Luciano Ventrone
Even
though Luciano Ventrone is internationally recognized as one of the
master realist painters of his generation, he believes that his works
are really about optics: “Painting is not about the mere representation
of an object, but its color and light,” he says. “The subject cannot be
seen as it is but as an abstract element.” Ventrone studied at Rome’s
Liceo Artistico and—in spite of experimenting with avant-garde
methods—garnered attention for his academic realism and attention to
anatomical detail; his life drawings would be published in a university
textbook on human anatomy. Ventrone’s paintings still frequently feature
nudes, as well as carefully arranged still lifes. For each of his
works, Ventrone carefully stages his subject under bright studio lights,
and photographs the arrangement for painting reference.
