{"product_id":"gianfranco-motton-alberi","title":"Gianfranco Motton - Trees","description":"\u003cp\u003eLandscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eFor artist Gianfranco Motton, depicting landscapes or subjects from life means achieving, through painting, a delicate fusion between naturalistic rendering and poetry. Indeed, his works, in which he employs a purely figurative language, remain rooted in sensory data. Yet reality seems to be transfigured into a lyrical interpretation that almost transports it into a dreamlike dimension. Formally, all this translates into a very delicate pictorial style where the representation of reality occurs in a rarefied manner. This means that the recording of realistic details and particulars is lost in favor of a language that tends to be more expressionistic and symbolic. Gianfranco Motton's refined pictorial touch, which synthesizes objects with great delicacy, plays a key role in this process. Thus, the color palette is also distinguished by a very subtle anti-naturalistic tendency, whereby the immersion in predominant hues, spread across large chromatic fields, identifies the artist's poetic sensibility and his almost dreamlike interpretation of reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGianfranco Motton was born in Adria (Rovigo) in 1934. His strong interest in painting led him to Milan, where he settled in 1956. He attended the Brera Academy, under the guidance of Cantatore and Salvadori. In 1956, he was invited to the Triveneta d'Arte in Padua and to the Bevilacqua La Masa, the Venice Biennale for young artists. Since then, he has held over 60 solo exhibitions. In 1958, he was invited to Ivrea, where he held a solo exhibition at the Olivetti Cultural Center, and where Comm. Adriano Olivetti commissioned several works from him. He has taught decoration and drawing at the Art High School in Busto Arsizio. He has worked as a set designer for RAI. He has participated in major national and international art exhibitions. He has received significant recognition: his works are included in public and private collections. He lives and works in Milan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Incicco Georgia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218546078082,"sku":"GINC003","price":800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG_4076-scaled.jpg?v=1768474136","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/gianfranco-motton-alberi","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
