Italian Tropical Colorful Oil on Canvas Panels Brass Frame by Spadacini, 1990s

About the Item

A set of four decorative tropical subject panels. Jungle, birds and a wonderful Tucano are represented in colorful and joyful composition. Colors most present are yellow and green in different tones. Oil on canvas framed in brass frames. In pictures you will find the panels without frames also. Frames have been added recently. The author is Beppe Spadacini. Price refers to a set of four panels. Each panel measures 76 x 180 cm - 29.92 x 70.86 inches. Idea for home decoration: you can keep those panels both one very close to each other to form a unique painting, as well as separated to give a lighter visual effect for example along hallway. Further you can keep them behind a book case as if they are a wall paper. Beppe Spadacini comes from Cernobbio on Lake Como. It seems like a resort area dotted with 500-year-old mansions but it is also the traditional heart of Italy's silk-producing center. When he was 10 years old his father, a gardener, found a postcard in a client's spring-cleaning detritus. He took it home to his son. It was a postcard from Hawaii and for the young Italian it was love at first sight. Spadacini began working as an apprentice in illustration at age 16. By 22, he had his own studio and pounded the pavement to sell designs. Over the years Beppe has traveled to Hawaii, Indonesia, South America and other tropical paradises seeking inspiration for his designs. Bali in particular and it's flora and fauna have provided the main inspiration for Spadacini's designs, and for the first five books of his work that he has published. "The first time I went there I completely fell in love with the place," he said. "Nature is just incredible there - the varieties of green, the colors of the birds - it is fascinating." As one of the top textile experts in Italy, Spadacini's talent has been sought by famous fashion designers such as Gianni Versace, Tommy Bahama, Gianfranco Ferre, Etro, Valentino, Issey Miyake, Missoni and Moschino. Refusing to limit himself to designing only for the fashion world, he has branched out and become involved in many aspects of the arts, from art exhibits, to illustrations, murals, ceramics and books.
