Blue Square is an original artwork realized by Giorgio Lo Fermo (b. 1947) in 2015. Oil on canvas applied on plywood. Hand signed and dated by the artist on the back. Hand signed on the lower right corner. Perfect conditions. Blue Square is a gorgeous painting trealized by the Italian artist Giorgio Lo Fermo. The composition recalls geometrical artworks realized after World War I, especially those realized by Piet Mondrian and Theo Van Doesburg. Lo Fermo's work was inspired by iconic forms and compositions, as well as by the artist's own imagination of a geometrical surface. The colors are bright, and create strong contrasts between dark and light shades of violet. The vertical and horizontal lines are realized with an acid green; the outlines are in contrast with the violet color of the tiles. They resemble some kind of mosaic or a bright glass window. The tiles of the mosaic are big in the margins, while become smaller in the center. The colors of this composition are extremely bright, and confer a sense of fineness to the whole surface of the canvas. Giorgio Lo Fermo 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.
