ARIA DURA PER LA FINZIONE DI UNO SCORCIO URBANO 206 (LONDON - SEPTEMBER)

This vibrant urban landscape painting captures a bustling city scene with a striking emphasis on modern architecture. The iconic Gherkin tower stands prominently in the background, surrounded by a skyline of contemporary buildings, contributing to a lively and energetic atmosphere. The foreground depicts busy streets filled with people, bordered by lush greenery that softens the urban hardness while adding a refreshing essence. The sky is tinted with hues of pink and blue, suggesting a serene sunset that bathes the entire scene in a warm, inviting light. With intricate line work and a bold color palette, the painting balances sharp architectural forms with the fluidity of nature.
This painting would be a stunning addition to modern living spaces, such as a contemporary living room or office, where it can serve as a focal point. Its dynamic energy and colors would blend beautifully with sleek furniture and minimalist decor, providing a lively contrast and encouraging conversation. Additionally, it could enhance creative spaces like galleries or cafes, inviting viewers to engage with the vibrancy of city life.

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.
