Heinrich Maryan Frama
Untitled, Nude Surreal Figures Together Slovenian French Oil Painting

About the Item

Genre: Surrealism Subject: Abstract Medium: Oil Surface: Canvas Country: France In this surreal composition by Heinrich M. Frama the artist clumps a group of figures towards the middle of the composition, the way the figures merge with one another creating an undefined triangular mass of monochromatic figures. Here, the artist uses impossible combinations of objects, abstract and fantastic shapes and vaguely defined figures and complementary colors allowing for greater contrast in specific areas of the composition. Born ca.1949 in Slovenia, (then Austria later Yugoslavia) autodidact; Communist Political prisoner; Escapes to Italy; 1980, is established in France; 1991, enters Guinness for a sale at 150 million francs, record for a living artist. He geometrizes in the strictest way the figuration by declining all the blues of his palette, with their gradations. Perspectives lurk around minimalism, Towards the discovery of America, (1991), inanimate, fleeing from rails and panels, reddens crypting faces "of natives" mixed with those of immigrants. His Workshop, (2007), also inanimate, is a pretext for two large flat, one white, the other blue, with an escape to the outside. Another Atelier, history of the artist, Is filled with emblematic objects, palette, brush, finished paintings including a model in blue, separations in the room by equidistant bars and pendant from the ceiling, a key that the artist seeks to catch. Besides, in small format, a cluster of ocher figures, a kind of terra-cotta sculpture with lighted eyes, stands out against a blue background (2007). It is also portrait of de Gaulle seen in profile, (1990). Exhibitions: 1980, salon des Independants, Paris; 1985, international trade fair, Geneva; 1990, Museum of the Mrine, Paris, (P); 2008, Caplain-Matignon, Paris, (P). Public places; Three tons of paint for the French colors all around the column of the Bastille in Paris, (1989).

Large Modernist Italian Oil Painting Surrealist Abstract Figures
By Marco Cingolani
Located in Surfside, FL
Marco Cingolani was born in Como in 1961 and moved to Milan at a very young age, in 1978. He began to frequent the underground creative environment, where art was mixed with fashion and punk music. In those years a new artistic sensibility was being formalized in Milan, whose roots no longer sank in the history of art and in the citation but practiced the critical manipulation of reality and its communication through the mass media. The image was taken out of context, subtracted from the use of common sense, radically distorted, almost mocked. The work of Marco Cingolani, from the beginning, has always tried to cancel the regulatory power of media images, subjecting them to the radical care of the artist, certain that art offers a decisive point of view for the interpretation of the world. In this context the interviews of the Interviews were born, where celebrities for their privacy were submerged by the microphones and the famous series dedicated to the attack on the Pope and to the tragic story of Aldo Moro. After having participated in numerous group exhibitions including An emerging scene (1991, Museo Pecci, Prato) and Two or three things that I know of them (1998, PAC, Milan), he is dedicated to major anthological exhibitions at prestigious public institutions such as Palazzo Strozzi in Florence and Promoter of Fine Arts in Turin. In November 2006 he took part in the collective exhibition "Senza famiglia", in the Palace of the Promoter of Fine Arts in Turin. In 2007 Cingolani received a further consecration: the Galleria Emilio Mazzoli hosts the exhibition entitled "What color are they?" in which the pictorial reflections on the color of Power and its disguises are presented. The art of Cingolani has always been fascinated by the passage from news to history and vice versa; also in this case the UN blue helmets, the red urn containing the electoral ballots, the multicolored segments of the Wall Street charts, the military uniforms and the party flags are contextualized in highly symbolic scenarios. In 2009 a return to the origins for Marco Cingolani, often the author of works expressly inspired by the religious theme. In particular, for this exhibition entitled " Percorsi della Fede", the artist focused his attention on the Marian apparitions that have marked the last two centuries: Lourdes and Fatima . In the same year an exhibition in Lucca at the National Museum of Villa Guinigi, joins him to some of the leading Italian artists of the last two generations; by the universally recognized and celebrated masters, present in the main international museums such as Mimmo Paladino, Sandro Chia, Salvo, passing through some of the protagonists of the 52nd Venice Biennale as Gian Marco Montesano, Daniele Galliano, Nicola Bolla, Bertozzi & Casoni who exhibited in 2009 in contemporary at the Lucca exhibition and at the Italian Pavilion of the Venetian event, to get to the young artists of the last generation already present in important national and international artistic events. Giacinto di Pietrantonio invites him the following year, 2010 to PAC, Pavilion of contemporary art in Milan, for the collective exhibition "Hybrid", alongside Jan Fabre, Gilbert & George, Charles Avery, Damien Hirst, Piotr Uklanski, Patrick Tuttofuoco and other great ones on the international scene. 2012 is the year of "Il Belpaese dell'arte", at Gamec di Bergamo, always curated by Pietrantonio and Maria Cristina Rodeschini, in the company of Elmgreen...
