Critique

Two are the tendencies that find him in the painting of Nevio Leoni. In a first moment its search of the life and the beautiful breath of country is noticed, lived in figures of cafe or in sleeping figures. But also a country of boredom, walls in mortar, empty for the roads, absence of windows, roofs that cover, with happy colors, secret life, hidden adventures and so much banality of every day. A mention to the bluffs on which you/they lean out such countries, painted bluffs in movement as they are seen by the ship bare walls opened on abysses that fall falling with thousand folds. The second tendency brings the movement of the figures movement that is born from the study of the positions of the body in the gymnastic rhythm. You notices a great flexibility of the women and the men, that he/she remembers the ability of oriental contemplation through the body in a mixture among mysticism and eroticism. Without love the women, for lack of passion, that incuriosisce and it attracts, or you/he/she should perhaps be spoken of an after the love, an après I'amour, an introverted po, that leaves space to the imagination. it tries you to also give to the old ones this life where he/she broods the fire to revive their ash. There is also a sense of new and ancient friendship among the males, friendship that in the faces it finds again him different because the characters are different; this way the faces and the dry and lost bodies inside soft elegant, but torn suits thrown by the painter on young people and old men. The dimension man reveals him in the pictures through the cuts from models and the anatomical notions of the painter, bones and muscles to their place to different apiece. The same almost photographic cuts for the foreshortenings of country. The figures however they predominate: he/she anchors the women where the flexible body doesn't give to the natural curves anything else other than the elegance of the education to live and to place. Men to women you get tired that they sleep or they perhaps think dreaming as it was impossible to become vulgar or earthlings, so much the painting is abstracted in the slim characters of Nevio Leoni.
