Description
This stunning abstract painting features a rich interplay of warm earth tones, including deep reds, soft oranges, and vibrant yellows. The textured surface creates a dynamic flow, with swirling forms that seem to radiate from a central void, evoking a sense of transformation and energy. Inspired by Baroque influences and the luminous color palettes of Venetian masters like Tintoretto, the composition balances both historical and contemporary elements. Its organic textures and flowing movement make it an ideal choice for modern interiors looking to introduce both warmth and complexity.
The natural, vibrant tones of this painting add a bold, yet refined visual impact, perfect for creating a focal point in living rooms or office spaces. The dynamic forms and textures lend the work versatility, allowing it to complement a range of design aesthetics, from minimalist to more ornate environments.
Vanni states, "My works allude to natural phenomena, in a raw state, devoid of the limiting constrictions of literal representation. Nature is there as a landscape, a view looking up in the air or plunging underwater. Imagery is kept on the edge of recognition, creating the final association in the mind.
Contrasts of matter, color, and light are created to provoke emotional responses. In the large paintings, the atmospheric composition is built by raised brushstrokes shattered and reassembled to reveal an underlying struggle. In the smaller works, paper is cast tumultuously as a counterpoint to its inherent frailness.
References to the history of painting are multiple and mixed: Venetian impasto and glazing, Luminist light, Abstract Expressionist texture, and Baroque perspective.
It is important to avoid mannerisms, metabolize the suggestions, and integrate them with empirical visual stimuli.
Dissecting responses to everyday experiences into light, color, and matter. There is no intent to escape reality, but to create a visual experience that communicates directly with our psyche, open to be reinterpreted continuously through our evolution and the changing times."
Ruggero Vanni was born in Paris. He studied painting from 1973 to 1978 at the Istituto d'Arte in Rome, Italy, under the guidance of Italian artist Michelangelo Conte, emphasizing fresco and artwork conceived as a part of the architectural context.
In 1979, he moved to New York to study art at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York, where he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1982. While at Cooper Union, the classes taught by Erwin Rubin, a former student of Josef Albers, were essential in defining Vanni's interest in colors as the founding elements of his work.
Vanni's artistic prowess has garnered international recognition. He lives and works in the artistic hub of New York City, where he has his studio. He also spends the year working in Italy and Greece, further enriching his artistic perspective. His work has been exhibited in prestigious venues in Italy and the United States and is included in public collections of museums and institutions, a testament to the significance of his artistic achievements. -
