SATURNO BUTTO (1957), ITALIAN SURREALIST PAINTER – Painting a human figure, to illustrate the story that you decide to tell.

A work focused on identity and content.

The work of SATURNO BUTTO, born in Portogruaro (Venice), is characterized by his interpretation of sacred art. What you observe inside his paintings, is his creative and conflicting approach to Western religious iconography, compared to the human body. Within a conflict between transgression and ecstasy, living paintings and neo-Gothic altars, the artist’s surrealist horizons explore the mysteries of an indefinable religion. https://it-it.facebook.com/Saturno-Butto-60953827784/

You too have observed with amazement some of her beautiful women with a halo of gold around their heads, an aura that seems to enclose in gold the colors of destruction and decadence. SATURNO BUTTO, loves to represent the human figure as something sacred, something that is often accompanied by instruments that represent human pain. The fruits of his artistic creativity are poised between aesthetic formalism and highly transgressive elements. http://macabregallery.com/en/saturno-butto/

From the beginning of the eighties, he began to perfect the use of the oil technique, thus approaching a realistic style very close to that of Caravaggio. SATURNO BUTTO received an education in the arts, attending the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, approaching the design of the human figure and developing a classical technique that brought him closer to the ferments of creative experimentation. What he paints, is characterized by the constant presence of the human figure, always inserted into scenarios in which the bodies are the protagonists of a vast imaginary horizon. https://www.saatchiart.com/saturno
