Bartolo Gentiluomo (1973) - Lavanda

Wonderful work on canvas, measures cm. 50 x 40 h. by the painter GENTILUOMO BARTOLO.Materia, di spessore e di grande fascino...! Tonal atmosphere, played out through countless shades of green, blue, yellow, red. This work depicts a group of friends enjoying an outdoor party or barbecue in a tropical or summery setting. Created with a rich textured material (impasto effect), predominantly laid using a spatula, which leaves bold, geometric, and relief-like strokes on the canvas. Five young and elegant figures arranged around a table. On the left, a bearded man and a smiling woman in a yellow top converse nearby; on the right, a man and two women interact with each other, holding glasses and bottles for a toast. In the foreground there is a richly laid table with fresh fruit (including slices of watermelon, melon, or citrus) and a large punch bowl or barbecue bowl at the center. The palette is dominated by strong contrasts between the cool tones of the background (deep blue, purple, touches of turquoise) and the warm, sun-kissed tones of the subjects and the large umbrellas above (vibrant yellow, orange, red and white). The play of light enhances the festive and convivial atmosphere of the scene. Signed bottom right; title and counter-signature on the back, Authentic photo and signature on the back. Courier shipment.
