Description from the seller
Beautiful oil painting on panel depicting a Swiss chard (bietta) by painter Franco Bencivenga, who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome in 1980. This painting is a fascinating example of contemporary still life, elevating a humble and everyday subject like Swiss chard into a focus of artistic contemplation. The chard emerges from the darkness as a protagonist on a stage. The choice of such an architectural vegetable allows the artist to play with curved lines and plastic overlays. There is a fluid and almost sculptural application of color. The brushstrokes follow the natural direction of the plant’s growth, clearly rendering the fibrous texture of the stems and the lighter quality of the leaves....... The painting measures 27 x 37 cm without a frame; the frame will be provided as a complimentary addition. The work is accompanied by the painter’s certificate of authenticity. Careful packaging and prompt shipping are ensured.
