i wanted to post some artwork by an artist i've been thinking about lately, luciano ceschia! i'd come across his work when trying to research northern italian artists; he was born and worked in tarcento, udine.
i tried seeing if any of his work was posted to tumblr yet but i didn't see much, so i figured i'd fix that! i tried my best to source stuff but a lot of images i could find were on auction sites. his website, linked above, has a ton of wonderful images though, i'd suggest taking a peek at that!
the way he uses shape, line and hatching is so incredible; i think one of my favourite things i've seen in a while is his sculpture, cinghiale (also shown above). it's almost primordial?
the texture and sharp forms jutting out, the balance of skeletal and flesh, in both his drawings and this particular sculpture, are so satisfying. it's made me want to push my own work in terms of abstracting planes and forms.
