About the Item

Echos, 2019 Etching inch 11.8 x 7.8 Young Sicilian (Italy) painter, Simone Geraci was born in 1985 in Palermo, where he lives and works. In 2012, he graduated from Accademia di Belle Arti of Palermo with a major in art graphics. Painter, illustrator and engraver, he works with both Italian and International art galleries. Today, he is the artistic director of the publishing house "Il Palindromo". His artworks are characterized by monotone colour, his preferred colour is red, even if in the last years he expanding to the colours of blue and natural. The work of Simone Geraci, a young artist from Palermo, is a micro-world of seemingly unmovable figures, saturated colours and suspended gazes. Simone's Women, his portraits and nudes harmonise perfectly with the figures and geometric shapes created by the use of slate as an element of rupture, censure and paradox. The creative process begins with the search for portrait photos or nudes, often found on the web or in flea markets. He seeks in them the suggestion necessary to start speculating on the compositional structure and the possible relations and tensions within the work. He does not use any particular methods of transferring the image onto canvas or slate, in order to avoid a rigid execution he prefers to sketch the figure directly in fusaggine or directly in oil, preferring the almost natural tendency to 'manierate' the forms represented. Such a direct approach makes possible, right from the sketching stage, to correct or modify those parts that do not cooperate with the balancing act between forms and space. The subjects represented are taken from archive photos, vintage nudes or portraits that refer to a canon of beauty and forms from a past not so distant from our present. There is an intention to suggest to the viewer an idea of suspended time, in which the figures or portraits are harnessed and helpless. It is a state of apparent immobility in which tensions and actions are confined to the gazes, their vanishing points and the slightest, cautious gestures. The monochrome gives the composition and the subject represented an idea of suspension; it participates in the creation of a micro-world in which time ceases its natural flow. It is a way of emphasising and harnessing a gestural expressiveness taken to the minimum in which the subjects converse with the geometric figures, true architectures that often accompany the viewer's gaze towards the fulcrum of the work. It is a style of painting that often, or almost always, turns its attention to the art of the past, to its manners and materials
