Alexandre Briganti
The Armchair

2017

About the Item

Italian-French painter Alexandre Briganti, a graduate of the Van der Kelen Higher Painting Institute, is a member of the Taylor Foundation. He paints "alla prima" creates intimate paintings of a rare intensity. Interior scenes where human presence is barely suggested are similar to shelters. The profound silence that emerges from it sends us back to our interiority. Alexandre Briganti considers his research as a quest for wholeness and serenity. His subjects take the form of timeless allegory and introspective metaphor. His orderly compositions evoke abandonment and the expectation of a return to life. Designed as peaceful parentheses, Alexandre Briganti's paintings exude a sweet melancholy, enhanced by a chromatic palette in brown, gray, pink and white tones and counterbalanced by the warmth of light. The visual artist elegantly manipulates figurative painting, oscillating between a trompe-oeil and a free interpretation of the places he represents. The spectator observing a painting by Alexandre Briganti, does not enter a foreigner into these rooms; he's at home. The powerful aestheticism emanating from his paintings, which he treats with many detail, transforms his subjects into treasures of eternity.

  • Room With View To Pool, Florence, Italy, 2020
    Located in Hudson, NY
    ABOUT Born in 1967, Piussi was raised in Florence where he studied at the Istituto d’arte, majoring in sculpture and painting and completing his artistic education at Milano’s Brera Art Academy. He lives in Florence, pursuing painting, bas-reliefs in terracotta and in bronze, and bronze sculpture. Piussi presents an ideal, almost childlike world which can be found below everyday events, a step outside the flow of time, yet still a part of contemporary life, with a nod to Alex Katz and David Hockney. The drama, or lack thereof, is played out in simplified, almost abstract spaces. Pure in intent, Piussi’s oeuvre are inspired by the Early Renaissance. Snapshot images of a world reduced to its essence, the apparently comic-book style has echoes of Giotto, Paolo Uccello, of medieval illuminations. Rather than mimicking the appearance of nature, Piussi reaches for its essence, without distracting details. Women stand on the shore of quintessentially peaceful seas, self-contained, at ease, unwitting replicas of classical goddesses - a proud diver echoes Neptune holding a trident. “Queen Kong...
