BIOGRAPHY
Gianni LaRosa was born in 1937 at San Biagio Platani, in Sicily, and he spent his adolescence there. At age twelve, the artist started feeling the powerful drive of his creative inspiration, and began forging ahead in the figurative arts pushed by his own formidable impulse, and the urging of his town’s parish priest.
In 1954 Gianni LaRosa emigrated to the US from his native land, and continued to paint and unveil his works in galleries and art exhibits both in the US and in Italy, and especially in France where his style was paralleled to those of Caravaggio, Botticelli, Tiziano, and Renoir.
“Les couleurs pures et harmonieument etudiee, donnent de la profounder au tableau et mettent en relief, par un un choix judicious les personnages principaux”. “The colors, pure and harmoniously composed, give the painting great depth, and bring forth, through knowledgeable choice, the principal theme”, it was said of his works at the 1993 International Art Exhibit in Paris.
Gianni LaRosa was the recipient of notable honors such as -- for instance -- a stamp with his name on it and depiction of one of his works on exhibit at the Musee de Beaux Arte d’Unet, and in 1996, he was the recipient of the prestigious Gold Medal for the figurative arts. Recently, he received the “First Prize for Creativity” at famed Sapporo’ Art Biennial, in Japan.
An Artist with a fertile mind and rich in the soul, Gianni Larosa epitomizes the very essence of love for nature and towards the being that God put at its center: man. In his works, he expresses the romanticism of a bygone era, the tenderness of Raphael, The vision of Leonardo, and the power of Michelangelo. His subjects are at times historical, at times mythical, always human and transpiring both love for life and contrasting feelings, with strong refined tones that merge in a unique blend of characters, and in a conception that reaches epic pinnacles in a fusion of strength, polychromy, simplicity and love of life, harmony and happiness, as well as tenderness and joy.
