Francesco Clemente Paints A Multicultural Landscape | Brilliant Ideas Ep. 9
The 1998 film adaptation of Charles Dickens’ “Great Expectations” was a visual treat, with several scenes reminiscent of fairy tales as the story was presented through the protagonist, a painter. The artist’s unique, elementary drawings of nature depicting fish, cats, seagulls and stars were contrasted with mature dark portraits. Although the dichotomy was quite stark, all the works featured in the film were created by a single artist: Italian painter Francesco Clemente.A student of the classics, Clemente became interested in Eastern culture through his travels.
Enchanted by the aesthetics of India in particular, the artist began to experiment in his work by blending East and West together. His ideas today fuse together Italy’s ancient art, literature, mythology and religion with classical Western elements. In the ninth episode of Brilliant Ideas brought to you by Bloomberg and Hyundai, meet the artist and his eclectic ideas.

Its ok. Not jumping up and down about the tents but some nice water colours.
Fantastisk kunstner, dejligt imødekommende og kærligt univers.
feeling like Francesco Clemente and Alejandro Jodorowsky would be good friends.
How can I contact him regarding an interview? Please if you have any contact then share it with me.
Clemente, Solakov, Melgaard, Bijl, all lookalikes... extraterrestrial invasion?!

I think he used to be an interesting artist ,the money gallery vultures are circleing and he’s wandering in the wilderness .
It´s not art for me, only handcrafts and bad handcrafts.

That is because you don't recognise art in his paintings. It is ok, a different bird song for every ear. I don't enjoy every artist i see. But there is, as i read your comment mixing virtuosity and art. You want virtuosity, of another, more common and expected kind. Maybe you even expect painting to look like photograph. An acrobat is not a dancer. If you prefer acrobats, go to circus, don't expect a dancer to give you that kind of thrill and amazement.
Booooooriiiiingggg.... Why are these paintings so boring?
