Some critiques by renowned sector experts:

Gianfranco Zenerato belongs to that current of 1970s artists, stern messengers to Western society. While Milanese Antonio Recalcati and Roman Franco Mulas expressed social anger, Zenerato carries a poignant warning, where the defeat of man can also represent the threshold of secular redemption. It is a vision rich in symbolic meanings, of a painter of modern school who, with talent, reconciles research with experimentation. (Paolo Levi)

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

In this disturbing yet explicit visual message, the dialogue between chromatic essentiality and harmony of forms testifies to expressive tension and the mastery of a skilled artist. Interesting and original is the blend of flowers, fruits and contemporary technological objects. (Stefania Bison)

Gianfranco Zenerato develops symbolic narrations that unfold, step by step, the infinite possibilities of a fertile imaginary, organized according to ordered sequences of his own mental elaborations. His fantastical constructions could thus confuse critical judgment in defining him as a surrealist. This is not correct, as he does not offer an absurd and unreal imaginary, but, on the contrary, paints a reality familiar to us, with a communicative and highly symbolic purpose. (Sandro Serradifalco)

This Gianfranco Zenerato painting is technically well-structured, finely and richly articulated, and proposes the reality built by the mind of a visionary. His works have a strong scenic component, and those who scrutinize these messages are left to decipher what meaning the author attributed to them. He plays with symbols and cues and enjoys confusing the interpretive coordinates of what could be the weave of a story camouflaged as unreality. (Salvatore Russo)

With Gianfranco Zenerato we have an excellent idea, transformed with great skill into a figurative of anticipation, where modernity meets a time that no longer exists to reconnect us with feelings... (Giammarco Puntelli)

The author relies on overlapping and intersecting genres, on an allusive and metaphorical research incisive in subjects and colors. With a brilliant intuition he unifies past (still life), present (the female image) and future (symbolism, cryptic writing...) so that the work becomes an artistic but also literary and meta-narrative paradigm. He presses the painter to identify a new visual universe, to explore the limits of traditional iconography to demonstrate how painting today — amid so much noise — remains an original discipline. The artist's creativity then confirms — also thanks to the vivid cromatics — how the gender-related approach still has a right of citizenship in 21st-century painting.

Zenerato's painting guides us to a three-tier vision of reality. It is a journey through time that we undertake with the artist, who through various experiments has, over the years, placed his vision in a present that looks to the past as an ideal world, but long lost, and a future full of artificial and contrived contaminations.
It is a warning and a cautionary message that emerges from the elements placed on the canvas surrounding his overall vision. The “drum kit” that we find as a fixed element tells us “attention,” time is running out, and the strong pull of natural elements in the foreground, contaminated by objects from the technological world (the mouse, the CD or the alarm clock) emphasize how important it is not to sever the bond with the past, with a world where nature was predominant.
The female element, set on the temporal plane of the present, represents the archetype of the Mother-Earth placed in the middle ground between past and future.
Gianfranco, like an Odysseus, travels in this temporal dimension, in search of the forces that sustain and shape us, alter or govern our fate. Pressed toward the future, the man-artist faces the journey with strength and determination, but then realizes his own fragility in the face of the complexity of a world he has created, the technological one, which slips from his grasp, and thus feels the need to return to where he started. Thus the cyclicity returns where the journey is this eternal call to life and death. We must return to the starting point to find ourselves, and the female figure thus becomes a symbol of one who allows us to be reborn.
The words “to depart” and “to give birth” both contain the concept of separation and detachment, and in every journey undertaken by Gianfranco Zenerato there is this temporal circular allusion, this departure and then return. When looking to the future there remains nothing but to turn the gaze to the past to not lose our roots, not allow ourselves to be dehumanized by the technological and post-technological world.
Each journey places rationality and emotion on the same plane, raises doubts and fears, the rhythms of daily life distort and acquire different meanings.
Going toward the future becomes a challenge, captured in the gaze of the female, but also a danger because it is almost a loss of identity. When departing one must face separation from the “old self,” made of habits, roles and certainties. Departing is still freedom, and even if this is limited because one goes toward the unknown, it manages to order the past. The moving perspective becomes centrifugal and centripetal; the flow of expansion is the direction one is going, while the hub of contraction is the direction from which one comes, and in Zenerato’s works one has this sense of origin from one place and direction toward another. At the center the female figure as a point of reference: it is the artist’s consciousness, the heart of going, with its rhythms, noises, times, difficulties, discoveries and emotions.
The future time plane that represents arrival is, in some works, dehumanized, and the female figure is almost crumbled because the artist himself does not recognize himself in that placement: it is as if the loss of identity were a disconsolate resignation to the loss of connection with the past, and even the elements of still life become, in some cases, almost absent and overwhelmed by those of the technological world.
Thus it becomes fundamental to protect oneself from this advancing and almost uncontrollable future and to seek refuge in something known and ancient where even “illusions are real.”
With Gianfranco Zenerato we really have the opportunity to travel through dreams, signs and symbols, where each of us will see ourselves reflected in a mirror. Departing with him will mean momentarily shading those mirrors in anticipation of discovering a different image of ourselves. We may find our essence, realize the relativity of values and our own and others’ points of view. We may get lost and then find ourselves again, realizing a common nature, destiny and identity. (Gaetana Foletto)

The artist, starting from classic pastism with a language of pre-abstract figurative art, on the backdrop of his inner historical cosmology, moves the movable cursor of his evolving consciousness, up to the extreme emergencies of the present, subduing his learned technique to the energy of dream, sign, and symbol and especially to color, rich in brightness and timbral purity, to interact with the present even the technological one. His modernity is genuinely psychological and an intensive expression of his expressive charge of variables of the late 20th-century post-expressionism in quotation marks... with Caravaggesque perspective overlays... and modern psychology of post-Renaissance extraction (Rembrandt...). Zenerato has broad historical creative potential, masterfully combining it poetically, assembling, making the strings of the poetry of the soul vibrate on the coordinates of art history in universal values, and in scanning the cursor of his infinite imaginative evolution, through the hyperrealism of his visionary dream, a window opened added to reason. dialoguing with the present. (Prof. Alfredo Pasolino)

Very interesting his research: figurative reaches scenic effects in a space where a symbolic frequency vibrates, entrusted from time to time to dream, to myth, or to everyday reality, all harmonized by a splendid chromatic game.

The Artist of rigor and modernity
Edited by Francesco Cairone

The most original authors are not so because they promote what is new, but because they express what they have to say in a way that seems never to have been said before. (Goethe)

It is necessary to start from Goethe’s incisive phrase to talk about the rich and innovative painting of the artist Gianfranco Zenerato, and this is because through that simple sentence a great truth is told: in painting, almost everything has been done, and today the artist who seeks to conquer his own individuality, without letting himself be influenced by currents and Masters of the past, must overcome enormous obstacles because, as Giorgio Morandi also said, “There is basically nothing new in the world,” and therefore to be original one should paint considering social, technological and scientific evolutions.

It is said that art is for everyone but not for everyone; everyone has the right to be moved by a masterpiece, but painting and creating is a gift that God has granted only to a chosen few who, able to see what others often do not perceive, manage to transform the emotions that arise from small things, from a gesture, a caress, a gaze, into vibrant tones that color the dullness of the world around us.
Among these lucky ones one must surely include the Master Zenerato, a talented artist who makes meticulousness, rigor and fantasy one painting style that, although recalling past Masters, proves that the artist has learned from the lessons of fine painting, stealing from the greats an impeccable technique, presents a uniqueness and a visible individuality in that touch of elegant modernity present in each single creation, making him a rare bird in the national artistic panorama.
Blooms of flowers and ripe, lush fruit, laid against high marble walls worn by time and often defaced by amorous drawings of two young lovers, intertwine with objects of modern daily life, such as a CD-ROM, a mouse, a spatula, which become the link between past, present and future; the surrounding landscape, almost always seen at dusk when the green ray greets the sun and welcomes the moon, emerges with even greater vigor what Zenerato bans on the marble boards in the foreground, where a color increasingly vivid ranges from red, to yellow, to green, and to all the warmer tones of the rainbow.
And the rainbow seems to overshadow the career of this young and promising artist, prose writer of art because he creates a style that is initially poetic and then pictorial, with which he is able to represent what he feels by filtering ugliness and negativity that our world carries.

Some critiques by renowned sector experts:

Gianfranco Zenerato belongs to that current of 1970s artists, stern messengers to Western society. While Milanese Antonio Recalcati and Roman Franco Mulas expressed social anger, Zenerato carries a poignant warning, where the defeat of man can also represent the threshold of secular redemption. It is a vision rich in symbolic meanings, of a painter of modern school who, with talent, reconciles research with experimentation. (Paolo Levi)

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

In this disturbing yet explicit visual message, the dialogue between chromatic essentiality and harmony of forms testifies to expressive tension and the mastery of a skilled artist. Interesting and original is the blend of flowers, fruits and contemporary technological objects. (Stefania Bison)

Gianfranco Zenerato develops symbolic narrations that unfold, step by step, the infinite possibilities of a fertile imaginary, organized according to ordered sequences of his own mental elaborations. His fantastical constructions could thus confuse critical judgment in defining him as a surrealist. This is not correct, as he does not offer an absurd and unreal imaginary, but, on the contrary, paints a reality familiar to us, with a communicative and highly symbolic purpose. (Sandro Serradifalco)

This Gianfranco Zenerato painting is technically well-structured, finely and richly articulated, and proposes the reality built by the mind of a visionary. His works have a strong scenic component, and those who scrutinize these messages are left to decipher what meaning the author attributed to them. He plays with symbols and cues and enjoys confusing the interpretive coordinates of what could be the weave of a story camouflaged as unreality. (Salvatore Russo)

With Gianfranco Zenerato we have an excellent idea, transformed with great skill into a figurative of anticipation, where modernity meets a time that no longer exists to reconnect us with feelings... (Giammarco Puntelli)

The author relies on overlapping and intersecting genres, on an allusive and metaphorical research incisive in subjects and colors. With a brilliant intuition he unifies past (still life), present (the female image) and future (symbolism, cryptic writing...) so that the work becomes an artistic but also literary and meta-narrative paradigm. He presses the painter to identify a new visual universe, to explore the limits of traditional iconography to demonstrate how painting today — amid so much noise — remains an original discipline. The artist's creativity then confirms — also thanks to the vivid cromatics — how the gender-related approach still has a right of citizenship in 21st-century painting.

Zenerato's painting guides us to a three-tier vision of reality. It is a journey through time that we undertake with the artist, who through various experiments has, over the years, placed his vision in a present that looks to the past as an ideal world, but long lost, and a future full of artificial and contrived contaminations.
It is a warning and a cautionary message that emerges from the elements placed on the canvas surrounding his overall vision. The “drum kit” that we find as a fixed element tells us “attention,” time is running out, and the strong pull of natural elements in the foreground, contaminated by objects from the technological world (the mouse, the CD or the alarm clock) emphasize how important it is not to sever the bond with the past, with a world where nature was predominant.
The female element, set on the temporal plane of the present, represents the archetype of the Mother-Earth placed in the middle ground between past and future.
Gianfranco, like an Odysseus, travels in this temporal dimension, in search of the forces that sustain and shape us, alter or govern our fate. Pressed toward the future, the man-artist faces the journey with strength and determination, but then realizes his own fragility in the face of the complexity of a world he has created, the technological one, which slips from his grasp, and thus feels the need to return to where he started. Thus the cyclicity returns where the journey is this eternal call to life and death. We must return to the starting point to find ourselves, and the female figure thus becomes a symbol of one who allows us to be reborn.
The words “to depart” and “to give birth” both contain the concept of separation and detachment, and in every journey undertaken by Gianfranco Zenerato there is this temporal circular allusion, this departure and then return. When looking to the future there remains nothing but to turn the gaze to the past to not lose our roots, not allow ourselves to be dehumanized by the technological and post-technological world.
Each journey places rationality and emotion on the same plane, raises doubts and fears, the rhythms of daily life distort and acquire different meanings.
Going toward the future becomes a challenge, captured in the gaze of the female, but also a danger because it is almost a loss of identity. When departing one must face separation from the “old self,” made of habits, roles and certainties. Departing is still freedom, and even if this is limited because one goes toward the unknown, it manages to order the past. The moving perspective becomes centrifugal and centripetal; the flow of expansion is the direction one is going, while the hub of contraction is the direction from which one comes, and in Zenerato’s works one has this sense of origin from one place and direction toward another. At the center the female figure as a point of reference: it is the artist’s consciousness, the heart of going, with its rhythms, noises, times, difficulties, discoveries and emotions.
The future time plane that represents arrival is, in some works, dehumanized, and the female figure is almost crumbled because the artist himself does not recognize himself in that placement: it is as if the loss of identity were a disconsolate resignation to the loss of connection with the past, and even the elements of still life become, in some cases, almost absent and overwhelmed by those of the technological world.
Thus it becomes fundamental to protect oneself from this advancing and almost uncontrollable future and to seek refuge in something known and ancient where even “illusions are real.”
With Gianfranco Zenerato we really have the opportunity to travel through dreams, signs and symbols, where each of us will see ourselves reflected in a mirror. Departing with him will mean momentarily shading those mirrors in anticipation of discovering a different image of ourselves. We may find our essence, realize the relativity of values and our own and others’ points of view. We may get lost and then find ourselves again, realizing a common nature, destiny and identity. (Gaetana Foletto)

The artist, starting from classic pastism with a language of pre-abstract figurative art, on the backdrop of his inner historical cosmology, moves the movable cursor of his evolving consciousness, up to the extreme emergencies of the present, subduing his learned technique to the energy of dream, sign, and symbol and especially to color, rich in brightness and timbral purity, to interact with the present even the technological one. His modernity is genuinely psychological and an intensive expression of his expressive charge of variables of the late 20th-century post-expressionism in quotation marks... with Caravaggesque perspective overlays... and modern psychology of post-Renaissance extraction (Rembrandt...). Zenerato has broad historical creative potential, masterfully combining it poetically, assembling, making the strings of the poetry of the soul vibrate on the coordinates of art history in universal values, and in scanning the cursor of his infinite imaginative evolution, through the hyperrealism of his visionary dream, a window opened added to reason. dialoguing with the present. (Prof. Alfredo Pasolino)

Very interesting his research: figurative reaches scenic effects in a space where a symbolic frequency vibrates, entrusted from time to time to dream, to myth, or to everyday reality, all harmonized by a splendid chromatic game.

The Artist of rigor and modernity
Edited by Francesco Cairone

The most original authors are not so because they promote what is new, but because they express what they have to say in a way that seems never to have been said before. (Goethe)

It is necessary to start from Goethe’s incisive phrase to talk about the rich and innovative painting of the artist Gianfranco Zenerato, and this is because through that simple sentence a great truth is told: in painting, almost everything has been done, and today the artist who seeks to conquer his own individuality, without letting himself be influenced by currents and Masters of the past, must overcome enormous obstacles because, as Giorgio Morandi also said, “There is basically nothing new in the world,” and therefore to be original one should paint considering social, technological and scientific evolutions.

It is said that art is for everyone but not for everyone; everyone has the right to be moved by a masterpiece, but painting and creating is a gift that God has granted only to a chosen few who, able to see what others often do not perceive, manage to transform the emotions that arise from small things, from a gesture, a caress, a gaze, into vibrant tones that color the dullness of the world around us.
Among these lucky ones one must surely include the Master Zenerato, a talented artist who makes meticulousness, rigor and fantasy one painting style that, although recalling past Masters, proves that the artist has learned from the lessons of fine painting, stealing from the greats an impeccable technique, presents a uniqueness and a visible individuality in that touch of elegant modernity present in each single creation, making him a rare bird in the national artistic panorama.
Blooms of flowers and ripe, lush fruit, laid against high marble walls worn by time and often defaced by amorous drawings of two young lovers, intertwine with objects of modern daily life, such as a CD-ROM, a mouse, a spatula, which become the link between past, present and future; the surrounding landscape, almost always seen at dusk when the green ray greets the sun and welcomes the moon, emerges with even greater vigor what Zenerato bans on the marble boards in the foreground, where a color increasingly vivid ranges from red, to yellow, to green, and to all the warmer tones of the rainbow.
And the rainbow seems to overshadow the career of this young and promising artist, prose writer of art because he creates a style that is initially poetic and then pictorial, with which he is able to represent what he feels by filtering ugliness and negativity that our world carries.
