About Gianfranco Fabbris:

Gianfranco began his painting experience in line with a solid Italian renaissance tradition; working in the atelier/workshop of the famous Venetian landscape painter Giussepe Marino. There he learned the technique of oil painting and the basics of the craft. While still very young he designed a series of sketches of Venetian historical figures and characters for ceramics workshop in Bassano. When in Venice he paints in the footsteps of the well known local artists like Guidi, Licata, Vedova, Gambino, Borsato whose activities he follows through personal contact and studying their works in various galleries and exhibitions. He is now one of the best know experts, having analysed and studied their brush strokes, styles, colours and techniques. Gianfranco has met Giorgio De Chirco and Renato Guttuso who sketch for him a “dove” in recognition of his painting competence and artist passion.

The landscape, the figures and Venetian views painted by Gianfracno are strong representations of passion and of his knowledge of the city on the lagoons vibrant colours applied with the brush or with the palette give a lively and stimulating image; the “figure”, vaguely reminiscent of an impressionist trait, evoke affection and irony. Active in many collective exhibitions and present in many collections in Italy and abroad, Gianfranco paints with serendipity to demonstrate his unique life adventure.

Born in Venice, Gianfranco did travel all over the world, today he lives and works in Western Australia, where he attended visual art at Perth Technology Institute. Often he returns back to Venice, the legendary Venice of E. Hemingway, Harry’s Bar, Biennale of art and famous Carnival. In his city he finds new inspirations and captures the themes of his work. Gianfranco Fabbris permanently exhibits his paintings at the Mozart Art Studio and at Domino d’arte in San Marco Venice.
