Pesce stellato blu, alpino con penna e case
Due grandi alpine dai nasi a spirale e penna blu – Carlo Zinelli
This double-sided work by Carlo Zinelli unfolds a universe of great intensity, true to the spirit of the artist. On each side, two large stylized figures—one blue, the other red—face each other or seem to respond to one another, traversed by circular patterns and openings, like human archetypes or totemic figures. Around them, a constellation of objects, animals, houses, and signs is arranged within a space devoid of perspective, where narration is built through repetition and variations of scale.

WORKSHOP SECRET
This painting, far from being purely informative, becomes an artistic element in its own right, reinforcing the sonic and inner dimension of the work. The palette, dominated by deep blue, carmine red, and a few touches of yellow, structures a composition in which we find echoes of Zinelli’s rural memories, his recollections of the countryside, but also traces of his experience of war and the psychiatric asylum: animals and enigmatic shapes, houses, objects.
A singular detail draws attention: inside a circle, a cigarette burn, made by the artist himself, pierces the surface. This gesture, both spontaneous and full of meaning, introduces a tactile and almost ritualistic dimension to the work, like a signature or a mark of time running through the narrative.
CARLO ZINELLI (1916 – 1974)
Carlo Zinelli, born in 1916 in northern Italy, faced hardship early, losing his mother at two and working from childhood. He became a butcher’s apprentice in Verona while developing a passion for art and music. In 1939, his brief and traumatic service in the Spanish Civil War deeply affected him. Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, he was permanently hospitalized in 1947. There, Zinelli began to draw and paint obsessively, first on the walls. In 1957, he joined an art workshop under Michael Noble’s guidance, creating nearly 2,000 artworks. Zinelli died in 1974, leaving a profound legacy within the Art Brut movement.
