About the Item
A rare abstract work by the indelible Giancarlo Impiglia. Gold leaf, silver leaf, copper leaf, and oil on lead.
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.

- Original-Sunlit-Spring in Autumn Abstract-Expression-Gold Leaf-UK Awarded ArtistLocated in London, GBThe 'Sunlit' series is an exploration of the colour yellow and its healing effect to the ones who were impacted by grief. This is one of the artist, Shizico Yi's personal favourites for its subtle changing of the golden tones when viewing in different time of the day. The pictorial language in this series pays homage to Japanese Woodblock prints. In her latest series, titled 'Prayers,' Shizico employs various type of Dahlias as symbols of peace. Dahlias, which bloom in autumn, brighten up the garden amidst the early winter chill, symbolizing regeneration and hope for life. The name of the painting is a reference to a poem by Du Fu (712-770 AD), one of his poignant poems that portrays the landscape in a war zone in his hometown. After nature reclaims the places where people once lived. As an artist working in the studio, there's a sense of helplessness in the face of such changing time. Through these paintings in Prayer series, Shizico aims to convey her heartfelt prayers in times like these. It's also a form of self-reflection on the role of the artist in society. *Delivery Worldwide, only £18 lowest flat rate shipping charge, guarantee shipping by Royal Mail with End to End International Tracking.
