Giovanni Lunardi Tridimensional Photo Artworks
Giovanni Lunardi My artistic photographic work started at the end of the 70’s. Since the beginning my art has been focused on obtaining a three dimensional experience from otherwise two dimensional images. I worked many years in the dark room, cutting and curling innocent black and white prints that did not deserve to be treated this way. Finally, I learned the artistic language and I began working on a series called 3D. I finally had found my way and ever since I have been creating works of art with much satisfaction. 3D is a series of several pieces that use different techniques over many years. The cuts through the images, let us search a world beyond the limits of a photographic picture. The objects add more depth to the photos - shadows, movement, and color which give insight and life to the images. The work is then confined by thick shadow boxes which create a separate dimension for the art to live in a dimension with its own constraints, light, colors and atmosphere. cover:

In the past few years, my work has expanded in a new direction. “Explosion” is a project that pushed me to search in each piece a strong and constant movement realized with exploded photographs overlaid one on top of the other. The explosion can be the result of many factors: speed, sound, wind, … The subject for the Explosion series are very diverse in nature: people, vehicles or objects. The observer is caught by the movement of the images bound by dark shadowboxes that confine the art in a way to keep it from escaping.

Giovanni Lunardi “...la fotografia diventa tridimensionale con l’utilizzo di tecniche diverse che danno all’immagine un respiro nuovo, nuove angolazioni visuali, movimento, il raggiungimento di nuovi limiti e la scoperta iperrealista di qualcosa che potrebbe non essere ma che c’e’... “...il desiderio dell’autore e’ quello di dare allo spettatore un’attimo di imbarazzo davanti alle opere per farlo pensare e ricercare nel suo intimo la risposta oggettiva alle domande che si pone, sollecitato dalle immagini che gli passano davanti e che suscitano in lui interrogativi da risolvere...” To buy our artwork or to request more information, contact us by email (studio@lunardi.com) or by phone (941-359-9155)
