Bernardino Toppi
Children And Balloons

1990

About the Item

Children And Balloons Artist signed lower right. Bernardino Toppi was born in 1936 in Rome is a French painter of Italian origin. Sharing his time between Rome and Paris, he elaborates his works in the secrecy of his workshops like the alchemist in his laboratory. His technique is that of fresco painting which he has dressed up on canvas in order to make them transportable works. Bernadino Toppi's universe is made up of memories of childhood and travel, observation of daily life ... sublimated by a poetic transcription. In his works, true emotion presides over and eliminates only descriptive and anecdotal sides. Bernardino Toppi knows how to stop his work when the subject of the painting reaches the point of disappearance, magic moment par excellence. Thus Toppi knows how to suggest his intentions by a few strokes, by a few volumes, without trying to assert or convince, leaving those who look at the possibility - I would even say the chance - to continue the work started: the emotional sensation is, therefore, with great talent, constantly renewed, constantly provoked. The very soft, pasteurizing​ tones give his unparalleled paintings poetry and timelessness that seduce: it seems that Toppi tells the story of the world, of the East and the West, with characters and animals that seem to come from the Bible. There are Persian miniatures, elsewhere Venice is essential when they are not village scenes, processional or cavalier encounters. The musicians are present in its evocations but, even when they do not music is omnipresent, it seems to go back from the depths of the ages, to be part of this history of humanity that Toppi intends to revive before our conquered eyes.

  • Conversation Large Heavy Texture Oil On Canvas
    By Elisabeth Sabala
    Located in Lake Worth Beach, FL
    Conversation Thick oil impasto on canvas, framed. Elisabeth Sabala Abelló (Barcelona, 1956). She studied industrial design at the School of Arts and Crafts in Barcelona and has a degree in Fine Arts, a specialty in painting, from the Central University of the same city. Sabala is a convinced figurative who has given all the prominence of her work to the representation of the human being in its most trivial aspects. At a time when the artistic landscape extols abstract and conceptual art focused on the great universal themes, Sabala continues to focus on the small defects that bring us closer to the collective and the human. The artistic progression of Sabala takes place, at first, from a bleak period to another vitalist and, later, from the representation of isolated characters (In the super, Reading the stories of the paintings) to the recreation of great concentrations of its peculiar individuals characterized in an endless number of situations (The Great Dance, The Girls of the Choir). Sabala's work is vital and touching, as well as scathing and satirical: it confronts its characters in the most varied situations, capturing, at the same time, the viewer's attention with an unusual juxtaposition of colors that do not seek chromatic harmony, but expression and movement through matter. In 1980 she won the first prize of a painting of the City of Castelldefels, and the following year she debuted individually in the Caixa Catalunya room, in Barcelona. In 1984, she was selected for the XXIII Joan Miró Drawing Prize, taking part in a traveling exhibition in Japan. Sabala won the first prize in the International Painting Competition of Pollença (Mallorca) in 1985, and the following year she took part in a collective held at the Martano Gallery in Turin. That same year of 1986 she obtained the Scholarship of Plastic Arts of the Generalitat de Catalunya. She continues to hold personal shows in Barcelona, ​​Mallorca, Madrid, and Italy, and in 1989 she debuted in New York with an individual exhibition held at the Scott Alan Gallery. Since then she will reiterate her presence both in that city and in Paris, Berlin, Monaco, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Hong Kong, etc. Her works have been present at Interactive, ARCO, Art Forum, Art Jonction and New Art, as well as in various Spanish museums. • Studies: Fine Arts, University of Barcelona • Industrial Design, School of Arts and Crafts, Barcelona Main exhibitions Spain: • Barcelona: ◦ Arcs & Cracks​, 1990, 1992, Anna Benach 1993, Helena Ramos 1993 ◦ Maria Jose Castellvi 1996, 1997, 1999, 2001 “a wedding is a wedding” + Performance “Ella” ◦ 2004, 2006 “Fashion satisfaction” + Performance ◦ 2008 “Women's weapons” • Girona: ◦ Helena Ramos 1990, 1991, 1993, 1995 ◦ Cyprus Art...

    The hero at this painting is a human. His eyes are a lenses that artist using. At all time they are together, a man and a woman. Duality of differences, two views, different accents, but in one wholeness. Fomin is a fairy-tale artist, a romance teller, who is choosing never ending life stories for a viewer. He is telling these stories with realistic language of the artist, citing the language of Bruegel sentimental sincerity of Chagall, but also a precise coloristic scheme, that was a signature of French Art in the second half of XX century. The fantastic World of the artist is perfectly detailed that makes it truthful. This artistic language principle defined the style of the artist long before he entered the Art World market...
