U3

This striking painting showcases an urban landscape featuring a transit system elevated above a vibrant blue sky. The painting includes a section of a modern train with bold red accents, contrasting against the smooth, angular architecture of the supporting structure below. The impressive stonework features intricate carvings that hint at a fusion of contemporary transport and historical artistry, culminating in a compelling visual narrative. This artwork captures the dynamic interplay between modernity and tradition, evoking feelings of nostalgia while celebrating urban progression.
This painting would be an excellent addition to contemporary office spaces, modern waiting areas, or urban-themed cafes. Its vibrant colors and architectural elements can energize a space, making it suitable for environments that cater to creativity and innovation, while also appealing to those with a love for city life. Consider complementing it with industrial-style furniture or minimalist décor to enhance the visual impact.

A new city scene unfolds on this oil-painted canvas. The recording from below shows a subway train that drives over a bridge. The reflections of the train contrast with the heavy supporting structure built from stone and steel. The architectural structure is decorated with a figure depicted in high relief and worshipping the sun. As a silhouette, the whole stands out from a clear sky of intense blue. Manuel Di Chiara returns to oil painting after some time, with its distinctive style, where it is not lacking in details and the perspective is well executed. The canvas is part of the urban series where the artist has worked since 2000, the year of his graduation at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples. The work is framed on a stable wooden frame and glued to the edges with gray adhesive tape.
