Oil on canvas applied on plywood; hand signed by the artist on the lower left margin. Frame included. Perfect conditions. The artwork represents an abstract composition with lively and opposing colors. Noteworthy is the use of the black shapes at the bottom of the painting to create a true sense of depth. The contrast between the blue and the red is very intense; the light colors in the background provide a particular sense of light to the composition. The title of the artwork recalls and pays homage to one of the most important art movements born in America between World War I and II: Abstract Expressionism. The movement includes some of the most important exponents of XX-century art, such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, and Robert Motherwell. Lo Fermo's work was inspired by these masters especially for their very expressive use of colors and for their free use of abstract shapes. 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. less
