What critics have said
about him..... continuation
... What is striking in
these surfaces that require particular exposure and lighting in order
to reveal themselves in all their complexity of sign - color - light,
is a sort of ambiguity. Ambiguity that only arises from the way in
which the painter solves the relationship between planning and
geometry on the one hand, freedom on the other ....
Roberto Bernardi (Gallery)
... In these recent oils
on canvas, now natural supports for an even obsolete, liquid,
extensive exaltation of color, some material body emerges that stops
and insinuates itself into large backgrounds; narrow or enlarged by
rigid elements almost evidence of a past geometry, no longer
credible, not for a construction accepted as an assumption, but as
denied by the same pictorial making ...
Mario Biasion (Journalist)
... It is no coincidence
that his colors are scattered in squares and parallel lines, it is no
coincidence that the dark alternates with the light, chasing each
other relentlessly between memory and fantasy, between reason and
feeling as the artist must do with all those who want to feed
themselves culturally ...

Vannini describes with
stylization, effectively colors wide backgrounds with aggressive
painting and draws with an air ...
Prof. Ugo Fortini
.... From these
cities, from these houses without windows or doors and from these
faceless figures a secret logic appears. It has regulated according
to calculated chromatic geometries, spaces and perspectives obedient
to all autonomous laws ...
Andrea Baldinotti (Journalist)
... Perspective spaces in
favor of an exaltation of the color element clotted up in a refined
play of inlays or lying in liquid bands assuming tones reminiscent of
the expressive violence of the "Fauves" ...
Dr. Baldinotti
A painting, that of
Paolo Vannini, not easily assimilable for those who ask the painting
to absolve a relaxing function and not to favor a more passionate
comparison suffered with one's own internal world.
Bob Kline (Art Critic)
"There are words that
stop on the mouth,
others remain prisoners of
the red house,
Each two eyes, an artist "
Rossi Maurizio (Poet)
I met Paolo a long time
ago and we immediately developed a relationship of mutual esteem,
friendship and confidence, agreeing on many aspects of our lives. I
have became familiar with the art, its expressiveness through the
colors and the particularity of the shapes later; after being struck
by their multiple shades. I think they represent Paolo's most
intimate self, the "Positivity" or the search for it in
every circumstance so that the "light" is always present
even when the hues are dark. I am not an expert, not a critic, I
don't exalt his works, I only limit myself to describe the emotions I
felt having, fortunately, been able to admire many of his works
directly in the intimacy of his studio together with Donatella and
Silvia.
