Riccardo Rossati with Villa Arconati in the Museo Italo Americano San Francisco.
Riccardo Rossati – Villa Arconati & Imaginary Worlds, an exceptional exhibition featuring the works of an Italian artist, whose vision is characterized by surreal and imaginative qualities. This exhibition offers a captivating blend of two distinct themes: the enchanting Villa Arconati, nestled near the city of Milan, and a series of visionary artworks that transport viewers to imaginary cities and places. These paintings offer a window into the artist’s unique perspective and his ability to evoke emotion through his vivid and fantastical creations.
Each series is known for its surreal and imaginative visions, created with a style that exudes a mysterious and magical quality. Rossati’s confident and fluid brushstrokes create a dreamlike world capable of emotionally engaging the viewer. While the works may initially appear to depict reality, his art takes viewers into a mysterious and fantastical realm where nature reigns supreme. The gardens’ baroque architecture is depicted as vigorous, exuberant, and unstoppable, with water cascades replacing traditional pathways and creating a spectacle of energy and beauty. Water plays a significant role in his art. Torrents invade the internal spaces of the villa, resembling natural pathways between rocks. This water penetration gives rise to natural and unique environments, revitalizing these ancient spaces and enhancing well-being.

"Riccardo Rossati experienced a part of the moral and esthetical tension that is De Chirico’s heritage; it is therefore comprehensible how relevant and meaningful is Riccardo’s book title, Il Canto della materia (The Chant of the Matter).
The works presented in this exhibition offer the best explanation of this title, and they let any art lover appreciate the connection between the work of a young Italian painter – nonetheless gifted with a remarkable maturity – and the heritage of De Chirico’s metaphysical painting.
The point of this connection, or divergence, is the “chant” of the pictorial matter. Rossati, coming from an artists family, whose influence is evident but at the same time divergent in terms of personality and expressive independence of his, shares with De Chirico the idea that an artist’s technique comes from his aesthetic ideas, which, in turn, may come to reality only through a technique that necessarily depends on, and is influenced by, these ideas. In itself, the painting matter is inert, as Rossati explained in his treatise; however, it becomes an aesthetical idea only when the artist transforms this matter into something living and conscious.
Rossati aims to represent the vital energy that is latent in the painter’s matter, so that images come out of this matter, made as a living thing by the artist, to become symbols of the animation of all things. Such animation is the essence of art itself, whatever technique is used by the artist."
