"ICON" is a visual reflection on the sacredness of technology. The everyday object, a mouse, is elevated to a relic of digital thought, a center of chromatic energy that vibrates like an aura. The painting material becomes the language of the information flow, translating the mechanical gesture into inner perception. The artist transforms functionality into symbol, restoring to the present an image of worship: the icon of our connected time.
Owning ICON means safeguarding a fragment of the most authentic contemporaneity: a work that unites aesthetics, reflection and technological memory. A painting destined to become a testament to our passage from analog man to digital man.

Some critical remarks from well-known sector experts:

Gianfranco Zenerato belongs to that stream of 1970s artists, stern messengers toward Western society. While the Milanese Antonio Recalcati and the Roman Franco Mulas expressed social anger, Zenerato instead bears a poignant warning, where man’s defeat can also signal the threshold of secular redemption. It is a vision dense with symbolic meaning, from a modern-school painter who with talent reconciles research and experimentation. (Paolo Levi)

One notices in this emblematic image a kind of invitation to meditate on the beauty of a still life, a flower and a young woman. The classicity of these silent images interrupts the suspended atmosphere of a gray world, the contemporary one, which distracts us from the dream. (Paolo Levi)

In this unsettling yet explicit visual message, the dialogue between chromatic essentialism and the harmony of forms testifies to the expressive tension and the mastery of a skilled artist. An interesting and new blend of flowers, fruits and contemporary technological objects (a mouse, a CD or a wake alarm) that links past, present and future; the surrounding landscape, often seen at dusk when the green ray salutes the sun and welcomes the moon, emerges even more strongly what Zenerato bans on the marble panels in the foreground, where a more vivid color range—from red, to yellow, to green, and all warm tones of the rainbow—dominates.
And the rainbow seems to overshadow the career of this young and promising artist, prose-poet of art who creates a style that is first poetic and then painterly, capable of representing what he feels by filtering the ugliness and negativity that our world carries.
