Sergio Favotto - Blue Christ

Since the early Christian era, the face of Christ has been the object of special veneration. Its depiction has pervaded the entire history of Western art. From the first iconic representations of the early Christian and early Middle Ages, we gradually arrived at increasingly naturalistic (starting with the Renaissance) or realistic (typical of Flemish art) depictions.

In his interpretation of sacred art subjects, artist Sergio Favotto emphasizes the dramatic nature of the work, clearly accentuating the departure from naturalistic representation. The sense of the sacred and the divine is conveyed through an expressionist synthesis, through which natural truth gives way to a process of abstraction with a precise conceptual value. Thus, the scenes are constructed through broad brushstrokes, dense with pictorial substance. Finally, even the color transcends the confines of realism, adopting more spiritual than naturalistic tones.

He carries out his activity in Musano (TV), where he was born in 1945. He began exhibiting in Treviso in 1965, arriving at the important exhibitions in Turin and London in 1969 and currently has over 300 collective and solo exhibitions in galleries, historic villas and museums in Italy and abroad: Treviso, Turin, Venice, Brescia, London, Milan, Paris (in the historic Galerie Bernheim-Jeune, at the Grand Palais and at the Salon des Nations), at the Fiera del Levante in Bari and Udine, in Rome, Taranto, Trieste, Udine, Lignano, Reggio Emilia and in Caracas, Merida, Ciudad Guyana, in New York (at the Planet Studio, the Stendhal Gallery and at NY University), in Toronto, Düsseldorf, Imperia, San Remo, La Spezia, Victoria and La Valletta (Malta), as well as many other prestigious locations.
