GLAZED TERRACOTTA PANEL by FRANCESCO FAVAGROSSA – cm. 160X120 – 2012 TITLE: FINESTRA NEL CIELO (WINDOW IN THE SKY)
Since his youth, Francesco Favagrossa has been constantly and passionately developing his passion for painting by drawing inspiration from such masters as Aligi Sassu, Annigoni and Paride Falchi. The Po Valley landscapes, whose nature – beloved rather than investigated – the artist breaks up and then re-composes according to his own sensitivity, are Favagrossa’s leit-motif. Favagrossa shrinks from real world representation as he rather ‘feels’ the world around. Since 2012 he has worked at Ceramiche San Giorgio ceramic workshop thus giving his work a figurative twist.
