôtel Boscolo in Nice.

It’s an occasion not to be missed to immerse oneself in the artist’s highly visionary world where the humdrum of everyday reality is rigorously kept at bay. It’s a world of proudly defiant youth, undaunted by miscomprehension, rebellious against academia as against parental authority.

Paolo Massimo Ruggeri has a reputation for being an “art animal”. His intimate acquaintance with art derives from his supernatural endowments that make for the arresting eloquence of his works, a striking mise en scène, and captivating light and colours.

Viewing his works is tantamount to plunging into a sea of passion; it’s a never-ending discovery with intricately miniaturised details that multiply images and ideas in a medley of colours, unfettered by ties with the past.

As a veritable trail blazer, he opens up new avenues and cultural perspectives through his art. His works engage the viewer in a game, entailing intense physical involvement, with the power to cast off even the darkest gloom.
According to Malraux < the French are dejected Italians >. Paolo Massimo Ruggeri sees to rectifying that by offering his fellow French citizens a visual and cultural experience that will afford them the opportunity and pleasure of thinking along novel energy lines in dazzling, spell-binding colours.

< Hats off for the Artist!>.
