Artist: Giampaolo Talani. Medium: Original Serigraph. Title: NOTTE DI SAN LORENZO. Size: 40x40cm. Hand Signed and Numbered. Luca Alinari (born 1943) is an Italian painter.Self-taught, he made his debut in 1968 with his first one-man show at the Galleria Inquadrature in Florence. During the 1970s he began an intense research on the free juxtaposition of objects and figures within a fantastical and suspended atmosphere, influenced by Neo-Dada and Pop Art research. In these years he experimented with various pictorial techniques, in which he combined fluorescent colours, decalcomania, collage and photographic transpositions. Between 1972 and 1973 he exhibited in the main private galleries in Florence, presented by his friend the poet Alfonso Gatto. During the 1980s he gained official recognition through his participation in the Venice Biennale in 1982 and in the 11th Rome Quadriennale in 1985. He became established on the national art scene in 1993 with the retrospective mounted at the Palazzo Reale in Milan, where he showed an important group of works spanning his whole artistic career. This exhibition concluded with the fantastical landscapes of his maturity, characterised by bright, vivid colours and an extremely original pictorial technique combining thickly applied pigment with refined fields of smooth, transparent colour.: Giampaolo Talani was born in 1955 in Florence, Italy. After much artistic training, including schooling at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Talani in 1979 received his first major artistic award at the age of 24 in Mantova. Talani's style is very much rooted in the antique tradition of the master artist. As a talented draughtsman and painter, Talani utilizes his knowledge of the artistic mediums: drawing, oil painting and fresco to create his signature atmospheric style. Figurative subject matter combines with both brilliantly intense and contemplative color, thus evoking richly developed dreamlike spaces. The gaze found in Talani's subjects only adds to this dream induced experience. Pensive and at times unnervingly inquisitive one is uncertain if Talani's figures are looking at or beyond the viewer or both. The subtle intensity of this gaze adds to the overall magnetic pull of Talani's painting. The art attracts and entices the viewer to participate in these creatively imagined spaces. Talani's paintings are influenced by his life by the sea. Much like the ocean waves, he mesmerizes a very captive audience. Giampaolo Talani is well noted by the critics, and serious collectors of fine art throughout the world..Condition: Great Condition.
