Adriano Gajoni
The art critic Angelo Panerai writes:  «Rigorous balance, wise distribution of lights and volumes, impression of solidity and architecture. All so thought out, so necessarily functional that the eye passes over this intelligent painting without ever noticing the slightest imbalance. The tones themselves obey this harmonious criterion that does not admit of coloristic affectation: a few whites and abundant warm colors unmistakably mark this nourished painting, but where one never feels the labor of creation ». Still lifes reflect the humble things of our home and our canteen, emanating that almost religious sense of secular use that dresses them with unexpected nobility [...] oriented towards a constant search for color and formal perfection. Tradition felt not as an empty resonance, but an elaboration of a loving study by the great Lombard seventeenth century artists by a cultured and severe spirit. Adriano Gajoni, is  «Milanese painter of strict figurative observance, mainly devoted to Still life, to" fairy tale compositions "and allegorical and to" fantasies with mannequins and statues "» (Bruno Rosa Stincone). L'arte di Adriano Gajoni ha «un fondo di umano lirismo, di poesia» (Silvio Biscaro). While the compositional choices reveal an evident debt towards the Dutch painting and Flemish of the XVIII century (Günter Meißner). Gajoni è interprete di un realismo minuzioso di lontana ispirazione fiamminga (Paolo Bolpagni).
