At once intimate and universal, idyllic and doom-riddled, Giangiacomo Rossetti’s painting dances between empiricism and fantasy. In careful brushstrokes, Rossetti introduces our present moment’s vernacular to the monument of art history. Resurfacing various painterly schemes and techniques, the artist postures himself and friends in canonically suggestive compositions. Rossetti examines the synchronicities that support resuscitations of the old masters’ touch, meanwhile opening a discourse on objectivity and illusionism in the theater of contemporary painting.
