Piero Sadun Paintings

1919-1974

Piero Sadun was born in Siena on 11th November 1919. As a teenager, he joined the world of Sienese artists attending evening classes under the tutelage of the painter Umberto Giunti. In 1938, due to the fascist regime, he could not complete his studies as a Jew at the high school so prepared privately for the final test. He obtained his degree and left for Florence to the workshop of Prima Conti. Prima Conti, however, an official painter of the regime, had to let Sadun go. After studying with Memo Vagaggini, Sadun opened his studio in Siena, where he became a prominent figure in society. He painted frescoes between 1940–41, and in this period became very good friends with Cesare Brandi. He would sign everything during the war under his pseudonym T.Duna’ On 22nd November 1943, he escaped the clutches of those who would have him deported and joined a partisan brigade until the allies freed Siena in 1944. In early 1945, he moved to Rome, where, in 1947, he set up his first exhibition. In his career, he had further exhibitions in New York and Milan and won several awards. In 1966, he became the co-founder of an artistic group at Galliera Editalia with Lucia Fontana and Victor Pasmore amongst others. This group gave rise to a magazine called Qui Arte Contemporanea of Rome. There have recently been two exhibitions in L’Aquila and Siena to celebrate the centenary of his birth.

F30 - Geometric Abstract Shaped Painting Apricot Orange Navy Blue Stripes, 2022
By Elizabeth Gourlay
Located in Kent, CT
In this contemporary painting in acrylic on linen mounted on a shaped panel, two vertical blocks of color in dark lapis blue and soft, mottled orange are luminous against thinner neutral sections of exposed linen. Signed, dated and titled on verso. Elizabeth Gourlay’s work is a meditation on color and form, a gradual yet progressive analysis leading to a complex vocabulary of shapes, color and line. Musical composition, emotional states and our collective subconscious resonate within bars, lines and blocks of color. The abstract forms emerge, layer and shift in precisely ordered, carefully composed rhythms. The artist contemplates the elements that make color in reduced forms come to life: size, flatness, relation to its edges, and how the presence of other colors affect how it is perceived. Gourlay draws inspiration from shapes found in everyday life and in her studio. The observed shapes either remain as they are or become simplified to their essential geometric elements. Subtleties in color, area, edge or orientation are the catalyst for emotive responses. Palette is minimized; the artist rarely uses a wide palette within one work. Rather, a broad range of colors are explored and then reduced. Gourlay investigates color properties: complementary or analogous color, value, saturation and color harmony vs. color anomaly. Elizabeth’s Gourlay’s work has been shown extensively throughout the United States. The artist was the recipient of numerous residencies, fellowships and awards including Artist in Residence at the studio of Sol LeWitt in Spoleto, Italy. Gourlay’s work has been written about in The New Criterion, Painters’ Table and Gorky’s Granddaughter, to name a few. Gourlay earned her MFA at Yale University School of Art, New Haven, CT, and her BA from Edinburgh...

“Pen Decline 1 - 2 - 3 in Black” (Archeology series) Computer Keyboard Sculpture
By Daniel Fiorda
Located in New York, NY
Daniel Fiorda in this new series of sculptures, continues in many ways the themes that have infused his previous work. For the last several years, Fiorda has dealt with technology, obsolescence, with the trail of discarded tech that humanity leaves behind and what it says about us. The new work takes this thematic one step further. These new wall pieces feature barely concealed found objects, almost fully engulfed by concrete, and yet still eerily discernible: industrial gears, computer keyboards, objects that evoke industrial post-digital eras. This piece is a set of 3 artworks...
