"E il conforto" [SOLD], Sabatino Cersosimo

"E l’amore guardò il tempo e rise, perchè sapeva di non averne bisogno. Finse di morire per un giorno, e di rifiorire alla sera, senza leggi da rispettare. Si addormentò in un angolo di cuore per un tempo che non esisteva. Fuggì senza allontanarsi, ritornò senza essere partito, il tempo moriva e lui restava." (Luigi Pirandello, "E l'amore guardò il tempo e rise") About the comfort we are looking for and the one we get, between wish, expectations and resignation. It's painted on 15 welded steel plates, with an aluminium structure on the back that allow the painting to appear 5 cm distanced from the wall, almost suspended.

"Fregio (Second Movement)"[SOLD], Sabatino Cersosimo

Almost three years ago, as I was at the opening of the Archeological Museum in Turin, I was fascinated from some old roman friezes ("fregi" in italian), and I imagined how beautiful is a face emerging from the stone, from earth.. and from rusts, as consequent thought concering my works. So that´s it, the second time I try it, after the first time with the Experiment auf Stahl XXIII in 2013 (sold here on saatchi after a Showdown contest). It is painted on 4 welded steel plates. It is hung through magnets on the back (see pictures).

"L'Apparenza", Sabatino Cersosimo

A face appearing or fading. Appearance as an unsecure interpratation of reality, because of light, because of perception, because of human reason... All the parts you perceive as red/brownish are rusted. The oxidation process is started in a natural way, with water, salt and other materials. The fascination of this process is that, although the painting is covered by layers of varnishes and wax to protect it from the humidity and air, the rust can not be completely stopped, so that with the time it will change and develop in a surprising way. The surface is a 4-welded steel plates, and it is hung with magnets and little copper pipes behind it.

"Don't listen when I scream (VI)" (on show), Sabatino Cersosimo

From the series "Don't listen when I scream", a metaphor of how man face life. All the parts you perceive as red/brownish are rusted. The oxidation process is started in a natural way, with water, salt and other materials. The fascination of this process is that, although the painting is covered by layers of varnishes and wax to protect it from the humidity and air, the rust can not be completely stopped, so that with the time it will change and develop in a surprising way. The metal surface is made of combined steel plates of 0,5 mm thick. The painting is mounted on an aluminum structure/frame of 4 cm thick behind it.

"Homme" (2012), oil on birch, 30x39 cm. Portrait of a beautiful french friend, when wood was the only surface I painted on. The style was a bit fresher and "rawer" than now 💙 • • #figurativepainting #oilpainting #privatecollection #contemporaryartcollector #portrait #man #boy #frenchman #realisticpainting #artoftheday #instaart #malerei #kunstinwien #beardedman #redhairman #sabatinocersosimo (presso Vienna, Austria) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByQWfrFiuHI/?igshid=1hqz521kwm5ko

In this quite busy moment exhibiting in Berlin, Pietrasanta and Munich, I would like to share "Stardust", the new painting for which I have decided to try using only three different kinds of white (Carrara's, titanium and zinc white). Let's see if time will warm it up and turn it into pink 😉 "Stardust" (2029), oil and oxidation on steel, 25x25 cm, was inspired by the wonderful expressive actor Terence Stamp in Fellini's short film "Toby Dammit" as part of the thrilogy "Histoires extraordinaires" (I love the italian title: Tre passi nel delirio). It will be shown in the exhibition/open house "Living Cities" c/o the Treptow Ateliers on Friday 17th (unfortunately I won't be physically there) during a cultural exchange with an artists house in Kyoto. 💙 🇯🇵 • • • #oilpainting #oxidation #steel #white #newpainting #sabatinocersosimo #experimentalart #contemporaryart #figurativepainting #realisticpainting #artoftheday #portrait #terencestamp #federicofellini #man #face #instaart #dailypainting (presso TREPTOW ATELIERS) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxfs76jCQKM/?igshid=1plsw8xmtjgvk

"A Beautiful Day (in Nara)", Sabatino Cersosimo

People have a big meaning to me, so this japanese boy is the portrait of a beautiful time I had in the japanese city. All the parts you perceive as red/brownish are rusted. The oxidation process is started in a natural way, with water, salt and other materials. The fascination of this process is that, although the painting is covered by layers of varnishes and wax to protect it from the humidity and air, the rust can not be completely stopped, so that with the time it will change and develop in a surprising way. The painting is made of 4 hand welded steel plates hung with 4 little copper pipes (on the 4 corners of the back side) containing magnets, so that they can be adjusted depending on nails on the wall and at the same time they create a space between the painting itself and wall.
