<\/a>A Selection of nudes that have been partly inspired by various art periods \/artists and personal ideas.<\/p>\n

‘Venus’ was my response to Manet’s Olympia. I wanted to paint a nude that reflected presumed cultural aesthetic ideals for the contemporary generation’.<\/p>\n

‘Christian Furr can be linked to the Symbolist movement because he exploits\u00a0\u00a0 ambiguity\u00a0\u00a0 and the enigmatic\u00a0\u00a0 recalling Burne Jones\u2019s\u00a0\u00a0 definition of painting: \u201ca beautiful romantic dream of something that never was, never will be \u2013 in a light better than any that ever shown \u2013 in a land no one can define or remember, – only desire \u2013 and the forms divinely beautiful\u201d. ..
\nIn \u201c Marble hill Nude – La Reve\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 the tree can symbolize fertility.\u00a0 Furr sees art as the supreme moment when man, through unconscious intuition, can grasp the truth lying behind reality\u201d and he is linked to Imaginism\u00a0\u00a0 because he maintains complexity and allusiveness\u00a0\u00a0 dealing with subjective emotions and individual themes.\u00a0 In \u201cMarble Hill Nude\u201d there is a living microcosm, a visionary power of spirit in which the landscape is fragmented, suggesting the loss of consciousness;\u00a0 it is like an enchanted dream recalling Marcel Proust\u2019s verses: \u201c ..et maintenant..il pouvait se trouver dans le seul milieu o\u00f9 il put vivre, jouir de l\u2019essence des choses, c\u2019est-a-dire en dehors du temps\u201d
\nIn his painting \u201cVenus\u201d the atmosphere of great intimacy is conveyed by the Rossettian aesthetic perception of the nude who represents the femme fatale surrounded by a sensual atmosphere remembering\u00a0\u00a0 G.Ungaretti\u2019s verses: \u201cI contemplate the boundless silence of a slender girl\u201d .<\/p>\n

The beautiful woman is in bed, perhaps she has just been woken up\u00a0and the painter wants to capture quietness and tranquility. Her body is graceful and harmonious, she does not exhibit her nudity and covers her pubis modestly remembering William Wordsworth\u2019s verses: \u201cWe are laid asleep..and become a\u00a0\u00a0 living soul, while with an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, we see into the life of things\u201d The artist looks to antique sources\u00a0\u00a0 portraying the nude body drawing on ancient Greek and Roman myths and it is in line with the great nudes of the French Impressionists and recalls Dante Alighieri\u2019,s verses:\u201d So noble and so pure seems my lady\u2026she looks so pleasant to those who admire her that she sends sweetness through the eyes into the heart that none can understand who has not felt it\u201d<\/p>\n

All these elements, combined with other technical devices and skills, make his art unique and complex. The purpose of the stratification of multicultural references is to give art a full cross-section of human history and to explore it with the aim of discovering the harmonious and ambiguous individual living.<\/p>\n

It is important to notice that Christian Furr is a pictorial poet who wants to convey truth to mankind since he considers Art a vehicle of the most profound feelings of heart but in the act of painting he is free from external rules except those imposed on his creative genius recalling Paul Eluard\u2019s verses \u201d Et par le pouvoir d\u2019un mot je recommence ma vie Je suis n\u00e9 pour te connaitre pour te nommer Libert\u00e9\u201d \u2018I write your name. And by the power of a word. I start my life again. I was born to know you. To name you. Freedom.’ \u2013 Cappello<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
