Gianfranco Asveri, "Memorie", 14079

Whimsical, vibrant abstract oil and acyylic on canvas depicting Asveri's favorite themes of his mother, himself, his dog, his donkey, and his farm. Paint applied and then hand incised details gives the work a dimensional feel. Signed on back. Matte white gallery frame surrounds the work.

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.
