In
the Tarpani’s
pictural production: the landscape, the town planing, the rural context
of Umbria suggest a kind of geometry of the soul which you perceive through the
feeling of sensibility with misterious charm that reaches you in one’s hearts.
It
is true that in the past the futurist mentions and the bringing up to date of
Gerardo Dottori have had a certain weight in the formulation of judgements free
from compromises and conditioning toward Tarpani. But today, more than ever and
with real autonomy of expression, it is possible to follow the artist’s career
and appreciate his experience going further to reach the meeting between the
starting point and the actual original way to paint as a kind of interior
original neoclassicality and for a lot revolutionary.
That is what remains from the former futurism performed now in a very
personal and very peculiar way.
Tarpani’s
neoclassicality is not to be understood in the academic sense and either as an
improbable former revolution of his youthful
expression
of last century with impetuousness and cheek.
It
is an internal, precise inside, harmonuously developed that can be
recognized
on the canvas, with the hope of who grasp in nature the genetic code of
expression of the mind in geometrical lights and buildings touching the sky, as
a map of life, complex, charming, unforseen but always aware of an unifying
destiny daily through the historical experience of eachone.
In any case, hard eludeable
if
the discordances
of the reality find freshness and comfort in the dream. Not in a sense of
alienating but as a journey companion to light the lack of understanding of each
of us for pure gist.
Then
Tarpani is the courageous and persuasive translater of such a human condition
expressed by his kind of geometrism.
