Gastone Peirano - Under the Cross

The work in question uses a figurative artistic language. One of the most important concepts in the history of artistic production has been that of "mimesis," or the human need to imitate and reproduce nature, that which surrounds us. Nature refers to everything that can be grasped through the five senses—in short, phenomenal reality. Figurative art trends can be considered those that, in the representation of the world, adhere most closely to this objective and sensorial dimension, leaving little room for abstraction and subjective interpretation.

Gastone Peirano's pictorial language rests on solid foundations recognizable in each of his works. First and foremost, an objective conception of painting leads the artist to depict on canvas phenomenal reality as it is perceived by his senses, without subjective filters. Supporting this approach is an excellent painting technique that allows Peirano to achieve a perfectly naturalistic rendering. Physiognomic and anatomical perfection is pursued in every detail through a light application of color that respects the softness of the skin and the quality of the fabrics. As further support, the artist adds a balanced dose of incident light, which, striking the subjects, creates a natural play of shadows.

Gastone Peirano was born in Mapello in 1926 into a family of painters. He trained at the Cimabue Academy in Milan and initially worked as a graphic designer. In the late 1960s, he decided to dedicate himself exclusively to his profession as a painter, and after moving to Rome, he began a fruitful collaboration with the Tartaglia Gallery. He has received numerous critical and public acclaim in Italy and abroad. In 2005, during the six-month Universal Exposition in Aichi, Japan, his works were exhibited, earning particular praise from the highest Italian diplomatic authority responsible for the event.
