When colour becomes emotion, light that coagulates
in thought, a work of art is born. This is the case of the
artist Brighenti who has been painting for some time using,
with strength and incisiveness, a wide theme carried out mostly
in oil.

Suggestivi ed affascinanti i suoi quadri che
narrano, attraverso il segno ed il colore, i tanti momenti
di partecipazione ematica che coinvolgono l'artista e il fruitore
delle sue opere.
Brighenti, valido interprete dell'Arte Contemporanea riesce,
attraverso un
ottimo equilibrio di forme e colore, ad ottenere risultati
altamente
significativi e rappresentativi di tutto il suo excursus artistico.(Lia
Ciatto)

It is an immediate creativity that guides
Brighenti's hand and doesn't accept changing of mind, touch
ups , long elaborations; too unrestrained not to ask for it
to be exhausted in a few hours, in the stretch which was elaborated
in his sensibility and experience, but not on canvas, or rather
on insulating material (boards made of synthetic wood) which
is the support material which he prefers.

His subjects aren't created casually, they have been photographed
in many photograms, in his wanderings through the surrounding
landscapes, in his approach to human events, people who struck
him and with whom he became friends, found an affinity, began
a dialogue.
Encounters that fermented in his experience, kept him company
throughout time until they became paintings, where the portrait,
in some parts as a caricature, saves the impression of a human
warmth, where the landscape and still life feel the effects
of the positive look placed upon them. Full and precise touches
of the brush approach colour to colour, as if they want to
make room for the whole palette, adding brightness to brightness.
The chosen range is the shiny one, of a joyous polychrome,
that only at times covers itself of shades to space out the
subject in a blurred, vaguely oneiric, atmosphere.
(Doc. Milena Moneta)

It would be reductive and uncritical
to locate Franco Brighenti's works in a pictorial current or
to allude to an academic style. This shows how pure the artist's
path is. His commitment needs to be investigated from the roots.
The traces of colour that develop landscapes and portraits are
immediate; sure, settled on impressing an emotional photogram
suddenly snatched away from reality. Shadows and lights harmonically
diverted by the visual impact underline the romantic nature
of the artist, as well as the attempt to burst into the thin
substrata of matter.
