Fruit and bodies

Tadini was a born writer, publishing essays, novels and poems at a very young age. Already in the 1960s, he created his first paintings, a curious union of playful elements that come in part from English Pop Art, in part from the Italian Metaphysical School. His contribution to design and advertising is also noteworthy. As can be clearly seen in the picture that appears here, his essential inspiration is the world of dreams. Emerging from the white is a box of fruit of various kinds, as colorful as the table on which it stands is neutral. Around it, incongruously, pieces of hanging mannequins whirl around, following the rhythm of a propeller plane, perhaps a child's plaything, which ascends from the bottom to the top. Another graphic element are the red arrows, also pointing upwards, which seem to indicate an imaginary development, accentuating the dynamism of the composition. Remarkable is the harmony of the whole work, a subtle balance between irony and desire to represent the world in a flagrant way, choosing the same methods used in the images conveyed by the media.
