"Loving Tuscany" Series
Oil on canvas
 
Frank'O
Italian - Argentinian
 
 
Exuberant canvases, violent and subtle brushstrokes, thick palpable texture, and color, lots of it. Color everywhere as if his life depended on it. A tour the force of unquestionable Van Gogh origins.
The hills, the sunflowers, the prairies are all a spectacle of the passionate soul that painted them. To stare into Franko’s world is to jump into a Nietzschean abyss and come back jubilant, exultant and reborn. Huxley spoke of the Doors of Perception but Frank’O painted them in front of our very eyes. In his paintings we perceive Tuscany, yes, but that is only in the surface because once we got hypnotized by his world we find a soul that refuses to be silent, a bravado of color and texture without regards for excess and what it may bring.

To enter Franko’s world is to fall into an ocean with no end, a black hole filled with rainbows and bright lights as if his hands were no other than creation itself.
