About the Item

On display now at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and available online, Bears + Tangerines offers a sensuous celebration of colour, nostalgia, and visual rhythm. Here, Bertolucci brings together two luminous subjects—the iconic gummy bear and the crescent-shaped orange slice sweet—in a delicately balanced grid. Each figure glows with a rich, amber light, their translucent forms infused with warmth and depth. The orange slices curve like moons, their flesh marbled with veins of fire and gold. The gummy bears, meanwhile, stand with quiet dignity, their rounded bellies catching highlights in ways that feel almost sculptural. The interplay of light and shadow is masterful—soft halos stretch behind each sweet, grounding them without diminishing their buoyant appeal. More than a nod to childhood treats, this painting functions as a study in abstraction and design. The repeated forms and colours create a harmonious rhythm, while subtle variations ensure the eye never rests in one place for long. Bertolucci once again transforms the ephemeral into the monumental, offering a canvas that delights the senses and rewards deeper contemplation. We offer complimentary worldwide shipping and cover all tariffs and import taxes for this artwork. Artist Biography: Ian Bertolucci, a native Italian immersed in the world of POP ART, cultivated his artistic fervor from a tender age. Rooted in the vibrant seaside town of Viareggio, his artistic odyssey found its genesis in the lively and colorful papier-mâché constructions of the annual carnival, sparking the flame of creative passion within him. As Ian traversed the corridors of life, his love for painting burgeoned. His parental abode metamorphosed into a sanctuary for his burgeoning collection of canvases, a tangible testament to his unwavering commitment to the art form. In 2019, his journey culminated in the completion of his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara, Italy. Subsequently, Ian’s online presence propelled him into the realm of a full-fledged artist. Ian Bertolucci’s oil paintings stand out for their opulent and vivid hues, theatrical lighting, and bold contrasts, collectively shaping and almost sculpting lively, colorful forms. Anchored in his work are the fundamental elements of rhythm and repetition, where certain subjects are meticulously studied and repeated, bordering on the obsessive. His artistic evolution has steered towards an exploration of the fluid, reflective, and translucent qualities inherent in everyday materials, pushing the boundaries of his creativity. Distinguished by an extensive color palette, Ian’s art doesn’t just aim to create visual impact; it aspires, above all, to infuse joy into the beholder’s experience. With a newfound focus on eliciting childlike wonder and playfulness, Ian Bertolucci endeavors to offer the world a lighthearted and joyful perspective through his art, encapsulating the essence of his creative vision. “By representing what surrounds me I am able to see and perceive life in a completely different dimension. Even the most seemingly insignificant things are able to convey a lot to us while remaining simple….” – Ian Bertolucci
