About the Item
With an illustrator’s eye for graphic impact and a wry sense of humor, artist Yoko Tanaka uses only a paint brush and her imagination to conjure whimsical landscapes and playful encounters. Lingering in the surreal, her dreamlike paintings of human-animal hybrids are at once mischievous and melancholic, painted within a limited palette of soft, smoky tones that give her works a sense of stillness and otherworldliness.
In this moody painting entitled "Encounter," black and white chess pieces are reimagined as preoccupied passerby, each shuffling past as they cross a checkered road. At the back of the board, two cloaked figures encounter each other face to face, both holding a paper airplane with nowhere left to throw it - perhaps a pair of stalemated pawns? The background of rolling hills is sparsely dotted with trees, mirroring the chess-piece figures, and creates a surreal, atmospheric landscape that fades into cloudy skies.

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.

2016
– Sogni dipinti, Galleria Rotaross, Novara.
– Lo sguardo nascosto, Galleria Biffi Arte, Piacenza.
