VALERIO VENTURA, TO EXHIBIT RECENT PAINTINGS AT CARTOON NETWORK STUDIOS, FEBRUARY 25 2009.
Valerio Ventura will introduce his most recent works, exploring architecture and design in Los Angeles and other locations around the world, a pen-and-ink potpourri, using a quill.
With “Buy this Trash” the artist, employing his customary recycling, uses discarded and found materials for his canvases and framing.
Ventura is inspired by a friend’s story of an artist in Kenya who did entire paintings with a three-inch nail; the Kenyan artist was too poor to buy a brush so he did amazing work by dipping the nail into his paint. “I guess I’m lucky I get to use a glass quill made by a Venetian glassblower,” says Ventura.
Born in Rome, Ventura is filmmaker, artist, painter and art director of the critically acclaimed animated television series Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child, for HBO, and art director of the TV series Class Of 3000 for Cartoon Network.
His art has been featured in major animated feature films such as Hercules, Mulan, The Pagemaster, and Emperor’s New Groove. His strong visual images have been on display in the Frank Wells building at the Walt Disney Studios and galleries here in the USA and in Italy.
In 1997 CalArts had a retrospective of his work, and the San Bernardino County Museum included his work in a group show.
Ventura is currently preparing for his largest show ever at the Disney Consumer product building in Glendale, CA in spring 2009.
