ELECTED INTERNET MAN ARTIST WORLD HALL OF FAME FOR APRIL 2003

Maitre Venel is an astonishing art phenomenon. He captures the melodic past of our days, nights and passion and throw it over the linens like shadows of lights over a river, to recreate a universe of a more enchanting beauty which would exist in the dreams of a parallel future, only if we dare to believe that through his colors, a brighter future might shine and through his images, those colors will materialize and free us from our fear and worries…Virtually, you can spend the rest of your life, living and breathing, dreaming and metamorphosing in his paintings. Maitre Venel is offering us a complimentary magical world where we wish to enter and burry our sorrow and anxiety for ever. For his colors bring to our eyes and soul, perhaps to our mind too, great expectations, hope, tranquility of mind, internal peace, reconciliation with ourselves, a better world build upon beauty, harmony and never ending dreams. He created this most delightful world with few strokes of genius, beauty, refinement, class, elegance and perfect understanding of the language of colors and whispers of the soul. Venel is a statement. Venel is a new definition for elegance in the contemporary figurative arts.

THE NEO IMPRESSIONISM OF PEPPE AVENI.

Peppe Aveni is a self-assured artist. Infinite limpid strokes of genius and profound affection for natural beauty drive Aveni to the edge of irresistible magnetic field called Divinity of Art, “L’Arte Divino”. In other words, Aveni brings the traditions of the old Italian Masters to a dinner table, where Champagne and caviar are served not at the tune of Puccini’s La Boheme but at the bigger than life vibrato of Gabriella Ferri, Jean Cocteau and the latest adventurer around the corner who is going to tell you stories about his village sweetheart and the Ferrari he parked in an alley… Aveni knows that, because he has mastered the palette of colors. Rich, vibrant, tender, eloquent, elegant and sincere. In those colors, a big part of our life, the villages we loved, the shores we stroll on, the streets benches who shared our patience, hope and awaiting the arrival of our darling…in those colors, Aveni plays games with us, brings us memories maybe we do not want to remember because they were so dear to us and vanished without warning us…Aveni’s colors are bigger than life and smaller than the worries it bring to us uninvited….. Aveni’s compositions are bigger than life because the sensations you share with and from his paintings are real, and because life is no more ugly when you look at Aveni’s work. I love his paintings. A pure, honest and brilliant simplicity in concept yet, delicately elevated to an ascending metamorphosis of tranquility, beauty, mastery of forms, shapes and colors unrestricted by rules and what makes us fear…think…and forget beautiful visions we saw in dreams, or maybe we never saw…and sometimes, that what kills us….not to experience and witness beauty! Aveni is a great artist!

If you look at Aveni’s streets, they are empty. But, you know somebody who cares about you and never told you that, might be there…at the end of the streets curve waiting for you…at least, you might experience this feeling in silence, and this is a wonderful experience because, Aveni’s streets don’t end on the canvas…just look at them…look one more time, they unite with shadows and unseen majestic and friendly presence beyond modest houses. A presence we love to call Serenity. Aveni mastered the light, reflections of lights, the shadows, the depth of shadows, the colors, the immensity and infinity of colors….Aveni is a great master. Humble in life he remains but, his art is soaring!
