Astrattismo delle Origini

This collection of works is created to remember that the styles of figurative painting, symbolism and abstract art were conceived by primitive man, in the caves of prehistory, at least in their embryonic stage. Some colored geometric shapes, found in rock paintings, symbols designed and codified by Professor André Leroi Gourhan, are revised, transfigured, idealized, dreamed, reinvented in the works of Andrea Benetti, who wants to pay an appropriate homage to the true origin of art abstract. This collection of works is composed of bas-reliefs created with chalk on canvas and subsequently antiqued with natural substances such as cocoa, turmeric, henna, karkadè, coffee and finished with oil colors. All the works have a white, smooth frame, approximately 7 cm wide. On request, the work can also be sold without a frame.

Fotografie

My life, my eyes, my memories, my art to share with you.

Fotografie di Venezia

Venice is a unique city in the world, it has nothing that resembles it for its beauty, for its enchanting history and for its uniqueness. In Venice, sometimes you seem to have materialized into its glorious past, when everyone knew it as the Serenissima, while other times you discover the latest trend there, as this splendid place has remained at the top of the most glamorous places in the world. Being in Venice is like daydreaming, inside an ageless dream, where history and the present are often the same thing.

Un primitivo nel Terzo Millennio

This collection of works is conceived by the child in us, who loves to imagine what today a hypothetical prehistoric man would paint on the rocky wall of the cave. No more horses or bison, because they are no longer visible in the cities we live in. Andrea Benetti portrays what are now some of the symbols of our civilization, present in everyday life. The symbols are cars, planes, scooters, sailboats, golfers and flower arrangements. The works are composed of bas-reliefs created with plaster on canvas, antiqued with cocoa, turmeric, henna, coffee and finished with oil colors. All the works have a white, smooth frame, approximately 7 cm wide. On request, the work can also be sold without a frame.

Opere create con colori del Paleolitico

To create this cycle of works, Andrea Benetti used archaeological material (colors) dating back to the Paleolithic. The artistic project was born from the collaboration of Benetti with the University of Ferrara and the Department of Arts of the University of Bologna, for the creation of the exhibition, set up in April 2015, in the halls of the Chamber of Deputies, entitled "VR60768 anthropomorphic figure" . For the project, the Department of Humanities of the University of Ferrara (Archeology of Prehistory) provided Benetti with archaeological material (small quantities of ocher, coal, earth and sediments deriving from the washing of the finds) found in the Fumane cave and col which had been created two works painted by prehistoric man and found during archaeological excavations. The material was used by Benetti to pigment the works, after creating the background with marble dust and gypsum, recreating the effect of a cave wall on the canvas.

Omaggio alla pittura Rupestre

This collection of works offers a fitting tribute to the men who tens of thousands of years ago felt the need to communicate visually for the first time, leaving their mark on history. These ancestors have the great honor of having invented art, or rather, of having manifested themselves first, since they needed to express their artistic creativity, which is endemic to man. This collection of works is composed of bas-reliefs created with plaster on canvas and subsequently antiqued with natural substances such as cocoa, turmeric, henna, coffee and finished with oil colors. All the works have a white, smooth frame, approximately 7 cm wide. On request, the work can also be sold without a frame.

Photo Graphics

Photographs become a means of creating a dream. Andrea Benetti makes them meet, to create new dream worlds. The use of computer graphics is the glue between images, which suddenly bind to each other, intertwined as if they were born together. Benetti creates this new world of colorful dreams, which ignite the imagination of memory, evoked by those images.

Disegni Neorupestri

The "Neorupestri Drawings" or "Neo Cave Drawings" are made by Andrea Benetti on raw paper, transformed with various treatments and using many natural substances to pigment it, to become the "Carta di Montesanto", "Carta di Patù", "Carta of Sant'Erasmo "... The drawings are made with charcoal, sanguine, chalk and sepia. The themes of the portraits sometimes borrow subjects painted by prehistoric man, or transfigure and reinvent them, creating a neo-symbolism inspired by Rock Painting. The drawings are placed between two sheets of plexiglass, joined by eight steel studs, to emulate, in the game of fiction, a fantastic archaeological apocryphal.

Signum Crucis

The collection, entitled "Signum Crucis" portrays the symbol of the Cross, in a context of abstract painting. It is a “different” collection from the subjects inspired by Rock painting, which usually influence the art of Andrea Benetti, but they are works entirely made with his classic pictorial style (the bas-reliefs created in the background plaster on canvas). After a work by Andrea Benetti, depicting the Christian Cross (dedicated to John Paul II), was donated to Pope Benedict XVI by the Moral Agency ANFE, the Bolognese artist created a collection of twelve works, made on the subject of the Cross of Christ. All the works have a white, smooth frame, approximately 7 cm wide. On request, the work can also be sold without a frame.

"Archetipi nell'oblio" di Andrea Benetti & Dario Binetti

We could classify this type of artistic expression, the latest research on Esoteric Art. Born from the union of the creativity of Andrea Benetti and Dario Binetti, the universal archetypes come to life against the evocative background of stalactites and stalagmites of the Castellana Caves, embodied by the plastic figures of monks and vestals, illuminated by a candelabra with five candles, symbolizing the five elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. Through a fusion between a photograph printed on a plaster bas-relief made on canvas, the artists capture the primordial essence of the archetypes, exploring the past, present and future of mankind, through a unique work for each printed photograph.
