GIANFRANCO ZENERATO (Professional Artist - Italy)
Active since 1990, he has undertaken an artistic path that has led him to participate in over 600 art events, receiving national and international recognitions for the quality of his works. With over 500 awards to his name, his creations enrich notable public and private collections in Italy, Europe, America and Asia. He has exhibited alongside masters such as Antonio Nunziante, Athos Faccincani, Alfonso Borghi, Giuseppe Menozzi, Giampaolo Talani, Saturno Buttò, etc...
Currently, he collaborates with the renowned art critic, Prof. Giammarco Puntelli.
Some of the numerous reviews from well-known art sector experts:
Gianfranco Zenerato belongs to that current of seventies-era artists, stern messengers to Western society. While Milanese Antonio Recalcati and Roman Franco Mulas expressed social anger, Zenerato instead bears a poignant warning, where the defeat of man may also represent the threshold of a secular redemption. It is a vision dense with symbolic meanings, of a painter from a modern school who, with talent, reconciles research with experimentation. (Paolo Levi)
One notices in this emblematic image a kind of invitation to meditate on the beauty of a still life, of a flower and of a young woman. The classical stillness interrupts the suspended atmosphere of a gray world, the contemporary one, that distracts us from the dream. (Paolo Levi)
In this unsettling yet explicit visual message, the dialogue between chromatic essentiality and the harmony of forms testifies to expressive tension and the mastery of a skilled artist. The interesting and novel blend of flowers, fruits and modern technological objects (mouse, CD, alarm clock) marks the link between past, present and future. The surrounding landscape, often captured at dusk when the green ray salutes the sun and welcomes the moon, intensifies what Zenerato bans on the marble boards in the foreground, where a more vibrant color range—from red to yellow to green and all the warmer tones of the rainbow—emerges.
And the rainbow seems to crown the career of this young and promising artist, a prose-writer of art who creates a style that is initially poetic and then pictorial, through which he represents what he feels, filtering the ugliness and negativities that our world carries.
