Edoardo Menini

As we all know, the quest for harmony in all its forms is no simple task. Proportion, order, symmetry. It lies above all in the details, where not everyone can grasp the fundamental importance of leaving no stone unturned. Edoardo Menini certainly possesses the gift of harmony. His subtle poetry transcends all forms of heaviness and is directly embodied in the experience of sound.
Menini’s eclectic, inquisitive mind is not only a composer of art, but also of jazz, and it is this multi-faceted sensibility that has led him to draw suggestions from both experiences, creating works that are true music on canvas. His painting never separates itself from its element, featuring – as in a musical score – the creativity of composition: the melody, the elements that follow (sometimes dissonant, sometimes framed), the chords, the marginal notes, as well as a healthy dose of improvisation. Menini defines his work as harmonic abstraction, a form that effectively describes the contamination by proliferation of forms, colors, nuances, matter… of this disorder that is very far from producing mute signs on a canvas. Following the model of Jazz – a theme that is enriched by wild fantasies – Menini redraws new geometries, enclosing them in works that become veritable compositional cycles, such as Jazz in the City, Cycles de Jazz or his Jam session, characterized by flashes of red color. Among his latest works, the suite (from the French estate), said-studio: the monochrome helps to limit that by developing the elements that follow one another, unravel canvas fabric a true sensory journey that is not limited to creating a single story, but to infinity.
