About the Item

Carmen Calvo, Valencia 1950, studied at the School of Arts and Crafts. Degree in Advertising 1970. She studied at the School of Fine Arts in Valencia. In their stores, as archaeologists who classified the tiny traces of civilizations, Carmen Calvo, three years ago, when I met her at her Casa de Velázquez workshop, patiently added series of signs. It is about those insignificant remains that can be occasionally collected in the street or fragments of clay shaped by her own fingers. Thus, was developing in indecipherable writings, sequences of enigmatic speeches without beginning or end. She seemed to be playing. She was increasingly dominating her hand better. But in the background of seemingly playful exercise, an essential reference was revealed. To Van Gogh, to his way of painting, and specially drawing, juxtaposing brushstroke or trait, each of which, isolated, could easily partake in Carmen Calvo´s sets, whose most vivid desire was, while she got used to dominating space, to evoke, as in a palimpsest, behind the lines of those parodies of indecipherable books, the structures of huge extensions of the earth. The artist arrived at Paris. She settled, not without difficulty, at the City of Arts, facing the Seine. With a whole new light, vibrations under the arches of Pont Marie fascinated her as much as the force acquired by trunks of the large trees at Ile de France. She undoubtedly did not give up grinding clay, multiplying tracks and incisions, ordering them in long series of tiny formats as if they were pages of a private diary. However, the whole work changes under the influence of Parisian transplantation. Through a sudden explosion first, for the sake of broad gesture, by the will of erecting monumental forms, of representing, this time deliberately, vast tragic landscapes. Carmen Calvo is left today, to our great pleasure, to the pleasure of handling what Albert Skira called "the great palette", of entrusting to the smooth, thick, generous outpouring of coloured matter the task of translating what moves her. The irony does not disappear, and even less Van Gogh, in what he has of expressionist. But the game, the rigorous thoroughness and the scepticism of the early days, have allowed vigour to appear, affirmed to violence, of an admirable temperament. Feminine beyond all doubt: But of that robust femininity, unbreakable and fruitful that XII century moralists used as an example to drag men out of their inertia." Georges Duby (Trans. A. Firpo).

Gianfranco Asveri "Memorie"

By Gianfranco Asveri

Located in New York, NY

Memorie, #13062, by Italian artist Gianfranco Asveri mixed media on paper, gallery framed in white wood frame and under glass. Depicted are his recurring themes of his favourite subjects: his mother, his dog, his cat, his farm, and his farm animals. Live image measures 19.75 x 12.25 inches. Gianfranco Asveri was born in Fiorenzuola D’Arda, Italy, in 1948. The artist lives and works at Gasperini on the hills between Parma and Piacenza with his beloved dogs. He began to paint in 1969. His first work was merely figurative. In the 1980s he moved closer to the “Art Brut” style. Renowned in Italy, Asveri has just finished a solo exhibition in Genoa at the Medioeval “Commenda” and will be presented in Paris next February during the Contemporary Art Fair in Port de Versailles. Recently, the newspaper “Il Sole 24 Ore” (The Italian Economic newspaper) included Asveri among the artists to watch in terms of investment in the Italian Art Market. An appreciable number of famous critics have written essays about his works: Paolo Bledinger, Luca Beatrice, Flaminio Gualdoni and Martina Corgnati. Most Important Exhibitions: 2016 – Sogni dipinti, Galleria Rotaross, Novara. – Lo sguardo nascosto, Galleria Biffi Arte, Piacenza. 2015 – Abracadabra, Galleria Leonardus, Sestri Levante...

Located in Newfoundland, PA

Roseline Koener mixed-media 2002 About the artist: My adventurous journey as an artist has been focused on accessing the magic pool of vibrant colors and life forces deep within me. I marvel at the infinite richness and divine beauty of colors, sounds, patterns, textures, and fragrances of Mother Nature. I am inspired and amazed by the powerful and dynamic cycles of life, which generate newness and oneness. The circular movements of planets and every cell, the miraculous growth of plants and mountains, the morning’s eclosion of roses, and the buoyancy of ocean waves fascinate me. Artists and musicians like Klee, Matisse, Tombly, Motherwell, Frankenthaler, Anatsui, Bach, Hafiz, Rumi, Hildegard von...
