Inaugurazione a Firenze la personale del pittore-biscazziere Giovanni Bruzzi
Nuovo appuntamento fra il pittore fiorentino Giovanni Bruzzi e il suo pubblico di estimatori. Il 20 giugno è stata inaugurata alla Galleria Benvenuti in via Maggio a Firenze la personale dell’artista, sul tema “Pittura, cinema, poker”. Tre elementi che di per sé bastano a condensare l’essenza di Bruzzi: la pittura come vocazione, il gioco d’azzardo come mezzo per poter dipingere e alcune consulenze cinematografiche (per “Regalo di Natale” e “La rivincita di Natale” di Pupi Avati) come “valore aggiunto” alla propria vita densa di esperienze. Una “vita spericolata” e molto interessante, tanto che – fra circa un anno – dovrebbe uscire un film che la ritrarrà. Bruzzi, conosciuto nell’ambiente delle bische clandestine come “il Professore”, è stato per anni un biscazziere di gran livello, ne ha viste di tutti i colori e il 2 giugno 2006 è stato nominato Cavaliere Ufficiale della repubblica Italiana per meriti artistici. I quadri rimarranno esposti fino al 5 luglio e – pur variando molto nel soggetto, da conchiglie a maschere, da motivi floreali al tavolo da poker – sono fra quelli che meglio esprimono, in maniera piena e incisiva, lo stile più caratteristico e immediatamente riconoscibile del pittore biscazziere.
