About this artwork
Hibernation marks a pivotal moment of discovery in my transition from a professional career to a full-time life of painting. Created during a period of intense experimentation with acrylic mediums, this work is an evolution of my "Majestic" series, born from a desire to push the boundaries of scale and structure.
Breaking from traditional formats, I bolted four 36 x 24-inch canvases together to create a singular 48 x 72-inch scene. This unconventional… quadriptych approach, held by special hardware, provides a unique architectural depth to the cool winter landscape. Using both brushes and knives, I grounded the birch trees in a naturally occurring perspective within the bottom third—an unplanned result of organic growth on the canvas.
A single maple leaf rests in the bottom right, a touch of warmth in the frost. This piece captures the raw, uninhibited energy of finding a new "job" in retirement and the discovery that talent, when given space, naturally finds its form.
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
