Sabatino Cersosimo

“Love, Love, Love (III)” (2018) - oil, oxidation and engraving on welded steel plates, 75x65 cm. This was the third and last painting of a series inspired by Erika/#IsabelleHuppert in "La Pianiste" by #ElfriedeJelinek (book) and #MichaelHaneke (film) and the need of love, any kind it can be, any shades it can have: tender, raw, physical, platonic, ordinary, obsessive, sick... 🔥 In the following fragments you can see something of the work in progress, included the collection of the rust which I removed before starting painting, and collected in little test tubes. The painting is at @accessogalleria in Pietrasanta, and hopefully it will be possible to show it again this coming summer! 😉 The tubes are and will always be with me. 🌟🌟🌟 Again, my beautiful, sensitive friend and super talented artist @elisaseitzinger posed for me, and I can’t wait from painting her again soon for my first painting of 2021! 😍😉🙏 • • • #oilpainting #contemporaryart #figurativepainting #realisticpainting #sabatinocersosimo #paintedwoman #femalemodel #oxidation #experimentalart #instaart #lovelovelove (presso Accesso Galleria Pietrasanta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKMczA9ntco/?igshid=xs39rf8bjnmp

This painting will be shoen in #Mannheim at the @kunstprojekte Art Gallery for the #GroupExhibition "Das kleine Format". "Fregio (Third Movement - We Are A Galaxy)" (2016), oil, bitumen and oxidation on steel, 50x25 cm, is the third of a series which were inspired by old roman freezes seeing at the Archeological Museum in Turin. In this series, the face emerges from the rust as it was emerging from the stone in the ancient freezes. • • • #artexhibition #painting #oilpainting #experimentalart #contemporaryart #portraiture #face #retrato #malerei #paintedwoman #sabatinocersosimo (presso Kunstprojekte) https://www.instagram.com/p/B421V2ho2Pk/?igshid=dhrx876xhmll

Closer and closer to finish the new painting (the first one after a few months... 😅). Trying to use some white to have a "pale skin" effect. We'll see how it works in the end. ☁️ ❄️ 🥛 #workinprogress #painting #arteitaliana #oilonmetal #experimentalart #contemporaryart #figurativepainting #realisticpainting #dailyart #artoftheday #malerei #pittura #meninart #paintedman (presso TREPTOW ATELIERS) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0jbwGiIeOy/?igshid=1cgsffp5o3den

"Homme" (2012), oil on birch, 30x39 cm. Portrait of a beautiful french friend, when wood was the only surface I painted on. The style was a bit fresher and "rawer" than now 💙 • • #figurativepainting #oilpainting #privatecollection #contemporaryartcollector #portrait #man #boy #frenchman #realisticpainting #artoftheday #instaart #malerei #kunstinwien #beardedman #redhairman #sabatinocersosimo (presso Vienna, Austria) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByQWfrFiuHI/?igshid=1hqz521kwm5ko

In this quite busy moment exhibiting in Berlin, Pietrasanta and Munich, I would like to share "Stardust", the new painting for which I have decided to try using only three different kinds of white (Carrara's, titanium and zinc white). Let's see if time will warm it up and turn it into pink 😉 "Stardust" (2029), oil and oxidation on steel, 25x25 cm, was inspired by the wonderful expressive actor Terence Stamp in Fellini's short film "Toby Dammit" as part of the thrilogy "Histoires extraordinaires" (I love the italian title: Tre passi nel delirio). It will be shown in the exhibition/open house "Living Cities" c/o the Treptow Ateliers on Friday 17th (unfortunately I won't be physically there) during a cultural exchange with an artists house in Kyoto. 💙 🇯🇵 • • • #oilpainting #oxidation #steel #white #newpainting #sabatinocersosimo #experimentalart #contemporaryart #figurativepainting #realisticpainting #artoftheday #portrait #terencestamp #federicofellini #man #face #instaart #dailypainting (presso TREPTOW ATELIERS) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxfs76jCQKM/?igshid=1plsw8xmtjgvk

We had such a lovely evening yesterday at @kleinewunderkammer . Thanks to all the friends who were there for our opening. "Tractus" is a small but sincere exhibition with works of mine, Martina Sanhueza Alfaro, Rimondi&Orlandini, with whom for coincidence we are also friends in our everyday life. Thank you too my dear @sanhuezaalfaromartina @jessicarimondi @ornellandini 💙 1,4: my paintings and I 2: Martina's and my works 3: Martina and Rimondi&Orlandini's works Etc etc (group foto with an extra 5th component still very shy and hidden 🤣👶) • • • #exhibition #art #artspringberlin #painting #mixedmedia #sculpture #instaart #artoftheday #dailyart #friends (presso Die kleine wunderkammer) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxS6r1Jgcc6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qmdiybbequaj

A happy devoted new fan of Lotte Laserstein with the beautiful catalogue of the exhibition "Face to Face" at the @berlinischegalerie. Lotte Laserstein (1898-1993) didn't have the luck like Grosz, Dix, Gerstl and many more who are in the collections of museums in the whole world. But she deserves so much attention, and if you have the chance to be in Berlin soon, dont miss the exhibition at the Berlinische Galerie, because you'll see paintings of straordinary technique and depth. Laserstein was one of the first women to attend the academy of Fine Arts in Berlin, and had to escape to Sweden during the nazi regime. * * * #lottelaserstein #berlinischegalerie #ausstellung #exhibition #painting #modernart #femaleart #womenart #berlin (presso Berlin) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwaGKOtggDG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2vdz0r2vhrm6

"Don't Listen When I Scream (VIII)" (2015) is a painting (oil on the figure, bitumen on the beackground) on chipboard, another one of my several works on wood from last years. It's the opposite feeling to the previous two posts, where a man is quiet sleeping on a light blue background. With this more dramatic version, as the dark background and the awoken figure suggests, I wanted to reflect on how night is not always the moment of sleep but, exactly opposite to it, can be spent in vigil. Our emotions, our fears dont disappear as our body can not sleep. • • • #woodpainting #panelpainting #chipboard #oilpainting #bitumen #berlin #experimentalart #man #friend #posing #model #inspiration #beardedmen #figurativeart #realisticpainting #instaart #italianartist #sabatinocersosimo #soapandskin #apparat @anja.f.plaschg #artoftheday #paintingoftheday (presso Berlin) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwMcKhGAzKi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vriwghdwfmvz

Another "reprise" (a spontanuous idea to rename an older painting that I have decided to retouch lately) is "First Movement", a painting made in 2015 and reworked in the first week of January 2019. It's an oil and oxidation on 8 welded steel plates, 100x50 cm. Ready to fly to London for the imminent "Kronos" exhibition. ⏳ 💥 ⏱ #painting #oilpainting #contemporaryart #instaart #sabatinocersosimo #reprise #portraiture #woman #retrato #mythology #time #kronos #steel #metal #figurativeart #realisticpainting #experimentalart #fineart #exhibition #gallery (presso TREPTOW ATELIERS) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs06NOUAi6B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=33jh2xozicoj

Last portrait of me for a while, but I liked this one taken by Christoph Schieder, photographer and also neighbour in the atelier house in Treptow. Next picture will be the one of the new 2019 painting which I am finalizing these days (in this picture I have a brush in my hand!). * * * #portraiture #christophschieder #portraitofanartist #sabatinocersosimo #me #atwork #atelier #bild #maler #instaart #instaphoto #nofilter #picoftheday (presso TREPTOW ATELIERS) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsl-7oYAxvP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xhxerhx4r6n5
