Nicola Samori Contemporary Painting

<p>Nicola Samori paints renaissance-style painting and sculpture with a contemporary twist: portions of the images are disfigured. Through melting, scratching, or other forms of destruction Samori degenerates what could otherwise be conceivably a Rembrandt or Caravaggio. In this reversal of representational art, the work is not a window into another world &mdash; but the surface paint itself becomes part of the story as it displays the ruin of the image &mdash; melting or smeared across the canvas. Samori displays the highest technical skill in his oil paintings.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/surrealism/nicola-samori-contemporary-painting-9ab056959cd4"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
