HIS BIOGRAPHY

Vincenzo Di Biase was born in Termoli (CB) on 10-11-40. He spent his childhood and youth in this land of Molise with his family. As a child, he soon showed a naturalness and ease of expression in drawing and a certain

sensitivity for color.
As a young graduate, he moved to the capital, attended university, and obtained a degree in Mathematics from the University of Rome La Sapienza, as well as the qualification to teach Mathematics and Physics in
upper secondary schools, winning the relevant competition.
From 1970 to 1975, he collaborated at the Chair of Financial and Actuarial Mathematics at the University "La Sapienza" of Rome with Professors Bruno De Finetti and Bruno Rizzi.
He is the author of scientific and educational communications and articles.
He taught for almost forty years as a tenured professor of Mathematics and Physics at the Collegio Nazareno scientific high school in Rome.
He began his artistic journey almost for fun.
Over the years, this activity, which started as secondary, became a necessary tool to express his imagination.
For three decades now, Vincenzo Di Biase has been painting, expressing through colors inner states of mind transfused into those particular signs, which the artist himself does not intend to rationalize.
Contrary to Croce's aesthetic conception, in which the equation between intuition and expression reigns, according to a rigid mechanism whereby given impressions correspond to given impressions, the artist instead agrees with the
following statement by Pirandello: "not an art as objectification of an impression of reality, but an art that gives a subjective interpretation of the real."
Art, therefore, is not simple knowledge. Art and Science are not opposing realities. The activities of the spirit cannot be separated. While in science there operates an unconscious imagination and a reflected logic, in art there is an
instinctive logic and a conscious imagination.
Because the truth of art, the truth of imagination, is not the common truth.
Today, certainly, painting for Vincenzo Di Biase is no longer just a pastime. The canvases of Vincenzo Di Biase have been defined as such that they come to life and burst with emotions in the soul of those who stop to look at them. They arouse amazement and leave spectators almost speechless, who end up getting lost in that storm of warm, cheerful, playful colors that almost seem to dance together in the void, get lost, and then reunite in a thousand shades. A love, that of Di Biase for art, that drags him, kidnaps him, and takes him away to bring him into the world of inner research so that he can express himself and create spaces, images made of lights and shadows, which are not just signs, but messages. The color comes to life on the canvas.

CURRICULUM

THE CRITIQUE

The right color in the right place

"Every work of art is the child of its time and, often, is the mother of our feelings. Similarly, every cultural period expresses its own art that will never be repeated." Wassily Kandinsky.
In the same way as Kandinsky, Vincenzo Di Biase recovers the same conscious refusal to represent a visible reality of objects.
In Vincenzo Di Biase's works, the viewer is not positioned at the center of the painting but finds themselves within the image itself: it is the colors and lines that, dancing, come out of the canvas to embrace and involve the viewer like "the music of an orchestra slowly, unhurriedly, invades the space of the audience."
It seems that the living soul of Vincenzo Di Biase's colors emits a musical call, when the inflexible will of the brush tears from them a part of life.
The only difference is that music ends when you stop playing, painting does not. It endures in immutable time, with its deafening silence, and the silence is in the screams of the colors, in the lines and shapes of these paintings.
And this music of his, closely linked to mathematics, a derivation of mathematics itself, comes out from his colors, in his brushstrokes, quick, nimble, and fleeting almost like a numerical synthesis. Geometric symbolism plays a decidedly fundamental role in the construction and realization of a non-figurative language.
"A large acute triangle divided into unequal sections, narrowing upwards, schematically but precisely represents spiritual life..." so wrote Wassily Kandinsky. How does the painter Di Biase know where to place his brush? Inspiration, experience, trial and error. This is the art of mathematics: in creating these small, wonderful poems of thought, these sonnets of pure reason. It is an art form that possesses a marvelous capacity for transformation. There is nothing more poetic and visionary, nothing more radical, subversive, and psychedelic than mathematics. Mathematics is the purest of the arts and the most misunderstood.
In some way Vincenzo Di Biase has been able to create something beautiful and profound from nothing, isn't this what art is about?
The works of Vincenzo Di Biase are the transcription in numerical key of his unconscious translated with color, and it is the latter that reveals to us the correspondence with his soul.
He uses colors to express his words as they have greater sensitivity and lead to subtler emotions. With colors he conquers us, captures us, possesses us.
And to paint well for Klee meant this: to put the right color in the right place. The most reflective and pure minds are those who love color above all else.
Through color we see, feel, perceive, touch, and taste with all the senses of Vincenzo Di Biase.
