Cécile BiscigliaVan.I.T II by Cécile Bisciglia - Ballpoint pen drawing on canvas, scull, dark2013
2013
About the Item
Van.I.T is a unique drawing by contemporary artist Cécile Bisciglia. The drawing is made with ballpoint pen, acrylic and posca on canvas, dimensions are 150 × 150 cm (59.1 × 59.1 in).
The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
In pursuit of her philosophical goals, Bisciglia continues to experiment with the Vanity genre of art. The only means by which the artist conveys this memento mori is by using the skull as a symbol. To emphasize the symbolism of death, her drawings omit faded flowers, candles, or scientific objects.
Bisciglia has dedicated herself to creating large-scale drawings with a BIC ball-point pen since 2009. The originality of her work comes from the fusion of her academic drawing abilities and her proficiency with a basic tool, a biro. A ballpoint pen gives her the same graphic finesse as a pencil would, and it has the added benefit of being indelible. Depending on the pressure and/or inclination used, her skill with this instrument enables her to obtain various shades of grey. Bisciglia fights a real battle with the painter's own medium, the canvas.

The painting is framed (41.5"h x 29.5”w) with conservation quality, high UV-filtering museum glazing. Signed by the artist. Part of Skip Hill's 'Love Garden Party' series, this work depicts four women gathered around a festive table filled with food and drink with a myriad of disparate objects including masks, Asian porcelain, and flowers. Skip Hill was born in 1961 in Padre Island, Texas but grew up primarily in Oklahoma City. After attending Oklahoma City University to study Advertising and Marketing, he worked as a graphic designer before relocating in 1987 to Southern California. A two-week trip to Thailand in 1989 turned into a year traveling throughout Southeast Asia while writing for a business magazine based in Bangkok. In 1990 Skip Hill relocated to the Netherlands, immersing himself in the culture and learning the Dutch language.
