Orazio De Gennaro
Sannio - Blue, Yellow and Red Landscape Oil Painting on Canvas

2013

About the Item

Sannio is an 82 x 69-inch abstract landscape oil painting on canvas. The colors have the delicacy of pastels. The composition has an ephemeral feeling to it. It creates a distinctive mood of mystery, nostalgia, and romantic poetry. It has the beauty and intensity of emotions, of distant landscapes seen through a misty morning, enhanced by subdued red and yellow colors set against a mysterious cerulean blue. Even though there is no recognizable image, the viewer feels that a landscape is hiding behind the mist. Italian born - from the southern region of Campania, home to the ancient Roman sites of Pompei and Ercolano - the artist says, "My work references the land of my ancestors. Over the years, the elements of that land - the light, texture, shadows, color, and the actual materials - earth pigments, lime, marble dust - have formed the essence of an "inner landscape" and have become a reference point for my work. I was trained as a sculptor, and the "feel" of the material is central to my work. The use of and commitment to unconventional handmade tactile materials is essential for me. I use an earth palette with handmade lime paint, pigments, graphite, handmade oil pastel, sand, dirt, and straw. Creating these materials in the studio is an essential component of my process. I build up the surface, adding layers, sometimes scrape away, and often take a torch to what remains. This physical engagement establishes an intimate relationship with these active substances, leading to a sense of immediacy, depth, and freshness."

  • Building Babylon - Abstract Painting with Brown, Yellow and Blue Colors
    By Parris Jaru
    Located in New York, NY
    Parris Jaru's Building Babylon is a 48 x 36 inches oil painting. The main colors are blue, yellow and brown. The surface is defined by a thick impasto of paint, made with plant-based pigments that Jaru collects himself during his long exploratory trips through India. This painting is part of a new series that concentrates on using natural colors only, extracted from plants. Natural Indigo, Turmeric, Hibiscus, Beet Root, Rosemary Leaf, Aloe Extract, and Holi Powders to name a few, mixed with Babul Tree Resin. Though the overall composition is abstract, there is a perception of figuration. New York–born artist Parris Jaru comes from a Jamaican, Blackfoot Nation, and Arawak Nation background.
