Art pairs with
technology
to produce a futuristic Art medium!
Artists across the
centuries have, in the most part,
adhered to traditional media when creating artwork. Many have excelled in their craft by expanding the knowledge of their chosen medium and have taken it to new and dazzling heights by constantly honing their skills through this newly acquired knowledge, while remaining fairly within traditional boundaries. Few actually have dared to venture into unchartered territories, but those who did, have reaped the rich artistic rewards that innovation brings and have made, for the rest of us, the quantum leap, so to speak! Adriano Gemelli is such an artist. Having distinguished himself as a traditional artist and an accomplished multi faceted one at that, went on to develop a new art medium that adds a new dimension to art. By marrying modern technology to painting he makes his art works come alive, capturing unique and dynamic characteristics that couldn’t possibly be achieved using traditional methods and media. Viewing such work becomes a new experience with the viewer, being able to have a mobile 180 degrees view point of perception, interacts with the artwork which has been constructed using Adriano’s patented method, and the work actually responds to changes in the position of the viewer and the varied light angle producing a visual rhapsody that explodes with energised colours like nothing you have seen before! How does he do it? Many years went into research and development of this method using multi layers of resins, oxidised metals such as silver, brass and 23 carat gold which are laminated onto the artwork surface to produce this new and remarkable holospectral material that changes with the light and the viewing angle into a dynamic holographic image that is carefully designed to achieve certain and calculated effect. Such amazing technique has found many applications in addition to painting such as architectural murals, Suspended sculptures, cameo tiles, beautiful table tops and will transform many other surfaces into stunning
works of art.
A little
light shed on the background of the artist
is, perhaps, in order here. Adriano has an extensive artistic background including several years residency at Dunmoochin with Clifton Pugh and Frank Hogkinson, he also the studied the S. W. Hayter's method of colour and relief etching, in 1977 he had private study travelling in Europe and from 1977 to 1980 studied commercial printing, graphic design, bookbinding and commercial camera operation, at the Melbourne College of Printing and Graphic Arts. Adriano has, also, done extensive art lecturing and community work in Victoria where he is now a very successful professional artist. You will enjoy a lovely time visiting his website at:
