CALIFORNIA POOL

 

"JUMP" oil on canvas 80 x 80 x 3,5 cm

Selected from the  SAATCHIART COLLECTION

Summertime Sights

curated by India Balyejusa - Assistant Curator at Saatchi Art

 

ITALIAN

"Jump" pays homage to the famous pop art painting by the British artist David Hockney, in which, however, a large spray of water created by the diver appears, that is, a few seconds after Trevisan's painting.
Dimensions of the painting: 80 x 80 x 3.5 cm thick. The artwork is painted on 3.5 cm thick gallery canvas, it is also painted on the edge and is ready to hang on the wall.
In the painting there is a view of a swimming pool with a 1960s modernist architecture building typical of Californian houses behind it. A yellow diving board protrudes from the left side of the painting, from which a diver in a red bathing suit has just dived just before diving into the blue pool, the edge of which is outlined by a blue stripe and a thinner white one. The painting is projected in a horizontal dimension so as not only to the diver but also to the eye of the observer a free blue space of the still empty swimming pool: it represents a dimension of freedom on which to project both the immersion and the dimension of our dreams. The colors used are deliberately homogeneous and decisive to emphasize the strong Californian light and give the painting a pop art version. The yellow diving board stands out dramatically on the turquoise water of the pool, which echoes in the intense turquoise of the sky. The architecture of the building is represented by a rectangular block with full-light windows, in front of which a folding chair is clearly delineated. Two palm trees on long, thin trunks adorn the background of the painting. Other palm trees and distant buildings are reflected in the windows of the house. A row of low, green vegetation decorates his right side of the painting.
