“Il lavoro di Cannilla, quindi, si presenta come un ponte di unione tra arte, scienza e tecnologia industriale. Inoltre, converge e riaffiora come parte delle aspirazioni più profonde dell’arte contemporanea. Rappresenta coloro che, avendo profondamente sofferto a causa delle due guerre mondiali, si ritrovano a riscoprire le loro intenzioni originali.”
Giorgio Tempesti, 1966
The many Italian critics who have seriously addressed the visual output of Franco Cannilla all recognize his classicism and underlying figuration: transposed, however, from the realm of forms to those of ideas. Disclosing the figuration of ideas, Cannilla is a theorist of proportion and form, a Pythagorean.
For him, man is the measure of all things, man
and things exist only as measure, number, ratio. Presentazione in catalogo alla Galleria Vittoria – Roma
