{"product_id":"sage-vernis-farfalla","title":"Sage Vernis - Butterfly","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnimal depictions in art have ancient origins, appearing even in primitive cave paintings. For religious reasons, various types of animals appear in the works of various ancient civilizations. It was especially in the Middle Ages, within the International Gothic style, that animal depictions became widespread as true life portraits, both within works of art and in notebooks of drawings and sketches. The presence of animals as subjects in art remained constant until the contemporary era. In the pictorial production of artist Sage Vernis, animal subjects are very prominent, especially horses, birds, and butterflies. The artist's research focuses primarily on a dynamic and expressionistic rendering of their forms, through an elaborate synthesis of their figuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe artistic language of painter Sage Vernis begins with sensory data, then subjects it to an expressionistic synthesis aimed at enhancing its dynamic vitality. Thus, in this butterfly, we can see how the painter emphasizes not so much its volumes as the sinuous lines of its contours. Likewise, the depiction is not based on a naturalistic or mimetic conception; rather, the butterfly's shape creates a chromatic field within which Sage Vernis's complex pictorial expression can unfold. His technique, in fact, is dynamic, aimed at identifying the vital energy contained within the subject depicted in an expressionistic brushstroke, at times textured and gestural. This same expressive force also engages the space surrounding the subject, whose elaboration has an almost informal connotation. From a chromatic perspective, as is typical in Sage Vernis's work, reds and blacks predominate, juxtaposed with other brown tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eSage Vernis is the pen name of Gino Falzon, a painter born in 1916. His pictorial production is essentially expressionist and aims to highlight the vital and dynamic energy of his subjects. His favorite subjects are animals, whose forms embody the dynamic forces that the artist expresses through his complex gestural and textural painting technique.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pirini Marcello","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215771775362,"sku":"MPIR001","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG-20200723-WA0015.jpg?v=1768428988","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/sage-vernis-farfalla","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
