This striking piece of art presents an aerial view of a vibrant cityscape, showcasing a dynamic arrangement of contemporary skyscrapers and urban architecture. The sharp lines and geometric forms of the buildings create a feeling of order, while the interspersing colors add an electrifying energy to the scene. Dominant structures like a uniquely shaped dome and tall towers draw the eye, illustrating the diversity of modern architectural design. The colors are rendered in a mix of bold, vibrant hues, predominantly featuring blue, green, gray, and white, which together evoke a sense of bustling urban life. The intricate detailing enhances the overall complexity of the composition, making it not just a depiction of a city but an exploration of urban identity. This painting could be a stunning addition to modern offices, co-working spaces, or urban-themed cafes, creating a sophisticated atmosphere. Its vibrant colors and dynamic composition make it ideal for spaces that aim to inspire creativity and innovation. Additionally, it could enhance living rooms or home offices where contemporary decor is embraced, providing a focal point for conversations.
This work is part of the project "Twelve Months of London" concluded with a solo exhibition in London in 2017.
Each city has its very own vibe which makes it unique. Italian artist Pietro Dente captured the ‘tough’ city air of London in a series of twelve canvases. |
Diverse, ever-changing, mesmerising, welcoming and challenging at once, sometimes nonsensical and almost always addictive, London is home to millions of people from all over the world. From December 2016 to November 2017 Pietro Dente painted each month a different aerial view of the city with beautiful colour palettes reflecting various times of the year and of the day, as in a visual symphony. These urban landscapes attempt to fixate a moment in time and space while preserving the vibrancy and unattainability of the city. |
Pietro Dente constructs his works on a double surface, painting the canvas as a static background of shapes and skylines while concentrating the layers of coloured details on the superposed surface of polycarbonate. This final membrane gives the artworks the threedimensional character of a modern bassorilievo and it perfectly represents the incessant activity of the city inhabitants and the intricacy of its architecture. Twelve months of London is a celebration of the UK capital as city open to all.
