About this artwork
Considering "Glimmering Calm" (39x29x1.75" oil on board) for your collection, I want to share its connection to my sixth solo show in 2026, "Ipseity." This exhibition explores the feeling of one's unique self through large-format works inspired by Arctic and equatorial landscapes, intended as deeply personal experiences shaped by your interpretation.
In "Glimmering Calm," whether dawn's quiet or dusk's stillness resonates, I invite you to explore… the interplay of abstraction and hinted landscape. The tactile surface, created with deliberate palette knife strokes, suggests peaceful forms with soft tones that glimmer like ice.
This piece, I feel, showcases my ongoing palette knife exploration, aiming for visual stimulation and emotional resonance. I sought to create an immediate impact through textural dynamism and impasto, allowing the paint's boldness to speak for itself.

Though I am creating art, I am evoking an emotion.
This has guided fifteen years of practice. Bob's work prioritises the felt experience over representation, capturing atmospheric depth that moves between tranquillity, longing, and awe. You do not simply look at these paintings. You enter them.
Working with a knife, his self-taught mastery of Impasto produces surfaces that are sculpturesque, tactile, and alive. Expansive paintings and intimate miniatures share the same driving force, a sense of place that is as much interior as it is geographical. Landscapes and seascapes become the language. Emotion is what they say.
In his seventh decade, Venafro has arrived at Ipseity, absolute selfhood, hard-earned and uncompromising. Drawing from a life in finance before the knife became his primary language, he brings something rare to the canvas. The story he is painting is his emotion. And yours, to discover. I'm discontinuing my signature on the front of the work. www.venafrobob.com
