About the Item
George Tzannes is an American painter of Greek origins. In his twenties he visited Kythera, the Greek island of his father's birth. Since that time, Greece and the island of Kythera has become the major reference of his creativity.
The focus of this artwork is a subject very dear to Tzannes: the timeless, spiritual quality of the Kytherian landscape, where nature and ancient monument's ruins mix in an endless circle of life. The beautiful stone-filled window, so up-close and almost tangible, is invested of an iconic and monumental stature that transcend the subject. Stems of grass pierce through into the canvas, reminding the viewer that life and nature are all around. The gentle blue light pervading everything creates the sensation of fresh air all around. The visual experience slowly becomes almost physical as if the viewer could step into the painting, touch the wall and become part of history by doing so.

- Birth of Light - Abstract Gestural Oil Painting with Orange and Yellow ColorsBy Ruggero VanniLocated in New York, NYRuggero Vanni's Birth of Light is a 60 x 48 inch abstract gestural oil painting. It is an abstract landscape of vigorous brushstrokes and light, with a strong luminous central focus. The main colors are orange, yellow, and rust. There are clear references to the masters of the Hudson River School, also known as Luminism, as well as the Romantic paintings of English artist William Turner. Vanni states, "My works allude to natural phenomena, in a raw state, devoid of the limiting constrictions of literal representation. Nature is there, as a landscape, a view looking up in the air, or plunging down underwater. Imagery kept on the edge of recognition, so the final association is created in the mind. Contrasts of matter, color, light, are created to provoke emotional responses. In the large paintings the atmospheric composition is built by raised brushstrokes shattered and reassembled to reveal an underlying struggle. In the smaller works paper is cast tumultuously as a counterpoint to its inherent frailness. References to the history of painting are multiple and mixed: Venetian impasto and glazing, Luminist light, Abstract Expressionist texture, Baroque perspective. It is important to avoid mannerism, metabolize the suggestions and integrate them with empirical visual stimuli. Dissecting responses to everyday experiences into light, color, matter. There is no intent to escape reality, but to create a visual experience that communicates directly with our psyche; open to be reinterpreted continuously through our own evolution and the changing times." Ruggero Vanni was born in Paris. He studied painting from 1973 to 1978 at the Istituto d’Arte in Rome, Italy, under the guidance of Italian artist Michelangelo Conte...Category
