About this artwork
The thirst
Work of the Vanitas series
Encaustic material and photographic base on canvas - unique work
the frame has a chipped edge as per detail
Technical info: with “Opera al Nero”, Gianluca Chiodi enriches the photographic medium with painting. Thus, after the classic but personal photographic work of light and framing studies, the encaustics on canvas are born. The image, after being printed on canvas (or board) is painted with the ancient… encaustic technique: the color pigments are mixed using molten wax kept in the liquid state as a binder, then spread on the support with a brush and made to dry. This ancient technique, already known to the Greeks and of which we have evidence in the frescoes of Pompeii, contrasts with the modernity of the photographic medium, making it more evanescent and helping to fix it on the support.

Gianluca Chiodi is an established Italian photographer with national exposure. Inspired by Italian operas, Caravaggio, and the romanticism of painting, he composes photographs that blur visual reality, fantasy and sensuality together into an irresistible, sensory aesthetic. In doing so, Chiodi explores subjects such as the human body and the power of its movement, the environment and its protection, and people and their vices.
