{"product_id":"gianmarco-montesano-senza-titolo","title":"Gian Marco Montesano - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003ePortraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to convey their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation. Gian Marco Montesano's favorite portrait subjects are movie stars, as in this case, or historical figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGian Marco Montesano's style is based primarily on a solid drawing structure. Through a highly defined line, the painter first creates the framework of the work, in which the volumes and plastic qualities of the subject are enhanced through a clear linear system. Thus, the facial features of the subjects take on prominence, reproduced with extreme, photographic fidelity. We can thus define Gian Marco Montesano's style as hyperrealist, due to this rendering of the subjects so perfect that it surpasses reality itself, and certainly also influenced by the pop influence of the cinematic theme. The marked plasticity in Gian Marco Montesano's works is further enhanced by light and confirmed by the very compact application of color, which avoids overly painterly effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGian Marco Montesano was born in Turin in 1949. In the early 1970s, Montesano's first works were reproductions of Madonnas, mementos of his studies as a seminarian. Several paintings are dedicated to Turin and to the memory of his father, who worked as an \"eccentric\" in the world of vaudeville. From the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, Gian Marco Montesano was included in the so-called Medialism movement, a revival of painting inspired by neo-pop and comics. In 2002, Montesano participated in a group exhibition at the Boxart art gallery in Verona with works related to the theme of the Deadly Sins, achieving considerable success. Between 2006 and 2007, the Department of Culture of the Municipality of Pietrasanta promoted the exhibition Berlin 1936, curated by Valerio Dehò, in the rooms of the Cloister of Sant'Agostino in Pietrasanta (Lucca).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Statelli Salvatore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218187334018,"sku":"SSTA001","price":2300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG-20220402-WA0001.jpg?v=1768471735","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/gianmarco-montesano-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
