Original … Read more Homage to Arshile Gorky is an original contemporary artwork realized by the Italian artist Giorgio Lo Fermo in 2020. Original oil painting on canvas. Hand-signed and dated on the back by the artist: G.Lo Fermo 20. Mint condition. The artwork is a wonderful exemplar of abstract compositions. The colors are lively, and the contrast between the orange background and the acid green shape in the foreground is vibrant. The title recalls and pays homage to one of the most important artists of the artists of the Abstract Expressionism: Arshile Gorky (1904-1948) an American artist of Armenian origin, important as the direct link between the European Surrealist painters and the painters of the American Abstract Expressionist movement. This work has been realized by Giorgio Lo Fermo. He is an Italian painter and sculptor. He was born in Sicily in 1947, but has lived and worked in Rome since the mid-1960s. He studied at the School of Arts and Crafts of San Giacomo and then Sociology of Art at the University of Rome. His innovative style took form in the 70s, in the stimulating atmosphere of the new Rome, re-born through the creative vitality of Fellini and Rossellini. Lo Fermo’s style is a studied symbolic elaboration of varying rhythms, in which objectivity and logic give way to a liberal expression of the dynamic content. His concept is reanimated in color and in aesthetics, which take kinetic paths toward both reality and fantasy, connecting themselves intimately with experience and interior tension. During his career, Giorgio Lo Fermo has participated in international exhibitions in New York (1992), Stockholm (1992), Budapest (1992/1993), Hong Kong (1994) and in the International Art Competition of New York in 1995. He won several important recognitions and awards: the Italian Art Leader Award ’92, the Art and World Prize of Hong Kong in 1994; he was also nominated member of the Accademia Internazionale Greci/Marino. The major galleries in Rome, such as A. Consorti, Gradiva, Babuino and Yanika, exhibit his canvases, and his work is held in private collections both in Europe and in America. See less
