Item Number: 118315 Title: SUSANNA DE ANGELIS GARDEL : Creatures Author: Price: Not Available ISBN: 9788857213811 Description: Milano: Skira, 2012. 28cm., hardcover, 96pp., 48 illus., most in color. English-Italian text. Summary: As Ugo Nespolo writes in his text, "Susanna De Angelis makes tangible as well as visible her courageous commitment to revisiting, in a decidedly post-Pop style, the beauty and crouching quietude of the animal world. Her work appears almost hyperrealist, profound and intense. Susanna De Angelis paints with great determination and with a technique that is clearly not casual. Slowness of execution and meticulous detail are not always per se values in art. In our case, technical mastery complements a global vision and substantiates a well studied and thought-out compositional style. This vast compendium of beasts, wild animals, and aggressive displays are transfigured in her impeccable painting, which launches a bridge of affection toward those penetrating eyes, gaping maws, sharp teeth, and abeyant leaps. Animals as symbols of vital forces where the style of the image connects refined decorativism with a soul and a legitimately affectionate attitude. Capturing visions and physical times on canvas is an ancient yet ever contemporary gesture. Susanna De Angelis provides tried and tested proof of a positive attachment to testimony, to the document, to iconography. With great resolution she follows the way of joy in sacrifice, of originality in execution, of quality that guides her through a world where she pretends she doesn’t know the rules.Her gentleness and strength are good lessons for all to read and learn".
