Gastone Peirano - Motherhood

The iconography of motherhood is closely linked to the subject of the Madonna and Child. It is probably one of the most popular iconographies in the history of both Western and Eastern art. The Madonna and Child appears since the dawn of medieval painting and remained a constant subject as long as religious themes dominated artistic production (that is, until the 19th century, when themes inspired by everyday life began to be introduced). It is quite common for contemporary artists to address the iconography of motherhood without directly linking it to the Christian religion. In the paintings of Gastone Peirano, the subject of motherhood is quite recurrent, in compositions featuring beautiful female figures.

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 Italian diplomatic authority responsible for the event.
