Lucio Del Pezzo Mixed Media
Italian, 1933-2020
Lucio Del Pezzo (1933–2020) was an Italian artist renowned for his contributions to painting and sculpture, characterized by a unique blend of Neo-Surrealist, Neo-Dadaist, and Pop Art influences.
Early Life and Education: Born on December 13, 1933, in Naples, Del Pezzo studied painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Naples. In 1958, he co-founded "Gruppo 58," an art movement associated with the "Movimento Nucleare" led by Enrico Baj, and contributed to the avant-garde magazine "Documento Sud." Career Highlights: In 1960, Del Pezzo moved to Milan, encouraged by Enrico Baj and Arturo Schwarz, and held his first solo exhibition at Galleria Schwarz. The following year, he exhibited in the United States, winning the Carnegie International Award. By 1964, he participated in the XIII Triennale di Milano, co-creating the "Labirinto del Tempo Libero" with artists like Enrico Baj and Lucio Fontana, earning international recognition. He also took part in the XXXII Venice Biennale. Del Pezzo later relocated to Paris, residing in Max Ernst's former studio, and continued to exhibit across Europe and the United States. In 1966, he was featured with a personal room at the XXXIII Venice Biennale. Throughout his career, he collaborated with architects on interior designs and created large-scale public artworks, including ceramic reliefs and bronze sculptures for the Naples underground stations in 2001. Del Pezzo's work is distinguished by the incorporation of geometric shapes, symbols, and enigmatic references, often arranged in assemblages that blur the line between painting and sculpture. His art reflects a rational geometry with a metaphysical bent, influenced by Pop Art, and showcases a deep engagement with both popular culture and classical traditions.
Lucio Del Pezzo passed away on April 12, 2020, in Milan. His work continues to be celebrated for its innovative fusion of different artistic movements and its contribution to 20th-century Italian art.to

Christ Pantocrator after an Russian icon of the 15th Century
Located in Segovia, ES
Christ Pantocrator after a Russian icon of the 15th Century.
Tempera and gold leaf on gesso over a wooden board.
Measurements in centimeters: 38 x 29.5 x 3 cm. / In inches: 14.96 x 11.8 x 1.18 "
This is how the artist sums up the technique used by him to create the icon:
“The aim of these steps is to create a durable painting. The icon is eternal.
The first step is to choose a support, traditionally made of wood, from the center of the trunk to avoid warping it. For this purpose, two hardwood bolts were often used on the back to give the picture panel additional stability.
Often a frame is milled out. Then the image carrier is sanded smooth and now 12 or 14 thin layers of gesso are applied and sanded smooth as well.
Then the preliminary drawing is applied and the drawing board is prepared with a special preparation called bolus. This bolus can be polished to a high gloss. Afterwards, the gold leaf is
"shot" with special brushes. It dries up within a few hours and can now be polished with agate. Gold leaf is real 24-carat gold.
Now does the actual process of painting begins. Egg tempera is made fresh from egg yolk, water, and a little vinegar. This is used to prepare the color pigments.
Tempera painting is done in numerous layers from dark to light.
When the icon is finished, it is left to dry for a few months and varnished with a special varnish called Olifa made from boiled linseed oil and other ingredients”.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Oliver Samsinger (Vienna, 1968) began to take an interest in icons in 1990. He undertakes several trips to Bulgaria, Greece, and Cyprus to see in situ the original works treasured in these three countries. This experience will be crucial in his life since the studies carried out in Sofia, the Bulgarian capital, and his stay on Mount Athos...
