Narciso Painting

Chromaterical compositions, Pictosculptures and “the other art” The new artistic creations by Laura Antonietti can be defined as “Chromometrical compositions”. Laura Antonietti is a painter in constant evolution, that hovers lightly over a caducous world made of phenomena, of materials and communicative language, by proposing intriguingly fascinating artworks that attract the viewer’s interest. The “from life” effects, that Laura Antonietti has recreated also on original etchings, are hardly ever photographic, they are artistic subjects instead, that go beyond the simple surprising effect or the mere amazement. It is a fresh overview on artistic proposals characterized by three peculiar aspects: “the brush sign –more expressive than descriptive-; the forms conceived, created, and developed with fantasy using elaborated mixed techniques; the sense of color that incorporates the shapes, playing with the “nuances” and the tone effects. Laura Antonietti has an international curriculum and her fame is due to an artistic product that she invented from scratch: the “Lantone®” (patented name, derived from the fusion of the artist’s name and surname). This art form springs from the sphere, symbolizing the World, the Universe, Life. This art concept generates unique works based on the idea of displaying on a sort of circular canvas what was once disposed on a plain surface. This originates peculiar effects, created by the transparency of Plexiglas and, when the works are hanged outdoor, by the swings of air’s movements. It is possible to expose “Lantoni®” and the other paintings on Plexiglas and polycarbonate outside because they are resistant to the elements. She recently discovered polycarbonate on which she is doing several research and studies, using this innovative material instead of canvass. The resulting technique is extremely modern and unalterable in time, ideal for paintings conceived to be exposed outdoor. As a result of painting “in transparency”, in fact, the represented landscape changes with the different intensity of the daylight that hits it, constantly modifying the effect of chromaticism and producing dynamism. Drawings, “out-of-frame”, reproduction of classical paintings, etchings… and, lately, besides the researches on Plexiglas and polycarbonate, that involve a partnership with important Italian companies that produce paints, Laura Antonietti is approaching abstract art’s tendencies.
