Orazio De Gennaro
Untitled II - Highly Textural Abstract Painting with Blue and Red Colors

2022

About the Item

Orazio De Gennaro's Untitled II is a 40 x 40-inch abstract painting on panel. The main colors are different shades of blue, red and gray. De Gennaro’s paintings are always created on a very thick impasto. He mix and builds the colors himself, using various mediums, including glass powder, pigment, and mica. The textural impasto makes the light glide and bounces on the thick brush strokes. The composition builds up on a crescendo of chiaroscuro, with accents of light blue strokes moving around the surface, transmitting a sensation of light. Italian born - from the southern region of Campania, home to the ancient Roman sites of Pompei and Ercolano - the artist says about his work: " 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 themselves - 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 which includes handmade lime paint, pigments, graphite, handmade oil pastel, sand, dirt, and straw. The creation of 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 for what remains. This physical engagement establishes an intimate relationship with these active substances, leading to a sense of immediacy, depth, and freshness.
