Luciano Ventrone

About

Luciano Ventrone 06 Dec - 05 Jan 2013 Luciano Ventrone's paintings ‘invite a mood of pure contemplation' from the viewer; they are works of masterful skill and supreme aesthetic beauty. Though he admits sharing a strong affinity for the work of Caravaggio, Ventrone does not consider himself a realist painter in the traditional sense. He paints real objects but, because of his utilisation of certain contemporary techniques as part of the artistic process, the objects depicted are transported into a metaphysical, hyper-real context.
