About the Item

Rosanna Gaddoni (Italian artist) The art of waiting 50 x 30 cm ( framed in wood frame with museum glass) Measurement with included frame: 57 x 37 x 3 cm Charcoal on Paper The Italian artist Rosanna Gaddoni, residing in the Netherlands, has been added to Galerie Bonnard's collection since May 2023. ( You can see her on the picture, talking about her drawings in our gallery). Her stunning charcoal drawings are atmospheric, emotionally layered portraits of people or animals. The way her compositions come to life tells a story that the artist narrates using nothing but charcoal on paper. Her work has received multiple international awards and has been published in numerous catalogues featuring leading artists from around the world. Rosanna Gaddoni (b. 1972) is an Italian, widely acclaimed realist artist. She lives and works in Brabant, not far from Galerie Bonnard in Nuenen. After a career in the corporate world, she began pursuing art education, starting at the Drawing School of the Rijksmuseum and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, followed by private studio training. She completed a two-year program in Leiden, becoming a certified Sumi-e instructor (a Japanese ink brush technique). Gaddoni’s art has been exhibited and awarded internationally. In 2022, she won the ‘Best Drawing’ award twice and the ‘Best Animal and Birds’ prize at the PleinAir Salon International Art Competition. She was a triple award winner across different categories in the Portrait Society of America's Members Only Competition in December 2022 (two finalist awards and one placement prize). Additionally, she exhibited at the prestigious Summer Exhibition 2022 at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. She received a finalist prize in the BoldBrush International Painting Competition and was a finalist with two works in two categories at the 16th Art Renewal Center Salon. Her artworks are part of private collections worldwide. In 2021 and 2022, she was invited by the Family Art Museum to participate in the “35×35 art project” and the ‘COV-Art’ project. Her works are part of the permanent collection of the CFA Museum in Greece. At Galerie Bonnard, we are proud to represent this exceptional artist exclusively. The artist on her inspiration: "I grew up on a small farm in northern Italy. My home was in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by fields, and I can still remember how their colors changed with the natural cycle of the seasons. In that little corner of the earth, there was nothing, and yet I had everything I needed to feel blissful, surrounded by life in every form. In my work, I still seek that presence of life in the dance of light and shadow, and the sanctity of that observation continues to amaze me. I aim to represent life in what I call poetic realism, striving to honestly portray the world and the human figure by combining a focus on drawing and values with my emotional involvement. I mostly work with charcoal and graphite on paper, as well as oil on canvas or panels. These mediums help me create works in which the representational style conveys the vibration and movement of life. A subtle thread connects all my artworks: they are dots linking the bigger picture of my dedication and respect for every form of life and for the immense privilege of observing the human life experience in this corner of the universe we share." We ship our art in custom made wooden crate like we show on the last picture.
