Large Scale Venetian Paintings Now On View Thu, 29 Oct 2009

Be sure to pass by and view the impressive large scale canvases of Venetian artist Eros Rumor.

A lifetime working as a professional painter shows in the quality of these works by senior Venetian artist Eros Rumor. During the early 1950's Rumor completed his studies in Venice and Milan. As a young artist he became involved in the Nuova Figuazione (New Image) Movement. The member artists of this group sought to maintain traditional pictorial values while choosing subject matter of modern historical and social importance. During this time Rumor's work gained considerable acclaim and was well reviewed by the Italian press.

More recently he has looked to the past and from the late 1980's his work has been of Venetian landscapes. Rather than viewing this as regression Rumor sees it as the cycle of a life times work turning full circle. Working on both a large scale, such as 'Palazzo Wisteria' and the miniature works of recent times, these paintings from Rumor's later years are outstanding. The artist's use of light and shadow, his mastery of brushstrokes capturing the pale,crushed pearl light of La Seresnissima, the Serene Capital, all combine in these unique, well balanced works.
