Iona Fromboluti Recent Work
Denise Bibro Fine Art
This event has ended.
Fromboluti’s compositions posit unresolved narratives. Hinting at the macabre, they are populated by animal skeletons, desiccated flowers, bugs, discarded oyster shells, the delicate carcass of a small bird; yet she also strikes a blithe note with verdant flora, a string of pearls, and even a box of chocolates. Fromboluti elevates her work to a new level, as she invites the outside in, choosing dramatic skyscapes as the backdrop to these exquisitely painted still lifes. These skyscapes are painted with a looser hand, conveying movement. Foreboding clouds brood beyond what appears to be a mantelpiece, lending a sense of fragility to the objects, as one imagines they may be swept from their perch by a strong gust. The dramatic impact of the work is heightened by a long horizontal support, inferring a monumental landscape with a wide, uninterrupted horizon line.
