Arnaldo Frassineti was born on 8th April 1944, in Marradi (FI). He first attended the Academy of drawing and inlay in Faenza and then improved his workmanship in Florence for fifteen years. The artist now lives and works mainly in Montepulciano, a town traditionally related to the craft on wood inlay. Arnaldo Frassineti partecipates in many national and international contests attaining numerous prizes and recognitions. His works can be found in private private collections in Italy and abroad, and in Milan they have been put in the catalogue “il Quadrato”.

Disegno base
|
He started his activity in 1960 after attending the School of inlay and drawing of Faenza. Arnaldo Frassineti’s inlay painting recalls characters and images from an idyllic world where the tales are represented by the accurate association of valuable woods used in his works and an absolutely natural chromatism. The artist succeeds in expressing his sensitivity building a complicated structural framework and then disposing the masses in perfect dynamics with the characters. |

Disegno su legno
|
Even though made of minute splinters of wood the characters keep their plasticity. Through this fine and detailed work the wooden profiles have nothing in common with sculpture but rather, as I have just said, they are so similar to painting that observers may be deceived by the effect. Frassineti obtains the smoothness of the brushstrokes and the mellowness of colour with wood and must know some small secret to succeed in the correct distribution of the backgrounds, the chromatic scanning, the coherence and legibility of the tales. |

Intarsio
|
The artist compresses, using rigid constructive mechanics, the emotions contained in his work, to let them free when the spectator stops in front of his creations to decipher each single peculiarity. The work of Arnaldo Frassineti cannot be easily placed in an historical context, we will say that the history is made of his creatures enlivened each time we urge them to a thematic transformation.

Dettaglio

When we observe Arnaldo Frassineti’s pictures, we recognize in them marks of an old flame that burns under the ashes of time.This artist moulds pictures as mosaics on wood; he secures tesseras with a particular technique implying a deep knowledge of the wooden matter peculiarities. His pictures , that recall the charm of inlaid choirs in old Benedectine abbeys, can talk to us with their archaic beauty. Prof. Paolo Mei “La Nazione |

Pressature su legno

Arnaldo Frassineti gives us an artistic expression, fulfilled and free from rethorical outlines, personal and delicate, successful in execution and in the choice of materials, balanced in the relations between matter and subject, tending to exalt colour. The Artist composes his tales searching for coherence between constructive logic and chromatic exigence, without repeating himself, creating works full of suggestion. Prof.Walter Cadecasa Critico d’arte associazione culturale “Il Quadrato” |

Cornici
|
His works go beyond all conceptions of a sculptural art of wood and inlay, because they want to express emotions of a time gone away that may never return. Prof.Pier Arturo Sangiorgi Critico d’Arte “Il Cavalletto”
