René Gruau Designs Rugs for Amini Italy

I love the simplicity of this rug as well as the colours. The design clearly reflects René Gruau's style of illustration. You can see one more rug at Amini here.

Playing Musical Notes with Artist Caio Fonseca

American born artist Caio Fonseca spends his time between New York and Petrasanta, Italy. He honed his craft in Europe during his twenties and he can now enjoy quiet success in his home town. The key to understanding his work is to see the layering technique he has perfected over the years. Layers upon layers, his abstract forms play like musical notes between foreground and background. This sort of hide and seek approach is enriched by the sum of colour which he introduces to his art. From far away you cannot tell what is painted first. Upon inspection you can see the amount of time and energy he devotes to his craft and especially to choosing and mixing his colours. His technique is similar to Jeffrey Gibson's earlier work who used layering and subtraction to arrive at his work's completion. But ultimately Caio Fonseca's artwork is most similar to itself. His colour scheme and forms seem like they could dance from one painting to the next. At best they are viewed together although alone they make for an impressive feat.
