Did You Know?

As a teenager, Ferroni lived in Tradate during World War II and later etched and painted its gardens.

Description

In The Garden at Tradate: Autumn, Gianfranco Ferroni collages fragmented images into a surreal environment. Trees, chairs, and faces overlap and tangle on the sparse canvas. These motifs appear untethered by space and perspective, evoking a sense of dreaminess. Based on a copperplate etching, the painting retains the crisp lines of a print. In his art, Ferroni explores childhood memory and the unconscious through crafting distorted landscapes.
