About the Item

A rare abstract work by the indelible Giancarlo Impiglia. Born in Rome, Impiglia moved to New York in the 70s, where he established a signature style on the shoulders of Futurism and Cubism, his technical skill underpinning his eclecticism and allowing him to indulge in an appetite for complexity. Whereas at a glance his vibrant paintings with their dynamic compositions may seem simply aesthetically pleasing, their deliberate beauty is a critique on society’s preoccupation with materialism and superficiality, as beneath this façade lies the true meaning of his work: each figure is depicted as indifferent, faceless satires defined entirely by the folds of their gowns and the glitter of their jewelry. As they blend together into one another and into the background, forming a single tapestry of colors and forms, their individual identities and true selves—complete with ambitions, desires, and obsessions—remain concealed. The figures therefore become an extension of Impiglia’s critique as a representation of society, and the very act of creating beautiful works and their content are united by a singular, powerful vision.

By James O'Shea
Located in Hudson, NY
Abstract mixed media painting on board made with copper leaf and accents of blue, green, and sienna oil paint "Abstract 1", Painted by Hudson Valley based artist, James O'Shea in 2021 Oil, copper leaf, and pencil on board 10 x 10 inches unframed, 12 x 12 x 2 inches in an off-white painted wood floater frame Wire backing, ready to hang Excellent condition James O’Shea’s deeply pigmented abstractions are grounded in the landscape.
