Shore - Drawing by Arturo Pagano - 1980s

1980s

Shore is a modern artwork realized by Arturo Pagano in the 1980s. Watercolor drawings. Good conditions.

Seascape is a watercolor on paper realized by Michele Ricciuti in 1980s. Hand signed in pencil lower left. In very good condition, it includes a wooden frame.

"My work principally consists of deeply abstracted figure compositions--intuitive constructions that begin with random marks establishing larger masses of torsos, heads, and limbs in an undefined setting. The emphasis is almost purely on intuition. The figures are born of their surrounding environment, emerging only partially and fugitively from the layers of pigment. A narrative is evident but never overt. A crown, a shield, a boat, a wheel. Though the subject has recently coalesced around my reading of Dante and Shakespeare, the settings remain extremely vague- a beach, an interior, a woodland. The paintings are, in the end, meditations on the relationship between the protagonists in a wordless drama. In my paintings, I use a cold wax medium combined with dry pigments, oil paint, and embedded fragments of burlap. The surfaces eventually build up into a dense, rugged terrain." --Thaddeus Radell
