Francomanno G.- Untitled

A popular iconography throughout the history of Western art, the Crucifixion has its origins in the early Christian era and has developed over the centuries, culminating in the most recent expressions of contemporary art. The traditional iconography of Jesus on the cross has countless variations, from the simplest, featuring only the crucified Christ, to the version accompanied by the "mourners," the Madonna and Saint John the Evangelist. In the Middle Ages, Crucifixion scenes began to become increasingly elaborate: thieves' crosses were added, and gradually more and more figures were added, until they became the subject of large choral scenes. It is often accompanied by symbolic elements, such as the presence of the sun and moon or Adam's skull beneath Christ's cross (which signifies the redemptive action of Christ's Passion in the face of original sin).

In many of his works, artist G. Francomanno demonstrates a marked interest in the exaltation of plastic values. A highly accentuated, distinctly illusory plasticity is often associated with surrealist aesthetics. This is the case in this work, where the episode of the crucifixion is translated into a powerfully dreamlike vision. Everything is shattered, subjects and space, in a dramatic, swirling apparition, with strong dynamic and expressive impulses.

G. Francomanno is a painter with a highly open and experimental spirit, exploring diverse stylistic solutions. His language is essentially figurative, and his excellent formal and color technique is a constant. His compositions are influenced by a variety of styles, from Expressionism to Surrealism.
