Luciano Gasbarri - Untitled

Portraiture 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 capture 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.

This work is part of a series in which painter Luciano Gasbarri temporarily abandons his hyperrealist and deliberately illusory style, inspired by De Chirico's Metaphysical Art, to adopt a language based on delicate chromatic modulations. Landscapes, human figures, and still lifes are conceived as layered layers of light colors that blend together through transparent glazes. The formal rendering is synthetic, precisely to enhance the expressive power of color.

Luciano Gasbarri was born in 1940 in Chieti. He was a very popular artist on the Roman art scene in the 1980s and founded the Roman Neo-Impressionism and Unionism movements. He promoted the Pittori del Sole art group and was a student of Giorgio de Chirico. He exhibited his work in cities such as Paris and Miami and received over 200 awards throughout his career.
