Interview with Lorenzo Ridolfi
Published May 27, 2009 in Interviews
Lorenzo Ridolfi is a Roman artist who paints, among other subjects, including homoerotic subjects that increasingly are circulating on the network. His features are very special and his original style is easily distinguishable. Here's how you tell the readers of Gayburg:
Can you tell us something about yourself?
I live in Rome 42 years I like to draw and paint, I made the institution of art but in the section for jewelry and have always been interested in the world of visual arts, architecture and furniture.
Your popularity is due primarily to erotic drawings, but your art does not stop them. What other subjects do you usually represent?
I represent the most diverse subjects from abstract shapes, architecture, nature, space, and especially the nude male.
How did you become interested in erotic art?
Some time ago I saw in a library a book of Tom of Finland and I discovered this art form over the internet. I am aware of many other artists who practiced both in the past and now. A factor is that many of these artists are gay and I do not think that an artist can do a good job with a subject that involves him emotionally.
Your drawings have a particular style: black lines and well marked, eyes without pupils, often historical settings … Can you tell us why you chose to use this style?
Not having done academic studies, I sometimes find it difficult to draw a human figure from life as it is, so I tried to find a synthesis of the figure and realized that as his hand, then with time this synthesis has become a way just as a graffiti on a wall and the fact that draw only the essential things to draw a certain taste timeless. Typically drawing nudes, the familiar historical settings, are part of a series of drawings that represent the "sex between men in history" I'm doing for the blog-gay.blogspot.com bisexual.
What is for you the difference between pornography and eroticism?
The child asks the viewer only the excitement of the erotic body of a certain cultural background.
I read your blog in a number of interventions: what is your relationship with the Internet and blogs?
I use the Internet to search, to find inspiration for my designs, I like commenting on blog posts that interest me and I made friends with some bloggers. I need to know the work of other artists both in art and homoerotic.
