Gian Berto VanniUnder the Skin - Nude Female Figures, Caryatids, Oil Painting in Brown Colors1993
1993
About the Item
This figurative surrealist oil painting on canvas measures 52 x 64-inch. The primary colors are earth tones, with accents of red and blue. The bodies of four female nudes, sitting in a specular composition, create an opening over a luminous world existing beyond the surface. The four figures have the same monumental presence of Greek caryatids supporting the roof of a temple. The painting balances abstraction and figuration as the four nude figures are not immediately recognizable because of the specular and intricate composition they are part of.
Gian Berto Vanni was born in Rome. He studied with Vordemberge-Gildewart in Holland and color theory with Joseph Albers at Yale University in New Haven. He was actively involved in the Italian Art scene of the 60s, moving to New York City at the end of the 70s. He taught color theory at the Cooper Union School of Art in NYC for over 30 years. His works have been shown in the United States, Europe, and Japan.
