Le Comte “The Count” - This artwork depicts the 19th century poet, Lucien Ducasse, also known as Comte de Lautremont. After being enthralled by the literary work “Le chants de Maldoror” in one night, the artist dreamt of the poets face and was compelled to bring it to life on canvas. The portrait has a classic setting as “Mezzo Busto”, or half bust, and exudes timeless sophistication through the bold use of color and dense oils, creating a three-dimensional effect and giving immense life to the character.

The present work of art titled "Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters)" is part of a series of paintings that the artist composed in the 1980s and 1990s inspired by the observation of the urban reality of those years. The artist take the cue from his walks in Florence, both in the center and in the suburbs, and by the observation of billboards and posters scattered throughout the city. The mass of information, colors, messages and words were carried on the canvas with acrylic colors, ideally reconstructing the tears and overlaps of all the information and advertising contained on these huge sheets of paper that invade our cities. The geometric lines are overlaid with jagged lines, overlaps and color dripping and also the choice in the color palette, with different shades of white, gray, rose, orange red and blue helps in rendering the result of the tears and ripped paper. The result is a beautiful multicolored modern abstract canvas, both aesthetically and ethically, with many rich layers of color, texture and expression in which the artist leaves his own message. The painting is housed in a simple modern white lacquer wood frame. Andrea Spinelli...
