San Carlo Borromeo
A dynamic figural composition rendered in Sandro Chia's signature Neo-Expressionist style, this work depicts San Carlo Borromeo with bold, gestural brushwork and a richly saturated palette. The oil on paper laid on linen medium lends the surface a distinctive texture, enhancing the raw, visceral energy characteristic of Chia's approach to figurative painting. The work bridges historical religious iconography with the emotive intensity of the Transavanguardia movement, of which Chia was a leading figure.
