Comfort Zone, Crouching Nude Female Figure, Gazing Upward, Oil on Canvas
By Juan Barragán
Located in Chicago, IL
Getting out of one's comfort zone and ending the anxiety by rebuilding the lineal composition, the contrasts of color, textures and even the narrative. This happens just by throwing an impulsive stroke of red paint. While the figure is not in real danger, i.e. actually bleeding, but instead the red paint represents stepping out of one's comfort zone. It means to leave the status quo...

Bugnato
By Gian Berto Vanni
Located in New York, NY
This miniature paintings is part of a body of work in very small formats that Gian Berto Vanni has been creating since the late 1980s.
For these small precious paintings Vanni uses a very unique and ancient technique called egg tempera, widely used by the 14th century Italian school of Siena and the artists of Early Italian Renaissance. It employs an emulsion of water and egg yolks to bind the colour pigments. The tempera is typically applied onto wood panels prepared with layers of gesso to form a smooth surface. The tempera is then applied and built up slowly in a series of thin, transparent layers. For this work the smoothness of the surface is contradicted by the tridimensionality of the "bugnato" effect painted on the 2 sides of the panel. Bugnato is a type of rustication, a masonry technique particularly used in the Italian Renaissance architecture...
