In un’opera di Angelo Marchetti viene rappresentata l’anima. Si tratta di un olio del periodo segnato come ‘La mistica’. La campitura è volutamente surrealista come se il pittore volesse sottolineare una citazione archeologica, passata come passato sembra essere il tema del quadro. Sul fondo l’orizzonte è febbricitante come il calore della pelle al tramonto, un uomo vaga, testimone della presenza sulla scena del pianeta. In primo piano due personaggi guardano una stele di pietra scavata dall’impronta di un uomo che non c’è e che testimonia la sua presenza come assenza. Già! Proprio così, la nostra anima la possiamo vedere solo in negativo, come ritaglio che delinea una forma che non c’è ma che doveva esserci stata un tempo. Ma quale tempo se nella visione il tempo non è coniugato come se non ci fosse per costituzione. Prima l’anima doveva avere una materia che però ora che la si guarda non c’è. Grazie Marchetti di averci ricordato di non essere quello che siamo.

Angelo Marchetti showed in all his drawings and paints exhibited in the “La Cripta” Galery his engagment to show the Man in his effort to to be free from the weight and constrains of the matter, in order to discover again the pure expirit of the birth.

A serious Artist fighting his battle like a Crusade: with authority and firmness, and improving his artistic maturity with the awareness that it is possible to be more convincing by a persuasive language.”

Powers of mind, intellect, cleverness, are the most important powers that the Nature, created by God, provided to Humanity. His appear (last animal created by God at his resemblance) on all fours, wandering, astonish, present.
Concentrated himself, growed, increased, took awareness of himself. Started to graffit on the stones, to cover himself, to extend for survival the complicated combination of his powers. Life started.
The binomial (Art-Man) was created. You Angelo Marchetti whose life started to exalt very young, seems to advance into a driven wood where light slightly penetrates across the centenarian trees where the horizon just glimpses sometimes clear sometimes cloudy....
you followed not yourself, but the true favourite to God and preferred by all the Humanity, you reached the top for an artist making yourself as Teacher for the future Generations who will attempt to the Arts.

by Giuseppe Nasillo

“More than figurative arts, in the common understanding, Angelo Marchetti’s compositions are the description of events showing spiritual forces fighting each other”.

by Antonino De Bono

Main target of Angelo Marchetti was to provide to his paints a lovable mistic rush, to permeate on a fine brightness tissue, to vibrate the spiritual essences and the bodies projected to discover the Life within irrational atmospheres full of metaphysics tensions.

Angelo Marchetti is the lofty artist who identifies himself with ariostic’s lines without any rhetoric neither literary pinchbecks; he is the singer of....
