{"product_id":"giorgio-orefice-nudo-al-centro","title":"Giorgio Orefice - Nude in the Center","description":"\u003cp\u003eSurrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s and encompassed all fields of artistic research. Specifically, in the visual arts, Surrealism sought to explore the human subconscious and translate it into artwork through a mechanical writing process based on dream analysis. Consequently, Surrealist artworks propose the representation of a dreamlike dimension, completely dissociated from reality. However, this representation often relies on a hyperrealistic formal rendering, precisely to paradoxically accentuate the illusory and ambiguous nature of the surreal dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eAs we can see from this work with its highly elaborate iconography, the artist Giorgio Orefice seeks to evoke a true vision, one that is both sacred and symbolic. For this reason, drawing on the Surrealist tradition, his formal language is strongly figurative, evoking concrete images, even if they belong to another dimension, far removed from the perceptible world. However, to heighten the fantastical tones, this figurative concreteness is subjected to expressive distortions by the artist. The visionary element is also accentuated by the highly elaborate application of the paint, a pictorial style that does not diminish the concreteness of the images, yet still renders them vivid and highly dynamic. Chromatically, the work is immersed in a blue tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGiorgio Orefice (Syracuse, November 11, 1941) is an Italian painter. Throughout his artistic career, he has experimented with abstract art, hyperrealism, pop art, fractalism, computer graphics, and sculpture. He has lived in Syracuse, Florence, Verona, Rome, Milan, and Jesi. Since 2004, he has lived in Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands. He had his first solo exhibition in 1957 in Foggia. He attended the Scuola di Nudo in Bologna, and in 1996 he graduated from the Liceo Artistico in Catanzaro and in ceramics from the Vibo Valentia art school. He traveled frequently to New York, London, and Paris. During these years, he experimented with abstract art, hyperrealism, and pop art. He created works in expanded polystyrene, galvanized sheet metal, plastic, and moving light objects. In 1971, he moved to Rome, where he held his first public exhibitions. He frequented Cinecittà, worked with Pier Paolo Pasolini, and was interested in set design. Since the 1990s, he has been interested in computer graphics, fractals, and image fractalization. He wrote the Manifesto of Fractalism in Art and is considered a leading figure in this avant-garde movement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faur Viorica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218637402498,"sku":"VFAU002","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/giorgio-orefice-nudo--scaled.jpg?v=1768475108","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/giorgio-orefice-nudo-al-centro","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
