About the Item

I am not afraid to define it as a metaphysical painting, - says Angelo Crespi - and right in the suffix "beyond" (in Greek "meta") also of the title "Oltremare" the intent to climb over the wall of the sensible and the real is revealed. There is another vein to which the new paintings of Nahmad refer and it is that of Romanticism, in the strong idea that art should represent the sublime, not the beautiful. The skies like John Constable, thick with purplish blue clouds (such as "Rainstorm over the Sea" of 1828 which anticipates by a century modernity), the stormy seas like William Turner, give the viewer the idea of infinity and vastness of nature compared to the finitude and misery of the human. If Caspar Friedrich depicted in his canvases annihilated men in front of the violence of natural elements, the protagonists in Barbara's paintings of this disorientation it is we who observe it from the outside unfolding of the scene. And the feeling of disorientation in the face of infinity generates terror, that "delightful horror", in the words of Edmond Burke, which is the cause and engine of the sublime. Barbara Nahmad chose to paint the seas and the skies not with one quick and hasty painting typical of the informal, which is often a way of escape (after all simple for talented artists) from figuration, not even she has opted for the abstraction which, paradoxically, is in her being of aniconic program is however lyrical pursuing the feelings provoked, as in the case of music, through an emotional and non-rational way: her paintings, on the other hand, remain the result of that painting-painting, almost "acribiosa", of a figurative artist who stops portraying and starts a reflect on that "tangle" that is life and its unfolding.
