Fabrizio Gerbino
August 17 – September 29, 2024
Italian artist Fabrizio Gerbino has created 8 paintings on paper and canvas for his solo exhibition “Italian Landscapes” at the Sewickley Public Library.
Gerbino is from Florence, Italy and studied art in Florence. His first studies in painting were with his father Eugenio. An art dealer from Milan asked his father to paint landscapes of Italy and the United States which were highly requested at that time. Father and son would paint “en plein air” and also at their home. Gerbino later went on to study at the Istituto Statale D’Arte di Firenze and at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze. He would often travel around the Tuscany region to paint the countryside with his classmates and other artists from Italy and beyond.
This current series of paintings of Tuscany were painted from his studio here in Pittsburgh between 2019 and 2024, recalling memories and a connection to his early period of painting. Gerbino finds it interesting to paint these Italian landscapes while living in the United States. If the viewer looks closely, they may see a nostalgic quality in them.
