two works have much in common, for the subject and the atmosphere of intimate contact between the musicians. one on the left. "Lady and a Tramp," an oil on canvas dicm.40x70, plays the character of Billie Holiday, although the similarity is very vague, Having been satisfied with making the romantic eroticism of his talent, in the tenderness of the shaded Disney character in the title. The saxophone could be Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young and Dexter Gordon, or any of the exceptional solo duet with Lady, what matters is that both of them winds that swirl of colors fragmented, which aims to represent the music of that dialogue which is the delicacy of improvisational jazz. The picture is 2002, obtained by spraying and dripping colors then I built a brush, following the track of the precise monochrome sketch done initially, was shown several times, appreciated but never bought, the rest I was not convinced of the result, so the rest , until I got the idea to put it online, first on Flickr, then paintingsilove, where I received a response far above my expectations, with dozens of enthusiastic comments. Since a similar piece, "Blue Notes on a walking time ", depicting a group with bop singer, went even sold, I thought to continue in the vein of, say, light of paintings devoted to jazz, small jobs, most of that environment on a specific character .
During this time I have a job that allows me to guard the camp, but I sucked, with various home-work-shop, a dozen hours a day, so I organized in bugigattoloche acts as a concierge, in fact a process at the end of the courtyard, to do something in time to stop, with watercolors and pastels, and this led me to discover oil pastel, which, being quite material, and presenting just as dry, I allows us to study and do it, thereby compensating for the loss of oil paint that divides. with all other rich tones.
From this was born the other work that, in derogation from my habit of avoiding the obviousness of the Blue, is titled "Mood Indigo", a cartoon cm.35x50.
Being able to overlay the colors without having to wait for ascigatura, you can search on accurate color, a little disturbed by the tendency of crayons into a paste which produces unwanted nuances, the ability to scrape and repaint it gives good control and, at the expense freshness. It is therefore to develop devices that produce effects, combining them we approaches the desired result. The musicians are not playing, but the music is, how are agreeing on what pace to move, to convey feelings that mood ... mood, exactly.
