It is always an unmissable event when an important artist like Claudio Viscardi shows new work - his multi-layered compositions of infinite depth combine complexity with a rare poetic quality. Viscardi is a dual Irish-Swiss citizen living in the Beara peninsula in SW Ireland using natural, rare pigment such as lapis lazuli, malachite, rock crystal and ground marble to create in his very individual style. This new exhibition explores imaginary landscapes intermingled with the moods of the Beara Peninsula and those of New York and Venice. Re-occurring themes of night and day are further explored, deepening Viscardi's fascination with night landscape - evolving day into night. Viscardi himself comments: "My technique of the semi fresco and the continued
research with historical and natural pigments, has brought me to allow the sea and skies to move on the canvas and capture the light, moods and realism of the landscape." Viscardi is internationally collected and seriously investable.
