Painting the Human Story | Guided Tour of Sebastian Salvo's Exhibition EXODOS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Exodos is the title of Sebastian Salvo’s latest solo exhibition, uncovering his fables in a harmonious totality. The paintings are rough, warm and glowing, some of which are strikingly similar to the Late Rembrandt. For three years, Salvo studied with Odd Nerdrum, whose timeless pictures inspired his pupil’s way of employing archetypes and myths. Outsiders is a recurring theme in Salvo’s work - best described as dreamlike visions, grounded in the classical understanding of the human figure.
Self-portraits are at the very heart of his imagery. He places himself in the role of the eternal wanderer, inviting us to partake on his journey, encountering Dionysian maidens of every kind, from water nymphs to raving, frenzied maenads.
As a painter, Salvo has taken great interest in the fierce competition among craftsmen in Ancient Greece and 15th century Europe. Competing by imitation, he draws inspiration from living as well as historical painters, be it Nerdrum, Hertervig, Titian or El Greco.
Visions, dreams, and personal experience are all at play when Salvo is telling a story. But it is not his story. It is the human story. The one we all know and will always know to the end of time.
And when he is able to capture the character in a face, Salvo’s paintings are competing alongside the masterworks of history.

He is good no doubt, but to start comparing him to Rembrandt? Not in the same class I am sorry.....No way....A few notches below...
he is good, but those people live in their close circuit world
@@MCsVoice97 They do. My art teacher was a student of Annigoni. I was lucky enough to meet him and work with him. Going to see him again in November for 2 weeks. He teaches the old way. Nothing like these guys. Absolutely amazing.
Most of Odd's students have a serious ego problem, it seems that they come out of there and really believe that they are the only ones capable of understanding the old masters.
@@nyancatchileno oh not only! humanity, and nature too. they know all the secrets of this world! and the way this Jan-Ove is constantly laughing at everything that won't go with their "philosophy" ... something
@@MCsVoice97 yep….
